Shops - Apollonia
Shops are aligned along the main street, which were excavated by the French Archaeological Mission of Leo Rey on the site between 1924 and 1938. Length: 52m, width: 5m. The construction of this site was made in several periods, the last of which dates back to the period of great development of this city during II and III Century A.D. Shop traces discovered on the opposite side of the street proves the existence of a symmetrical wing. The edge lines of this structure are yet to be excavated: while on the west and north the street makes for the edge; on the south and east excavations have been insufficient to allow to know the extension of the whole. Primers and brickwork rows of blocks indicate the existence of partitions. Leo Rey accepted the presence of a second floor, but there are no traces of stairs. There are visible four well preserved thresholds which distinguish the grooves that guide the doors. Such well preserved examples of identical thresholds are found in the cities of that period in Pompeii and Ostia, allowing, by comparison, to identify these areas as a set of shops.
