[1] This is one of over a hundred surviving altars from Athens dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD), as saviour, founder, and Olympios, on which see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 7 with notes. This is an unusually large example. The inscription also appears inside a crown on Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 27. There is a dowel hole on the bottom of the altar.
