Three architraves found in the tomb of Amphipolis

The road that leads to the excavation site has been closed by police forces

Newsroom September 10 01:31

Three architrave fragments of the Ionic order, with traces of blue and red color were found in the tomb of Amphipolis, according to information from the Ministry of Culture.

Based on the same information, the chamber behind the Caryatids which were unearthed during the weekend features a marble revetment, i.e. an ornamental paneling that clads the walls of the room, which was considered a sign of great wealth.

Earlier on Wednesday, Northern Greece media reported that, during excavations, two inscriptions were found in the tomb of Amphipolis, which were then transferred to the Museum of Amphipolis to read.
