Greece_Kos_Asklepion_009.jpg
A first level trace retaining wall niche which may have contained the statute of Roman Emperor Nero. All niches were once occupied by statues. This image was captured at the Asklepieion, the sanctuary of Asklepios, the Greek god of medicine and healing and son of Apollo. It lays 3.5 kilometers north-west of Kos Town and stands on the slopes of a low hill and enjoys a superb view over the sea and the coast of Asia Minor (Turkey) opposite
