Ruins of the Nemeseion (temple of Nemesis) at Rhamnous, Attica. Greece. Mid-5th c. BCE.

The temple of Nemesis was built sometime in the mid- 5h c. BCE, but other archaeological finds in the area denote worship of Nemesis as early as the 6th c. BCE. It exhibits the typical divisions of a cella, pronaos, and an opisthodromos in antis. Visible in this photos are the temple's column fragments with the incomplete flutes (only visible at the bottom), which mean that the temple was probably never completed.
