It is now a wastespot and contains only the ruins of the structureswhich formerly ornamented it. The valley is warm,rather low and not well supplied with water; it doesnot seem to have been very well situated for a healthresort. Still, Epidauros remained for six hundredyears the most famous of the temples of the god. Thesacred grove in which the temple of Aesculapius wasplaced was called the Hieron. In this grove therewere three principal structures; the Temple, theTholos, or rotunda, and the Abaton, or the grove was the theatre (Fig. 16). The temple was built between 375 and 380 B.
