This heroon is generally named ""Northwestern heroon". So there may be one or more others. Indeed the text in the Burdur museum has "In Augustan times (25 BC – 14 AD), the terraces to the north of the Upper Agora were transformed into a kind of sacred zone, commemorating heroes who had played a predominant role in the city’s history. Between 1994 and 1997 the best preserved of these commemorative monuments, the Northwest Heroon, was excavated. The monument, which is 14,73 m. high, is composed of a plain podium, a socle decorated with a frieze of dancing girls and a temple-like naiskos (aedicule on a base). The latter housed a nearly 4 meters high marble statue of an unknown local “heros”.
