Construction started in 449 BC, and some scholars believe the building not to have been completed for some three decades, funds and workers having been redirected towards the Parthenon. The western frieze was completed between 445-440 BC, while the eastern frieze, the western pediment and several changes in the building's interior are dated by these scholars to 435-430 BC, largely on stylistic grounds. It was only during the Peace of Nicias (421-415 BC) that the roof was completed and the cult images were installed. The temple was officially inaugurated in 416-415 BC.

The Parthenon – 447 BC - 432 BCA temple on the Athenian

Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the maiden goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens

considered their patron deity. After the Ottoman conquest, it

was turned into a mosque in the early 1460s. On 26 September 1687, an Ottoman ammunition dump inside the building was

ignited by Venetian bombardment. The resulting

explosion severely damaged the Parthenon and its sculptures.

DelphiApollo's sacred precinct in Delphi was a panhellenic sanctuary, where every four years, starting in 586 BC athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, one of the four panhellenic (or stephanitic) games, precursors of the Modern Olympics. The victors at Delphi were presented with a laurel crown (stephanos) which was ceremonially cut from a tree by a boy who re-enacted the slaying of the Python.

The Roman Forum is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the centre of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.

Trajan's Column (Italian: Colonna

Traiana) is a Roman triumphal column in

Rome, Italy, that commemorates Roman

emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It

was probably constructed under the

supervision of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus at the order of the Roman Senate. It is

located in Trajan's Forum, built near the

Quirinal Hill, north of the Roman Forum.

Completed in AD 113, the freestanding column

is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which

artistically describes the epic wars between the Romans and Dacians

(101–102 and 105–106). Its design has inspired

numerous victory columns, both ancient

and modern.
