Historical background


ELIS - ACHAEAN LEAGUE - OLYMPIA

(2nd century BC)

The site of Olympia was in the territory of the city of Elis. Zeus was worshiped in the sanctuary. A chryselephantine statue of the god, sculpted by Phidias, decorated the temple dedicated to him. It is possible that the coinage was inspired by the gigantic ivory and gold statue of the god.
