Within the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaea, to the west of the Athena temples and side to side with the Doric Treasury, was erected a treasury with a vestibule and cella [1]. It had two columns on the facade, decorated with Aeolic capitals, which are generally considered as the precursors to the Corinthian capitals [1]. The building measures 6.14 x 8.63 meters, it dates to ca 510 BC [1]. Its elevation was built of Parian marble [1]. Its height was about 7.8 meters [1]. One at least of its pediments bore sculpted decoration consisting of a chariot dragged by four horses [1].
