| Σύνοψη: | During the Nabataean period, along the main street of the city center various clusters of shops were built, using the rules of vernacular architecture. During the early second century C. E., these were enlarged and acquired a wide portico which considerably narrowed the early street, while the street itself was paved with dense stone cobbles. At least one shop was used as a tavern. The use of the shops continued during the Byzantine period, with more structures built inside the south colonnaded sidewalk. In addition to the examination of the architectural details, this paper discusses aspects of town planning during the evolution of the street and the expansion of the city center to the east. |
