Abstract

In 2010, excavation work concentrated on the area east of the domus of the North-East Church between Cardo 3 North and Cardo 4 North. This area may be the remains of a palatial home of a prominent citizen of the city. If our hypothesis holds true, the house would be some 375 m2 plus a garden to the north.1 In addition to the architecture revealed in 2010, small finds raise interesting questions about the use of the area and about the religious life of the community in the Byzantine period. This report will detail work done in three areas and the potential implications of the discoveries:

  • A southerly room/cubiculum of the residence
  • A peristyle court
  • A northerly court/garden
  • Conservation efforts
  • Conclusions
