VERSIONS AND CONCESSIONS > LIBRARY OF PANTAINOS
Apparently, the representation of this building is straightforward, as we posses its general plan and a large part of its building material, though it was incorporated in the Late Roman defensive wall. Insofar as, however, its excavation has not been completed, conclusions as to its final form remain, in part, provisional. Its internal layout, however, remains almost completely uncertain. A single phase is represented, the Roman. Its peculiar design and the perspective in which the Roman Agora is represented necessitated the digital reconstruction of a section from the stoa, which lies in front of the street connecting the library with the buildings of the Roman Agora [Thompson, H.A. – Wycherley, R., The Agora of Athens. The American Excavations in the Athenian Agora, vol. XIV, American School of Classical Studies at Athens (Princeton 1972), pp. 114-116].
