Description
Mesosporitissa (Konstantinidi land). †M. Oikonomakou (Β’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the cleaning of the medieval tower near Mesosporitissa church. The tower contained many spolia: stones from funerary periboloi and houses, an olive press, and architectural members. An ionic capital and two column drums of the Athenian tropaion from the battle of Marathon were also recovered (Figs 1,2).Similar material, mostly from funerary periboloi, had also been assembled in the nearby military camp on Kato Souliou Street (Fig. 3).
