Temple of Zeus, Athens

Hadrian dedicated the Temple to Zeus (known to the Romans as Jupiter), the king of the gods. He erected a giant gold and ivory statue of Zeus in the cella and placed an equally large one of himself next to it. Nothing remains of these or anything else from the interior of the temple.
