Houses

 

 

The system of terrace building with connecting roads and ramps, is typical for the Hellenistic urbanism and includes a large peristyle house (the house of two peristyles), with two courtyards and colonnades, two floors, an upper gallery, entrance at the lower level and shops and stores side by side.

 

From the early Roman Empire dates the House of the two colonnades on the terrace located next to the east ,which includes a tank for water and several rooms around an open area, poorly preserved, while to the south -east exists a complex building with two floors of residential character with at the bottom level a sequence of service compartments (workshops, warehouses)all made in the I-II century A.D. and also abandoned in late antiquity. Remains of good quality production have been found. Findings are sufficient to attest the presence of urban workshops of good sculptors that used marbles of foreign origin between the third century B.C. and at least the first part of the roman period.
