I was in Athens so I decided to visit the oldest street in Europe, ΤΡΙΠΟΔΩΝ, and boy was I disappointed!
The street is called "Tripodon", or "Τριπόδων" in Greek. The uppercase letters on the sign, "ΤΡΙΠΟΔΩΝ" look very different, but that's just because I don't understand Greek.
The tripods along it were apparently trophies for performances at the theatre. I read on one site that the tripods were bronze and on another that they were copper. I went with bronze in the script because it sounds nicer, and bronze is made of copper anyway.
This street was a big deal apparently, and lots of famous people would walk along it to the theatre, which is why we know about it from ancient times. Here's some more reading for you:
