[1] This statue base is part of a group erected for Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD) in the precinct of the Temple of Olympian Zeus by delegations from cities throughout the Roman Empire to celebrate Hadrian's consecration of the temple in 132 AD (see IG II² 3290 with notes). On epigraphic evidence for Hadrian at Athens, see IG II² 5185 with notes.

The dedicator of this statue, Amphipolis, was located on the Strymon river in the province of Macedonia. No particular interactions between it and Hadrian are attested.
