<p>Griechenland, Greece - Insel Rhodos, Rhodos-Stadt, Süleyman Moschee.<br />

Das Gebäude ist rosa verputzt. Der Platz, an dem die Moschee steht, ist ebenfalls nach Süleyman I. benannt. t. Der Grundriss der Moschee ist quadratisch und wird von zehn Kuppeln überdacht.<br />
 Die meisten verwendeten Baumaterialien stammten von Gebäuden aus früherer Zeit.</p>

<p>Σε κεντρικό σημείο του χωριού Μέρωνας στην Κρήτη, δεσπόζει ο επιβλητικός  δίκλιτος Ναός του Αγίου Παντελεήμονα . Χτισμένος το 1862 ξεχωρίζει για το εντυπωσιακό του καμπαναριό χτισμένο από μία ειδική πέτρα της περιοχής, την “αμυγδαλόπτερα”, γνωστή για την σκληρή της σύνθεση. Το καμπαναριό χτίστηκε εξ’ολοκλήρου από Μερωνιανούς μάστορες και ολοκληρώθηκε κατά το έτος 1908.<br />

In a central location of the village of Meronas in Crete, stands the imposing two-aisled Church of Agios Panteleimonas. Built in 1862, it stands out for its impressive bell tower built from a special stone of the region, known for its hard composition. The bell tower was built entirely by Meronian craftsmen and was completed in 1908.</p>

<p>Bronze statuette of one of the Dioscuri, probably Castor, the horse-tamer. The hole in his cap probably held a star (as one of the Gemini). He's clearly modeled on portraits of Alexander the Great, given the dramatic flowing hair. <br />
<br />
One of a collection of bronze statuettes in the British Museum known as the Paramythia bronzes, named after the place of their discovery near Paramythia, Epirus, Greece, in 1792. In fact, the statuettes were probably discovered nearby at Photike. The statuettes depict various deities including a Roman <i>lar</i> (protective household god) figure, and therefore they presumably once belonged to a <i>lararium</i> (a Roman household shrine). It is likely that the bronze statuettes originated in a Roman villa situated in or near the ancient Roman colony of Photike, which is located a short distance from Paramythia. The bronze hoard provides valuable evidence for the presence of Roman settlers in Epirus and, more importantly, informs us about Roman domestic cult activities in the province of Achaea. Additionally, the bronzes may be interpreted as symbols that served to project and reinforce the cultural and ethnic identity of the Roman householder. The hoard of statuettes had probably been buried for safekeeping prior to the Herulian invasion of Greece (then under Roman rule) in 267 CE.<br />

Roman, ca. 150 BCE (museum date, but they could be a later manufacture), found at the Roman colony of Photike, near Epirus, Greece. <br />
