Description
‘Chapel’ of Dionysos. J.-C. Moretti and M. Fincker (EfA/CNRS) report on a study of the erroneously-termed ‘Chapel’ of Dionysos (cat. 81 in the Guide de Délos), a monument infamous for the restoration on each side of a base bearing a phallus. Examination of the physical remains and inscriptions associated with the monument lead to its identification as an altar of a type derived from the altar in antis. This was dedicated to Dionysos in the first decades of independence (more precisely, ca. 280 BC) (Fig. 1).
