The buildings at the Dodona Sanctuary show that it had a multi-faceted architectural program meant to serve various purposes: cultural or religious edifices were erected side by side with structures that were meant to house civic and political processes and gatherings, such as the Bouleuterion. This was where the representatives of the tribes of Epirus would gather to enact legislation and vote on decrees.

The structure was erected in the period between the late 4^th and the early 3^rd c. B.C. Its interior is clearly divided into a lower and an upper section: the first was where speakers would have stood, and the latter, an inclined chamber with a pillared roof and rows of edolia, was intended to cover and accommodate listeners.

In all likelihood the Bouleuterion also housed the offices of the officials tasked with running the games. Additionally, it would have hosted events during festivities but also over the course of everyday life. On the eastern side of the Bouleuterion, honorary bronze statues of generals once stood on bases inscribed with decrees. They remain as a testament to the growth and development of the Epirote League. Much can be drawn from these inscriptions: for example, one of the bronze statues represented Krison, a Molossian of the Kyestoi clan and possibly a strategos (a general) of the Epirote League. Furthermore, according to the inscription the sculptor’s name was Athenogenes, who hailed from Argos.
