Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Remains of the Library of Pantainus in Athens. In the background, the Stoa of Attalus. The library is located at the archaeological site of the Ancient Agora. From the information board near the ruinsː "According to its inscribed marble lintel block the library was dedicated to Athena Archegetis, the emperor Trajan, and the Athenian people in the years around 100 A.D. by Titus Flavius Pantainus who describes himself as a priest of the philosophical muses as well as the son of the head of a philosophical school. the library rules, much as they would be today, are preserved in another inscription found in the buildingː 'No book is to be taken out since we have sworn an oath. The library is to be open from the first hour to the sixth.'" The library was destroyed by the Heruli in the 3rd century A.D. It was partially rebuilt, however, in the 5th century A.D. |
