EPIDAURUS

Epidaurus was an ancient Greek city and port on the east coast of Argolis in the Peloponnesus, particularly celebrated for its magnificent temple of AEsculapius, which stood on an eminence not far from the town. It also had temples of Artemis, Dionysus, Aphrodite, and Hera, and a splendid theatre still in fair preservation. The site is now occupied by the village Epidavro, where a congress met in 1822 and promulgated the 'Constitution of Epidaurus.'
