Ex voto of the Attalids, Delphi

The Ex voto of the Attalids at Delphi consists of monuments erected by the Attalid kings of Pergamon in the sanctuary of Apollo during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC[1]. These Hellenistic rulers positioned their dedications at the highest point of the Sacred Way, directly adjacent to the Temple of Apollo[1]. The Attalids, who ruled from their capital at Pergamon in modern-day Turkey, used these votive offerings to demonstrate their piety and political importance[1]. The location at Delphi made these ex votos particularly significant displays of royal devotion to Apollo[1].
