Synagogue in the agora of athens biblical reference
The Synagogue in the Agora of Athens is an ancient synagogue located in the Ancient Agora of Athens.
During an excavation in the summer of 1977, a piece of Pentelic marble apparently once part of a curvilinear frieze over a doorway or niche was discovered a few meters from the northeast corner of the Metroon. The marble fragment is incised with the images of a seven-branched Menorah and a Lulav, or palm branch. The synagogue is thought to date from the period between 267 and 396 CE.
