THE PORTICOES

A colonnade composed of 16 marble columns with Corinthian capitals (6 among the columns have been found at their initial position) and fragments of the relevant parallel wall constitutes the north wing of the whole Porticoes, which surrounded the big square. It was constructed in the late 2^nd century A.D. or in the early 3^rd century A.D. It was destroyed in the mid 4^th century A.D. and was abandoned for several years to be replaced in the early 5^th century by various early Christian buildings.
