Temple of Ares Just north of the Odeion lie the ruins of a building identified by Pausanias as a temple of Ares (Figs. 56, 57). The foundations are of Early Roman construction and date, but the marble pieces of the superstructure, now assembled at the western end of the temple platform, are of the 5th century B.C. They can be restored as a Doric peripteral temple, close in plan, date, and size to the Hephaisteion [5]. Roman masons’ marks carved on the blocks indicate that the temple originally stood elsewhere, was carefully taken apart with all the pieces labelled, and then reerected on the new foundations built for it in the Agora. |
