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.

    gosh, these reliefs are beautiful! 290 BC--i couldn't count how old this place is. what a great opportunity that you were able to see and walk this place, touch the stones, breath the air there.:p

    hmmnn, you've been a naughty girl! i know where you took the photo in your header--i always ran away from that place (lol).

    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.

    They had much patience in carvings during the old times. The last photo boasts a lot of classic details.

    PS. I want to eat your blog header. Yummy!
