Abstract
The fifth-century BC South Stoa at the Argive Heraion was first excavated in the 1890s and was published in 1902 by E. Tilton. It was subsequently re-examined by J. J. Coulton, who clarified important aspects of the stoa's design. Ongoing investigations of the architecture of the Argive Heraion have now brought to light new evidence for the building which requires modification of the previous restorations of the roof. A series of slotted wall blocks assigned to the back wall of the building indicate that the stoa had a large shed roof instead of the saddle roof restored by Tilton and Coulton. This article presents the case for a new reconstruction of the roof and explains the appropriateness of the roof design to the specific conditions of the building site.
