Product details

Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, Athens


Built to celebrate a victory in the dramatic festivals of ancient Athens, the Monument of Lysicrates is one of the most significant surviving structures of the ancient world. It represents the first known use of the Corinthian order on the exterior of a building, making it one of the most influential classical architectural monuments ever conceived. Its circular colonnade of six Corinthian columns, elaborate entablature and extraordinary crowning finial have inspired architects, garden designers and classical scholars for centuries.

From the garden follies of English country houses to the neoclassical monuments of Edinburgh's Calton Hill, the legacy of Lysicrates is woven throughout the classical architectural tradition. This is where it began.

Rising to a height of 10.52 metres, this ancient Greek monument has an extraordinary history of survival. It endured the centuries in part through its integration into a Capuchin monastery built in 1669, where the monks purportedly used it as a library. Today it stands near the Acropolis in Athens, as compelling and precise in its architectural detail as the day it was completed.

This highly detailed architectural sculpture captures the complete monument from its stepped podium base to its celebrated crowning finial. Every Corinthian capital, every column flute, the elaborate frieze depicting Dionysus transforming Tyrrhenian pirates into dolphins, and every decorative element resolved with the accuracy and understanding.

Produced from primary archival drawings, each piece is entirely accurate in proportion and rich in architectural detail, even at miniature scales. This model is available in white, grey or black, in four scales to suit a range of display, collecting and scenic applications including 28mm wargaming terrain, OO gauge and HO gauge railway scenic buildings, and architectural gift and display pieces.
