ATHENS - KALLISPERI - 2010

Athens, Kallisperi 21. Niki Sakka (Γ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a 4^th – 5^th c. A.D. apsidal building (Figs. 1, 2). The building has a prodomos and a floor decorated in the opus sectile technique. It is highly likely that this building belongs to the large, public, 4^th c.

A.D.) had been used in the construction of the building’s east wall.

A tile-built pithos was excavated east of the building. Finds from the area include a fragment for a 5^th c. A.D. inscription which reads:

The excavation was conducted by the author of this report, T. Michalakopoulou and Eug. Tsalkou.
