Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is a cylindrical altar dedicated to Augustus. For other altars dedicated to Augustus at Athens, see Agora XVIII 275 with notes and on Augustus and Athens, see SEG 29.168 with notes. The top has been hollowed out and rough picked. This is probably not the fire pan for sacrifices, but a trace of some secondary use.
