Is it one of the many temples of Agrigento.

[Ioannis]

Garni temple, Armenia

[D B Campbell]

What and where?

At the risk of having to dig out another photo, ... it's the Temple at Garni in Armenia, which is virtually unheard-of in the west. Wiki says it was a Temple of Mithra(s), which I find rather unlikely! :dizzy: What do you think?

Edit: While I was pondering, Ioannis got there first! Well done, Ioannis.

[Ioannis]

I think I got that first! :-)

[Vindex]

Wow! That's impressive. Never even heard of it before now. :oops:

No, Brian. Agrigento isn't located on the territory of the former USSR. :wink:

It seems to be the traditional point of view. I would need to check out the sources to see what are the arguments supporting that view.

Garni temple, Armenia

Over to you, Ioannis.

Is it on the Chersonesus? Seems like Kerch to me.

Mycenean bridge near Mykene? (Arkadiko)

[Ioannis]

That's correct Christian! The floor is yours.

Sometimes we are lucky and colors are preserved on ancient monuments. Like in this nice case. Where is it from, what time, and where is it now?

Well, it's a Relief, depicts somewhere Eastern or African, and Green. That narrows it down.

Is that a Sheep?

[caiusbeerquitius]

Sheep, yes.
