VARI - 2006

Vari, Hypates and Mousson Streets (Papadopoulou property). Maria Kassimi-Souttou (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of four rooms (each 2.25 x 1.5m) from a domestic complex which continues onto the adjacent plot to the north. To the southwest lay four entrances and a courtyard. The building’s size, masonry, thresholds and floors indicate that it was lavish. Finds from the complex comprise pyramidal spindle whorls, bosses, pottery (some black-glazed), a lead weight, lead clamps, seven bronze coins, lamp, a lump of lapis lazuli, and a gold hair ring decorated with snakes. A wine press (0.87m in diameter) was also found.
