[1] This is one of over fifty statue bases for the Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD) attested from Athens. The epithet "Olympios" indicates a date after 128/9 AD and probably at or after the consecration of the Temple of Olympian Zeus in 132 AD (see IG II² 3290 with notes). On Hadrian and his relationship with Athens, see IG II² 5185 with notes. The name of the dedicator, which might be a city, group, or an individual, is lost.
