The Antiquities of Athens is a 1762 London architectural survey by James Stuart, Nicholas Revett, William Newton and Willey Reveley, recording classical Greek buildings in Athens for architects and students. Its plates are measured drawings in fine line, showing columns, capitals, entablature mouldings, a domed ceiling section and a small temple doorway with a weathervane, giving designers precise classical ornament and proportion to draw on.
