Monument of the Eponymous Heroes, Ancient public notice board in Ancient Agora of Athens, Greece
The Monument of Eponymous Heroes consists of a marble base measuring 16 meters long, originally supporting ten bronze statues and two tripods.
The monument underwent reconstruction around 330 BC, replacing an earlier structure from the 5th century BC located further south in the Agora.
The ten bronze statues represented heroes selected by the Oracle of Delphi, connecting each figure to one of the administrative tribes of Athens.
Wooden panels along the monument's sides served as notice boards for military conscriptions, legal proceedings, and official announcements of ancient Athens.
The foundation includes irregular stone blocks and partial remains of the fence posts that once supported the wooden announcement panels.
