Topography of Ancient Olympia
 

Nymphaion

In 150 AD, Herodes Atticus built the Nymphaion in honor of his spouse Regilla. The monument was built in the sanctuary of Altis, in the northeast corner of the Heraion. It consisted of two buildings and served mainly as an aqueduct. A rectangular tank lay in front of the building with a semicircular tank behind it, which was surrounded by a two-storey platform. The platform included eleven niches that accommodated the statues of the family of Antonine, of Herodes and of his spouse. A marble bull with a votive inscription of Regilla stood between the two tanks.
