On the top of Filopappou Hill is the elaborate marble mausoleum dedicated to the Roman statesman, Gaius Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philopappos built in the 2nd-century CE.
Philopappos’ sister, Julia, an Athenian citizen, erected the mausoleum and monument following his death in 116 CE.
Standing in front of the monument, you will see that it has two levels, each decorated with a frieze celebrating the life of Philopappos.
