## Image Caption

Artist's impression of a view across the [Agora](https://www.worldhistory.org/agora/) on an early summer evening, looking southeast towards the [Acropolis](https://www.worldhistory.org/Acropolis/). Trees and plants had been planted in the Agora from the time of [Cimon](https://www.worldhistory.org/cimon/) in the mid fifth century BC. Left of centre is the Altar of the Twelve Gods, while to the right, men gather beside the Royal Stoa. In the background can be seen the statue of [Zeus](https://www.worldhistory.org/zeus/) outside the stoa dedicated to him, as well as the South Stoa, the southeast fountain house, and the Mint.
