An image illustrating the evolution of the Athenian Acropolis (a fortified citadel and state sanctuary of the goddess Athena) and the city of Athens as it emerged from the devastation and ruin of the Greco-Persian Wars of the 5th century BCE through the grand ambition of Pericles and successive generations of leaders and visionaries until the Hellenistic and Roman times, when the city became a "theater of memory" linking the "glory days" of ancient Athens with the emerging new powers of the world.
