PETALIDI, anc. Korone - 2010

Petalidi (anc. Korone). The ΛH’ ΕΠΚΑ reports the following discoveries.

At Loutro, 3.5km west of Petalidi, an extensive Roman complex (fig. 1) was found close to the Late Roman baths previously discovered. The area investigated extends along the shore and includes baths with hypocausts, furnaces for glass and metalworking with adjunct rooms, and a peribolos (fig. 2). Among the Roman buildings was a Classical structure preserved as a monument in later times.

On the acropolis of Petalidi, rescue excavation revealed baths with floor mosaics and the foundations of large Late Roman buildings (fig. 3). On another property on the acropolis, were the foundations of houses or workshops and a Roman cemetery (fig. 4). A damaged tomb contained very rich finds of the first century BC to first AD.
