Summary

[edit]
Description

The so-called “Tomb of the Palmettes”, was discovered by chance in the winter of 1971 by antiquities thieves. It was originally covered by an earth tumulus at least 2.5 meters high and 15-17 meters in diameter. There was no dromos leading to the tomb, and the present staircase is a modern structure, designed to facilitate the access. The facade is in the Ionic order with four Ionic half—columns. The entrance to the interior or the tomb was a simple opening sealed by six courses of pores blocks. The facade is 6.25 m. high, 5.25 m. wide, and is higher than the roof.
