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:
“The Roman rule was, to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing. The old English rule was, “All summer in the field, and all winter in the study.” And it seems as if a man should learn to plant, or to fish, or to hunt, that he might secure his subsistence at all events, and not be painful to his friends and fellow men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Some eras worship infancy; some, the aged. None as yet has adored middle age.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
