Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Arch of Hadrian in Athens. 131-132 A.D.jpg |
English: In 131-132 A.D., a triumphal arch known as Hadrian’s Gate, was erected by the Athenians northwest of the Olympieion precinct in honor of the emperor Hadrian for his many public works in Athens. It was built on the road linking the city with the Ilissian sanctuaries, marking the boundary between the old and the new city.
The monument, 18 m high, 13,50 m wide, had two facades with the same features and was divided vertically into two distinct parts. The lower one recalled the roman form of an honorary arch, while the upper one was related to the traditional Greek propylon. There were two inscriptions on the architrave above the archway: On the west side: THIS IS ATHENS THE ANCIENT CITY OF THESEUS. On the east side: THIS IS THE CITY OF HADRIAN AND NOT OF THESEUS. In 1778 the triumphal arch was incorporated into the eastern section of the Turkish fortification, known as “Haseki’s Wall”, at which time it was converted into a gate, called the Vasilopoula’s Gate” or “Kamaroporta”.
