Report
22-24 Amalias Avenue (property of the Hellenic Parliament). T. Kokkoliou (Γ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on excavation at a site where previous investigation had brought to light a Roman bath. A wall was revealed (3.6m long, maximum width 1.3m) of stones and parallel layers of bricks, with both faces coated in hydraulic cement. The outer, southern, face of the wall had brick masonry in zones. The entrance to an underground passage for the praefurnia was found to the west of the wall, while to the north, part of a floor of terracotta tiles was preserved with piers of the hypocaust built of round tiles. A continuation of this bath is preserved beneath the Russian church.
