SUMMARY
At the eastern end of Embolos, exactly below the Panayir hill the monument of Memmius, grandson of the Roman dictator L. Cornelius Sulla, was erected during the third/fourth quarter of the 1st century BC. It is a tower-like structure of single architectural form, with two storeys and a pyramidal roof, standing on a high podium. It function was possibly funerary. During the mid Imperial era and late Antiquity the monument fell into disuse with the erection of other buildings such as the Hydreion both next to and above it. |
