Cyrene. Libya. Lining the sacred way for 130 metres are the remains of the enormous Stoa of Hermes and Heracles. In Romans times the stoa provided covered access from the Forum to the Agora. It was a roofed gallery, with a central row of columns and windows flanked by busts of Hermes and Heracles on the street frontage.
