9 Stop 9 of 12 on Athens in One Morning

The Arch of Hadrian

Acropolis, Athens

A Preview

"The tall marble gateway standing by itself beside the avenue is the Arch of Hadrian. It's a gate with no wall, with nothing on either side of it but traffic and air. Above the opening, on both faces, a line of Greek letters runs across the stone. Those two lines are the reason to stop, because this arch argues with itself. Hadrian was the Roman emperor in the early hundreds A.D."
