Annotations

The remains of Christian sanctuary are a few hundred meters from the Filosofiana baths. It was a three-nave basilica with prothyron, and funerary crypt with two cellas in the S aisle. The basilica was surrounded by a cemetery. People were buried equipped with ordinary unpainted striated ware, lamps with Christian symbols, gold rings and earrings.
