|
The prytaneion is located on the north side of the state agora of Ephesus next to the odeum. It consisted of a peristyle courtyard to the north of which two non-communicating sets of rooms were arranged. Archaeological research in the area has identified four building phases, the preserved remains, however, date from the Augustan period (1st century BC). |
