One would be that after the Herulian sack the upper walls were so badly damaged that it proved easier to cut down the floor level rather than rebuild the walls (cf. refurbishing of the Metroon). Another possible explanation is that the room was quarried for clean bedrock fill (perhaps by the builders of the Late Roman Building to the east), with the resultant filling of the room with destruction debris from Alaric's attack on the city, perhaps taken from the same area where the bedrock fill was to be used (cf. east, in Room 1 and the south half of Room 2. |

Fill VI: mixed to Byzantine ... For perhaps two centuries thereafter the well must have been out of regular use; cont. 4 (ca. 21.30m.) probably dates from this period and contains predominantly pre-herulian wares: wheel-ridged mugs and pitchers, type XXVII lamp frag. ... One coin (iv/9/37 #1) of Constantine II (323-361 A.D.) suggests a late 4th cent. date for this destruction fill. The top 1.50m. of fill contained mixed sherds with some Byzantine. |

The course of Athenian construction and destruction is traced from the mid-3rd century, through the Herulian invasion, to the period of recovery in the 3rd and 4th centuries (ending with the invasion of the Visigoth, Alaric, in A.D. 396). ... These fine wares, like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A.D. discussed here, were all imported—a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center, and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters’ workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B.C. |
