Ptolemaic and Roman Eras
During the Greco-Roman period, the town flourished and became known as Eileithyiaspolis (Latin: Lucinae Civitas).This village may have thrived for a little while, but it seems that in 380 AD the city was demolished, either from military or political events. All that remains of the actual buildings are the lower parts of the walls of the houses, but luckily many of the artifacts that would have been inside the houses remained. Coins from the 1st-4th century AD were recovered, along with Greek demotic and ostraca.6

Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or eras:
“It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Some eras worship infancy; some, the aged. None as yet has adored middle age.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
