This monument was built in 114-116 A.D on a hill southwest of the Acropolis
in honor of Philopappos, an exiled prince of Commagene
who settled in Athens, became a citizen, assumed civic and religious offices
and became a great benefactor of the city.
When in Athens,
you can easily walk to the monument at the top of the hill
and enjoy a spectacular view of the Acropolis and the city around.
