Aerial view of Marmaria at Delphi, looking southwest. The drawing is in landscape format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
This is the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia. From left to right, a first temple or priest’s house, a tholos, two “treasuries” and finally the temple of Athena can be seen in the middle of the countryside.
