Description
Thespiai. B. Slapšak (Netherlands Institute/Ljubljana) reports on the continuing survey of Thespiai as part of the Ancient Cities of Boeotia Project.
In 2008, geophysical prospection and the plotting of scattered blocks and architectural members continued. Some blocks of the Hel city wall were found in situ in the NW sector. An important section of the mud-brick acropolis wall was recorded on the SW slope, 5.5m h. and 3.3m w. at its top. Of the 29 inscriptions recorded by the team, 2 are of particular interest: one provides the first attestation at Thespiai of the office of the pentekistologoi; a second is a bilingual building inscription of Domitian, possibly dated to 86 AD.
