Abstract
A Roman milestone was uncovered 50 m to the northwest of the Byzantine estate buildings. It is a segment of a marble column, roughly cut at one end and broken at the other. The milestone segment bears two lapidary Latin inscriptions: one from the time of Elagabalus (218–222 CE), the other from the reign of Diocletian (284–305 CE).
