Altar of Zeus Agoraios, Religious monument in Ancient Agora, Greece.
The Altar of Zeus Agoraios stands as a marble structure measuring 9 meters deep and 5.5 meters wide in the northwestern section of the Ancient Agora.
Excavations in 1931 revealed this 4th century BC altar, which was later moved from its original location at the Pnyx during the Augustan period.
The altar served as a central point for both religious ceremonies and political assemblies, reflecting the connection between spirituality and governance in ancient Athens.
The archaeological site contains visible mason marks from different construction periods and provides direct evidence of ancient Greek architectural techniques and materials.
The altar's dimensions and positioning within the Agora demonstrate how religious structures were integrated into the daily commercial activities of ancient Athens.
