Voilà le texte de la plaque explicative si cela sert à certain et si Google le traduit dans votre langue. THE PHILIPPEION Its construction began by Philip Il after his victory in the battle of Chaironeia 338 B.C. and was dedicated to Zeus. After Philip's death it was completed by his son, Alexander the Great. It is the only circular building in the Altis and it is encircled by a collonade. The outer columns of lonic order with bases in the Attic lonic style supported an lonic entablature of shell-limestone, while in the interior, attached to the wall stood nine Corinthian semicolumns and in the middle, opposite the entrance a semicircular pedestal. The top of the roof, which was laid with clay-tiles ended in a bronze poppy, which held the beams together. Philippeion was a heroon built in order to glorify the Macedonian dynasty, of which five chryselephantine statues were set up in. the interior, crafted by the famous sculptor Leochares.

Philippeion is the only circular structure and the only one dedicated to the people in the sacred area, ALTIS. It is a memorial erected by Philip II, King of Macedonia in honor of the victory at Chaeronea, 338 BC, and completed by his son, Alexander the Great.

L'edificio fu costruito per volere di Filippo II di Macedonia per celebrare la vittoria macedone nella battaglia di Cheronea del 338 a.C. e fu probabilmente terminato da Alessandro Magno nel 336 a.C. La tholos doveva rappresentare il monumento dinastico degli Argeadi e ospitava al suo interno statue criselefantine dello stesso Filippo, di suo padre, Aminta, di sua madre Euridice, di sua moglie Olimpiade e di suo figlio Alessandro Magno, opere dello scultore Leocare

Το Φιλιππείο στην Αρχαία Ολυμπία είναι ένα εξαιρετικό μνημείο που συνδυάζει αρχιτεκτονική και ιστορική σημασία. Πρόκειται για έναν κυκλικό ναό, ο οποίος κατασκευάστηκε από τον βασιλιά Φίλιππο Β' της Μακεδονίας προς τιμήν της νίκης του στη Μάχη της Χαιρώνειας το 338 π.Χ., όπου εδραιώθηκε η μακεδονική κυριαρχία στην Ελλάδα. Το έργο ολοκληρώθηκε από τον γιο του, Μέγα Αλέξανδρο.
