Homarium

The Homarium was the common sanctuary of the Achaean League, built c. 371 BC at Aegium. While it was dedicated to Zeus Homarius or Homergyrius (the exact meaning of the name being uncertain, but probably "who unites"), the sanctuary was, according to Polybius, used for meetings and debates on Achaean lines. Strabo describes it as a grove, near a temple of Demeter Panchaea.
