Philippeion

Philippeion was located inside the Altis, south of the Prytaneion and west of Heraion. This was a vault that was dedicated by Philip II of Macedonia in memory of his victory in Chaeronea, in 338 BC. The circular building was surrounded by a colonnade of eighteen columns of Ionic order while the wall was surrounded by eight semi-columns of Corinthian order. Five chryselephantine statues of the famous sculptor Leochares stood on a semicircular base which depicted Philip's family: his parents, Amyntas and Eurydice, himself, his wife Olympias and their son Alexander.
