PATRAS - 2005

Patras, 47 Pantokratoras Street (property of Th. Mazaraki). A. Koumousi (6th EBA) reports the discovery of a two-roomed Byzantine building beneath an extensive destruction layer. Its walls were built of stones of various sizes, tiles, and spolia including worked blocks, sections of stylobate and arched lintels, parts of statues, a Latin inscription, and a small marble chancel column of Middle Byzantine date. Pottery and coins indicate that the building remained in use until the end of the 14^th century. It was founded on the walls of an Early Christian structure from which a bronze probe and a number of tegulae mammatae were recovered.

Investigated of the underlying Roman remains was pursued by the ΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ. G. Alexopoulou reports the discovery of a Late Roman wall, with to the east of it a stretch of Roman road with a gravel surface and a covered water channel.
