Patras, Roitika, Ch. Maritsi Street (Property of A. Balaoura and D. Rodopoulou) - 2008

Patras, Roitika, Ch. Maritsi Street (Property of A. Balaoura and D. Rodopoulou). Anastasia Koumousi (6th ΕΒΑ) reports on the excavation of a storage facility (Fig. 1) belonging to a farmstead. The building is located just 100 m. from an Early Christian basilica excavated in the 1980s. Based on the abundant pottery and the masonry, it has been suggested by the excavator that the building was in use during the 5th and 6th centuries AD, but was probably destroyed during the earthquake of 551/552 AD.
