Cnidian Treasury
Archaic period and by a late Classical period building, called "Lesche
", a kind of club for social gatherings.
Description
The remains of the Treasury of the Cnidians are situated just next to the Sacred Way close to the Siphnian Treasury to which they bear resemblance, to the exception of the smaller size.
It was a marble building, erected before Cnidus was conquered by the
Pythian Apollo. Apart from the main inscription, its walls and antae bear about sixty more inscriptions,[2] mostly honorary decrees and manumission acts
, as well as two decrees of a fiscal character, quite enlightening on the finances of the time.
