Description

Matches SW22aa. The block features simple fascia and a a cyma across its south face. Considering the type of moulding that is preserved, it is probable that this block once served as either a door or window frame, or a statue base likely deriving from the Civil Basilica.

The block sits on top of a much larger, grey orthostate block, which is probably either a reused piece or was one part of the original paving of the area.

Full measurements and description unavailable due to current state of excavation.
