About the site

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.
