NOTICE
Athens, Ancient Agora. Excavations ahead of the laying of a new railway line east of the
Stoa of Zeus uncovered further remains of the altar of the Twelve Gods, the southwest corner
of which lies within the archaeological site. Part of the paved floor and the krepis of the stone
fence were revealed. Above the altar were the foundations of a Late Roman house, with a
marble head of a herm built into its northeast corner. Between the Stoa of Zeus and the altar,
part of the "West Road" is preserved, plus the fragmentary foundations of a fifth-century AD
circular building, part of which was found in the northern part of the Agora by the ASCSA. East
of the altar, superposed road layers of the Panathenaic Way were uncovered, and three blocks,
perhaps from a starting system. In the eastern section of the road was a Byzantine silo and
shallow square cuttings in the rock of unknown use.
