ΑΡΓΟΣ - The Square Nymphaeum

Between 150 and 200AD a square building (C) was built on the race track (S). Its sides were 6.35m in length and it was built of brick. The corners formed columns and each side had an opening of 2.35m. The monument was decorated on the inside with vertical slabs of marble, and contained a marble water tank. Although it looks like a tomb, it was, in fact, a Nymphaeum. An inscription on the upright marble slabs declares that this monumental drinking fountain was dedicated to the family of Tiberius Julius, thus ensuring that its name would survive. The construction coincided with the end of the use of the racing track. When Argos’ Agora lost its public nature, in later antiquity, the drinking fountain was converted into a home.
