Treasuries in Olympia, Greece. Artist: Samuel Magal

Treasuries in Olympia, Greece. The term 'treasury' was first used in Classical times to describe the votive buildings erected to house gifts to the gods. In Ancient Greece treasuries were almost always physically incorporated within religious buildings such as temples, thus making state funds sacrosanct and adding moral constraints to the penal ones to those who would have access to these funds. Olympia, a sanctuary of ancient Greece, is probably best known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times.
