PIRAEUS - 18 Skouze and Leosthenous Streets - 2006

Piraeus, 18 Skouze and Leosthenous Streets (property of Lapithos Co.). Kornelia Axioti (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of part of a Roman (second- to third-century AD) house in the foundations of a listed modern building (opposite a plot excavated in 1981). Parts of three adjacent rooms were revealed, built of re-used blocks from a Classical house. The western room was paved with terracotta tiles and had a terracotta drain running through it. A few walls and a drain belong to the courtyard of another, Late Roman house.
