House of Proclus known also as House Chi, was erected at the end of the IVth or at the beginning of the Vth century1. It was only partially excavated and re-buried under the Dionysiou Areopagitou Street.
`House of Proclus` consists of a large main hall with a semicircular apse with three semicircular and four half hexagonic niches probably for sculptures, surrounded by smaller rooms. The floor of the hall was paved with mosaics in geometric patterns.
Two ancient votive reliefs were found in one East small room. There are also a relief base used as an altar for offerings or as a statue holder.
The ancient written sources all the findings allows to identify this building as the house of the philosopher Proclus, Director of the Neoplatonic School and important figure of ancient Athens. After Justinian’s edict pagans schools were abandoned and closed.
