Type: Treasury
Summary: Treasury building attributed to the Sybarites.
Date: 570 B.C. - 550 B.C.
Period: Archaic
Plan:
The remains of the naos are the end wall to the west and the long walls to a maximum
height of four courses. There is no trace of a pronaos or a wall between pronaos
and naos. Reconstruction remains largely hypothetical.
History:
The erection of the treasury has been attributed to the Sybarites, and its incompleteness
to the destruction of their city.
Other Notes:
Of thirty-eight metopes belonging to the treasury, three are illegible.
