During the first generations of colonial life in Patras, the Roman influence was only faintly evident in grand public buildings and hardly at all evident in private ones. This was to change, however, in the Flavian period and in the 2nd century, when the colonial authorities undertook large and imposing building projects and the local elite asserted itself through the construction of sumptuous urban or rural residences and the erection of luxurious funerary monuments in imitation of those in necropolises in Rome. This urban reconstruction and decoration was dependent upon both the imitation of Roman forms and the attachment to Greek tradition. It involved a mixture of architectural or decorative styles which contributed, in its way, to the formation of a new collective identity, an inevitable synthesis resulting from the interaction with the natural and social environment on which it was based. This new identity, also apparent in other areas, meant that Patras ended up being neither a Greek nor a Roman town, but rather a mixture of the two in all aspects of its material and spiritual life.
