The Tholos (Skias) in the Greek Agora of Athens, Greece. Artist: Samuel Magal

The Tholos (Skias) in the Greek Agora of Athens, Greece. At the southwest side of the agora in Athens, and as part of the Bouleuterion complex, stood the Tholos, a round temple, eighteen metres in diameter, which served as the seat of the Prytaneis of Athens. It was built around 470 BC by Cimon, to serve as a dining hall for the boule (members of the senate).
