Athens Sights - Hadrian's Arch

Hadrian's arch was built to honor the Emperor Hadrian and likely to celebrate the consecration of the Temple of Olympian Zeus by which it stands.

Ostensibly the arch separated the original classical section of Athens from the new construction inaugurated by Hadrian of the Roman quarter, although these boundaries are hard to define.

There is an inscription to this effect on the arch itself comparing Hadrian's Athens to the Athens of Theseus, the cities legendary founder.
