Hellenistic-Roman quarter
The Hellenistic-Roman quarter, frequented until the 15.000th century AD, has an extension of 20 square meters. The neighborhood is home to the remains of over XNUMX houses. The first houses date back to the Greek period (VI-V century BC) while the last ones are from the Roman period (III-IV century AD). The houses have been given a name based on the shapes, the frescoes and the objects found, some of these: Casa delle Afroditi; House of the Mosaic of the four seasons; House of the Peristyle; Casa del Maestro abstractionist (presents an abstract mosaic); Casa del Portico; Terracotta atrium house (due to the presence of a floor with red terracotta bricks); Two-story house; House of the Swastikas (due to the presence of unconate crosses inside), Casa della Gazella; House of the Dionysus and House of the Athlete
