Philopappos Monument, Ancient mausoleum on Mouseion Hill, Athens, Greece.
The marble monument stands 10 meters tall with a two-story structure featuring detailed friezes and statues depicting royal figures and processions.
The monument was constructed in 116 AD to honor Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philopappos, a Commagene prince who became an Athenian citizen.
The structure combines Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural influences present in second-century Athens.
Visitors can access the monument free of charge throughout the year and reach it via a walking path from Dionysiou Areopagitou Street.
The monument features inscriptions in both Greek and Latin, documenting Philopappos's dual identity as an Athenian citizen and Roman consul.
