architecture presents rather the characteristics of
the Roman than of the Macedonian period; hut,
so far as. we can judge from the very few extant
examples which remain to us, it seems probable
that, in the first century after the death of Alex-
ander the Great, Greek architecture underwent a
rapid decline. This we see from comparing the
Doric stoa erected by Philip V. of Macedon at
Delos with the earlier and purer examples of the
same order at Athens and elsewhere."

A little to the east of the Doric portico is a
platform on which are the ruins of a Byzantine
monastery, called Hagia Marina (Plate XLVIIL).
This, from its central position, was considered by
Captain Spratt to be the site of the Mausoleum;
