View looking at a sacred shrine that was cut into the eastern stands of the Herodian circus at Caesarea Maritima. The niches of the shrine were built into the wall.
A Greek inscription was found here that reads “Merismos [the] charioteer” along with four marble human–shaped right feet. These items were probably dedicated by victors of contests that had been held in the circus.
