Temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus

Only foundations remain today of this important temple which was of the Doric order, with six columns on short sides and eleven on the long, an unusually short squat proportion. It was built c.375 B.C.; it's architect was Theodotos. The temple had pedimental sculpture: the Fall of Troy was on the front eastern pediment, and a Battle between Greeks and Amazons on the western. On roof apexes and corners were carved marble figures. These sculptures were regarded as being exceptionally fine at the time, being the work of master sculptors of the period. The originals are now unfortunately in Athens, with only casts in the small unimpressive site museum.

The temple had a gold and ivory cult statue of the god in the cella.
