Sicilian Expedition - Agrigentum (continued)

We continued our time at Agrigentum with a visit to the temple ridge where we saw a host of Doric Temples (5). Sakura! Or at least the Italian equivalent. Here are our professors. From left to right: Scott Smith, Dora Venarucci (not actually a professor but a grad student instructor), Chris Gregg, and Adam Serfass.
Here are some students standing inside part of the substructure of the temple of Zeus Olympios. The structure, although never completed, would have been gigantic. It would have spanned an area larger than a football field.
This is what remains of a votive pit. Is Molly a votive?
Here I am peering out of a modern statue.
