Document Summary
The limits of the kerameikos and the archaic walls of athens. During the archaic age, there were already walls in athens. 4th c. boundary stones (horoi) show that the kerameikos extended both outside and inside the classical city walls, almost to the agora. In the roman period, there are sources, including pausanias, who call the agora the. Remember, the tholos tomb replaced building f in the agora. Fountain house, altar of the twelve gods are found in the agora in the 4 c. bce. The eridanos river was outside the city walls. Not all scholars agree with this suggestion. Rather flee to the ends of the earth leaving your houses and the high peaks of the circular city. But first (mardonius) burnt athens, and utterly overthrew and demolished all walls, houses, and temples still left standing : when describing the persian conqeust.
