"Augustus once had planned to collect funds for the completion of the temple, which he intended to dedicate to himself (Suetonius, Life of Augustus, LX), but nothing seems to have come of the scheme. The Olympieion would be finished by Hadrian, who had ordered work to begin during his first visit to Athens in AD 124-125 and dedicated the temple in AD 131-132 during his last visit, more than six centuries after construction first had begun." — James Grout, Encyclopaedia Romana |
