No Abstract (EL)
The writer presents the data and conclusions from the excavation of thirty-one tombs, dating from the first to the fourth century, which were investigated in 1987 in the forecourt of Thessaloniki’s Ayios Dimitrios Hospital.Two of the tombs are discussed in detail. One of them is decorated with a painted imitation of marble revetment and is dated to AD 340-50 on the basis of a coin found amongst the building materials; the other was constructed at the same period and has a floor comprising sections of skillfully executed opus sedile and multicoloured marble tiles previously used in some other structure. The opus sedile may be dated to the second half of the third or the beginning of the fourth century. (EN)
