For us it was the last, since we walked the site in reverse. The Tetrapylon consisted of four rows of four columns (tetra = four and pylon = gateway in Greek). Built in the second century AD, It was extensively repaired and re-erected in 1990. Tetrapylon Pediment597 viewsThe pediment was decorated with relief figures of Eros and Nike hunting among the acanthus leaves. 62 files on 6 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 7cb1be728c71e84abafc3ba6cdb40d02 [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 17 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.35 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.27 ms) [2] => SELECT session_id FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '67f619a9a5513f63d4c6843891d3a3ef' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.72 ms) [3] => INSERT INTO `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions (session_id, time) VALUES ('67f619a9a5513f63d4c6843891d3a3ef', 1773617878) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (2.02 ms) [4] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.41 ms) [5] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.21 ms) [6] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.28 ms) [7] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.26 ms) [8] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.64 ms) [9] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-03-15 23:37:58' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.64 ms) [10] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.145' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (2.48 ms) [11] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.64 ms) [12] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 17 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.64 ms) [13] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.36 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '17' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.67 ms) [15] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '17' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.41 ms) [16] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 17 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.54 ms) [17] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='17' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.21 ms) [18] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 17 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 14 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (2.72 ms) [19] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.45 ms) [20] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 17 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (0.58 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 17 [page] => 4 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI3Y2IxYmU3MjhjNzFlODRhYmFmYzNiYTZjZGI0MGQwMiI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
