Primus Pilus Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Archaeologists have discovered extensive remains of what is believed to be an ancient marketplace with shops and a religious center at the southern edge of Athens, the Culture Ministry said Friday. The finds, in the coastal neighborhood of Voula, date from the 4th or 5th century B.C. "It is a very large complex," the ministry said. "It was a site of rich financial and religious activity, which was most probably a marketplace."... Washington Post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
