Description
Standing on the Acropolis, I am southwest to "The Monument of Philopappos," crowning the Mouseion Hill. I also zoomed in to get a closer look at what this was. That image can be viewed as well. I was really struck by the beauty of this lush, tree-laden hill. Truly a "Monument Nestled In The Trees."
It was erected by the Athenians in honor of the great benefactor of their city, the exiled prince of Commagene, Julius Antiochus Philopappos who settled in Athens, became a citizen and assumed civic and religious offices.
