Convert HTML to PDF

The ruins of Basilica II were excavated on the town’s north-eastern edge, a short distance to the northeast of Basilica I. It is a three nave basilica with a narthex and an almost semicircular conch to the east. The interior of the church was decorated with marble revetments ; the floor of the nave was laid with marble, while that in the side aisles and narthex was decorated with mosaics . The basilica also had a four-sided atrium to the west, with three rectangular chambers intended for religious use incorporated in the north side. Construction work on the church dates to the second quarter of the sixth century, while the rooms to the north of the church were built shortly after, in the third quarter.
