Euromos Ancient City Zeus Temple Columns Ruins in Anatolia Royalty Free Stock Photo

One of the best preserved half a dozen temples in Asia is the Temple of Zeus in Euromos, although the remains of the city are very worn. A.D. It was constructed in the 2nd century building facades with 9 columns and Corinthian order. It is understood that 3 columns on the north side of the building and the column in the southwestern corner of the building were left unoccupied. There are panels with votive inscriptions in all the columns on the faces facing north and west. Five of the columns were presented by physicists and public officials Menekrates and his daughter Tryphania, and seven others by Leo Quintos. The big but rather poorly located theater is located in the recess of the slope just above the plain.
