Homarium

Greece

The Homarium, Homagyrium or Amarion (Ἀ) was the common sanctuary of the Achaean League, built c. 371 BC at Aegium. It was so named as it was dedicated to Zeus Amarios (Ἀ) or Homarios (Ὁ) or Homagyrios (Ὁ) (Latinized as Homarius and Homagyrius, the exact meaning of the epithets is uncertain, but probably "god of the assembly, he who unites"), and was used, according to Polybius, for meetings and debates on Achaean lines. Strabo describes it as a grove, near a temple of Demeter Panachaia.
