ANCIENT SIKYON - 2011

Sikyon. E. Østby (ASA) reports on a study of architectural members from the temple and altar excavated between 1928-1988 (Fig. 1). The temple had three construction phases, two Archaic (seventh and sixth century) and one Early Hellenistic. The Archaic altar was renovated in the Hellenistic period. A round base in the temple sekos probably supported a large tripod: this is taken to support the identification of building with the temple of Apollo noted by Pausanias (2.7.8-9).
