GreeceThe Stoa of Eumenes was a Hellenistic colonnade built on the south slope of the Acropolis in Athens, situated between the Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus [1]. Constructed around 160 BC, the gallery was donated to Athens by Eumenes II, king of Pergamon (197-159 BC) [1]. Vitruvius documented that such stoai near theatres served as shelters for spectators during inclement weather and as storage for theatre props [1].
