Nemrut 2006 09 1519.jpg

The west terrace has features similar to the east terrace, with the same series of five statues between the two lion-eagle pairs, but does not have an altar. The statues here are more damaged, but the heads are in better condition.
The orthostats bordering the terrace repeat the dual genealogy of Antiochos I, the Persian branch on the south, the Macedonian on the west.
