Description
Euromos Ruins Black and White Photography is an original photograph of classical architecture and Roman ruins of the ancient Temple of Zeus. The city, located in the region known as Caria. During the reign of King Mausolus of Halicarnassus the city was subordinated to Milas and lost its independence. At the same time, its name was changed to Euromos (meaning 'Strong'). Sixteen columns are still standing today. Twelve of them have inscriptions indicating the donor who paid for their execution. Among the sponsors of the temple, the inscriptions mention a doctor named Menekrates, his daughter Tryphena, and a bureaucrat Leo Quintus. Stonemasons working on the construction of the temple left in several places their symbol - the so-called labrys or double blade ax. Perfect for those who admire historical and ancient architecture, historians or those who are planning a vacation to this heritage site.
