Initial Provenance:
Pleiades

Details:

Probably built around the second century CE, it showed initially a pronaos and a large cella. It was substantially changed after the earthquake in 262 CE, when the cult space was waterproofed to become a cistern, probably connected to the adjacent Shrine of the Meander Mosaic. It seems that it was completly destroyed by the earthquake of 365 CE.
