They were generally placed in pairs at the entrances of temples, on each side of the propyla.
In keeping with the splendour of the temples on the summit of the Acropolis was the Propyla, or great entrance, already mentioned.
The great temple stands on the very summit of the Acropolis, elevated far above the Propyla and the surrounding edifices.
Already the incense was burning, already the cypress had been placed before the Propyla of the Palatine.
Just outside the Propyla was the small temple of Wingless Victory.
