New Place Resources

  • The Hellenistic Arsenal is the modern name for a rectangular building on the Kolonos Agoraios in Athens, built in the 270s or 260s BC and destroyed during the Sullan Sack of Athens in 86 BC. It appears to have been modelled on the Naval Arsenal at Piraeus and was probably used for the storage of weapons and armour.

  • The so-called House of Leda and the Swan at Pompeii (Regio V 6,12) is located along the street referred to as Via del Vesuvio. The domus is well-appointed with Fourth Style wall paintings.

  • The modern name for a temple built in the south-eastern corner of the Athenian Agora next to the Panathenaic Way in the early second century AD, using material from the Temple of Athena at Sounion. A colossal cult statue of a female deity was located inside. It was demolished in the late third century AD and used as building material for the Post-Herulian Wall.

  • The South Square is the modern name for an enclosed area at the south end of the Athenian Agora, which was built in the mid-second century BC, incorporating some earlier structures. Parts of it were damaged in the Sullan Sack of 86 BC and demolished.

  • South Stoa I is the modern name for the stoa that bounded the southern edge of the Agora of Athens from the late 5th century BC until the mid-2nd century BC, when it was demolished and replaced with South Stoa II. It contained rooms for communal dining and was probably the headquarters of the metronomoi and other officials.

  • South Stoa II is the modern name for the stoa that formed the south side of the South Square of the Agora of Athens. It was built in the mid-second century BC, on the site of South Stoa I using material from the Square Peristyle, and destroyed in the Sullan Sack of Athens in 86 BC.

  • The Square Peristyle is the modern name for a large square peristyle in the northeast corner of the Agora of Athens, begun around 300 BC, but never completed. It may have functioned as a lawcourt in the early Hellenistic period. It was demolished and used to build South Stoa II in the early 2nd century BC. The site was subsequently used for the Stoa of Attalos

  • The Temple of Apollo Patroos on the west side of the Agora of Athens was built at the end of the fourth century BC. It contained a famous statue of Apollo by Euphranor. The structure wraps around the tiny fourth-century BC shrine of Zeus Phratrios and Athena Phratrios. The existence of an earlier temple, destroyed during the Persian Sack of 480 BC, is disputed.

  • The Temple of Athena Pallenis was built in the mid-6th century BC and rebuilt on a larger scale in the late 5th century BC. In myth, the location was the site of King Eurystheus' tomb and Theseus' victory over the Pallantidai. In 546 BC, it was the site of the battle by which Peisistratos finally established his tyranny. At the end of the 1st century BC, the structure was disassembled and rebuilt in the Agora of Athens as the Temple of Ares.

  • The Tomb of Gaius Vestorius Priscus is located in Pompeii's Porta Vesuvio necropolis. Gaius Vestorius Priscus was an aedile and was granted 2,000 sesterces by the town council for his tomb and funeral. The tomb is decorated with paintings depicting a funereal meal.
