During the Imperial period, the site of the Bishop’s Palace was occupied by public buildings, probably tied to the functions of the Bouleuterion and North Agora. "It was most likely used in the Late Roman period as a high-status residence with strong representative character, possibly belonging to an elite family, a high-ranking official, or an important figure connected with provincial administration 1."
