Comments: |
Quadrangular dedication, in the shape of an altar mounted by an Ionic column-base. It derives probably from the sanctuary of Artemis Kolainis at Myrrhinous. It is a dedication and catalogue of a private association of worshippers of Artemis Kolainis (officials and members). Servia was the ‘mother’ of the association. |
