In honour of Zeus

Statue of a bull which stood at the centre of the nymphaeum at Olympia

with an inscription indicating it was dedicated to Zeus by Annia Regilla.

Herodes Atticus belonged to a wealthy Athenian family and he married

Annia Regilla who belonged to an even wealthier Roman family.

In addition to the nymphaeum at Olympia, Herodes Atticus built a

large odeon at Athens,
in honour of his wife Annia Regilla in 161A.C.

The couple spent most of their time in Greece including Olympia where

Annia Regilla was given a position of priestess.
