Description

Yoros Castle is from the Eastern Roman period on the ridges of Anadolu Kavagi in Istanbul. The word "Urius" in the title of the engraving comes from the adjective "suitable winds (ourios)" of Zeus (known as Jupiter in Rome).The Yoros Castle in the engraving was also named after this ourios title of Zeus. Archaeologists believe that the Zeus Temple existed in the ruins under the castle or that the castle was built with the ruins of the Temple of Zeus.
