PIRAEUS - 88 Soteirou Dios St. - 2008

Piraeus, 88 Soteirou Dios St. (property of G. Rozaki). K. Axioti (ΚΣΤ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a retaining wall on the west foot of Mounichia hill. Due to the steepness of the hill, houses were constructed on it on different levels supported by retaining walls. The excavated wall dates in the Classical period (Fig 1). A floor and a cistern were excavated from the lower level delimited by the wall. 4 bronze Athenian coins dated in 339 B.C. were found in the fill of this house. Finally, part of another floor was excavated from the upper level created by the retaining wall.
