Description
Rhodes (anc. Rhodos). E. Terezaki (13th EBA) and P. Triandafyllides (ΚΒ΄ ΕΠΚΑ) report on the lifting and conservation of LRom mosaic pavements found in rescue excavation on the Karagianni plot, close to the military harbour and dockyards in the NE part of the anc. city. Here building remains of the 4th Ct BC−7th Ct AD included 2 LRom houses, the northernmost of which dates to the 4th Ct AD with reuse in the 6th−7th Ct AD.
Around the courtyard in the W part of this house were remains of pavements in opus tesselatum and opus vermiculatum, of which 2, S and E of the court, were well preserved. The S pavement, preserved undamaged, must have belonged to a central room: it depicts a central image of Eros within a geometric design. The 2nd pavement, found in the E passageway of the courtyard, had 3 pictorial zones, but was damaged by ECh intrusion. Both date to the 4th Ct AD.
