Historical Context

About

Panamara (Ancient Greek: Πανάμαρα) was a prominent religious centre in ancient Caria. It was the centre of worship for the local god Zeus Panamaros. It was governed by a koinon (a 'federation' or 'collective') called Panamareis (Παναμαρεῖς), which was subsumed into the polis ('city-state') of Stratonicea in the Hellenistic period.
