Temple of Hadrian on Curetes Street

Also along Curetes Street lies the Temple of Hadrian, a Roman Emperor. Lysimachos, who rebuilt the city, restored this street, which was regarded as sacred, preserving it's original shape in 290 BC. Lysimachos was Macedonian officer and successor of Alexander the Great and became king ruling Macedonia, Thrace, and Asia Minor.

  8. In the Argos there is a statue (or what is left of it) of emperor Hadrian. Anyhow, I much enjoy the visit to Mary's house and the interesting (new for me) information that goes with it.
    Imagine writing a book about what happened to Mary.
