Abstract :Although the sacrificial tables standing in the courtyards of the Great Altar at Pergamon and Artemis Altars at Ephesos and Magnesia are dated to the Hellenistic period, some features observed in the anthemion decorations of these tables indicate that these tables might belong to the Augustan period. This paper examines the stylistic features of the anthemion decorations with other comparable materials dated to the Augustan period from other cities. Were the sacrificial tables of three big Hellenistic altars in Anatolia rebuilt during Augustan period? I will try to answer this question by examining the anthemion decorations of the sacrificial tables.
