| Scope and Content |
Three card bases with black and white photographs attached. The original description in the catalogue reads: "209. a. Steps leading down to a cistern. b. Portico, with the chapel of St. John, built over the first (Geometric) temple of Hera Akraia. The chapel has since been removed and rebuilt on another site. c. Seventh-century inscription on one of the sides of the altar (212c), 'I am a drachma for Hera of the White Arms.' This stone originally supported an offering, perhaps a drachma or handful of iron spits (which were the earliest coinage) like those dedicated at the Argive Heraeum, and the Orthia Sanctuary (195)." |
