In view of there being a facility for tourists planned on
this spot within the future Archaeological Park of Paphos, a
trench was opened south of HA and east of VT. It was located
exactly in the comer of the port street running from the Paphos
harbour to the main entrance of VT and the Roman street running
along the eastern faqade of the villa. The trench provided
information about the width of the port street which was 9.70 m
at this point. At about 1 m below the present surface of the
ground a Hellenistic level was recorded. No clear picture of
constructions on the southern side of the street was obtained
except for two parallel walls of Roman date (presumably 2***
century A.D.) running latitudinally. There was also a largely
destroyed longitudinal wall lying at the east edge of the Roman
street. The pottery and a coin discovered near the foundations
gave a date in the 1" century A.D. for the construction of these
structures.
Inside the Villa of Theseus excavations were concentrated
in the baths and in the eastern portico. In the baths room 61,
probably a fgpiJanMW, was cleared at the western edge of the
heated part of the baths. It was the third in a row of rooms of
