East Propylon, Ancient Roman gate in Roman Agora, Athens, Greece
The East Propylon features white marble columns and connects the Roman Agora with the city through a central passageway measuring fifteen meters in length.
Built during the Roman period, this gateway marks a shift in architectural design from Greek to Roman influences in the development of Athens.
The East Propylon served as a transitional space where merchants and citizens gathered before entering the commercial center of Roman Athens.

The structure incorporates iron reinforcement bars within its marble blocks, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques of Roman construction methods.
