Description
Nikopolis, Early Christian fortification. F. Kephallonitou (Director, 8th EBA) reports on excavation on the outer west side of the central gate (Arapoporta), up to the southwest corner. The three orthogonal towers and the stretches of wall between them were uncovered up to the base of the wall. It is noted that differing tower dimensions, plan, and organisation of defence indicate that the west and south parts of the wall belong to different construction phases. Extensive conservation work was undertaken on the south part of the wall (Figs 1-3).
