Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you.

Original Narrative: Most of the travellers who have visited the place describe only the north altar, because it has a large and imposing house upon it. The south altar, which is really the most important of the two, but being less imposing, is generally overlooked. It is here that the emperor celebrates at the winter solstice, and I understand that this is the most solemn of all the religious rites he has to perform. Anyone coming upon the altar by accident, and trying to guess its purpose, would say it was most probably erected for a band of music to perform upon. It is of marble, circular in form, and composed of three terraces; the terraces are successively 220 feet, 105 feet, and 59 feet in diameter; the height of the whole is 25 feet 2 inches. There are stairs on four sides, facing each of the cardinal points. When the emperor celebrates, a canopy is erected over the centre of the circular space on the top. There are five small moveable altars; they look like diminutive pillars, and forcibly bring to mind the five termini on the tomb of Alyattes. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
