Altar of Zeus Agoraios
The Altar of Zeus Agoraios (meaning Zeus of the Agora) is an altar dating to the 4th century BC located north-west of the Ancient Agora of Athens, constructed from white marble, 9m deep and 5.5m wide. It was one of the first objects to be discovered inside the Agora during the excavations of 1931.
