Metropolis Excavations 2016

A glass production oven thought to be transformed from the furnaces, a part of the Bath where the pools were heated, was discovered in the Roman Bath during excavations continuing throughout 2016. Observing traces of glass production in other parts of the Bath hints that the Bath’s structure having lost its function could have been used as a Glass Production Atelier in the Early Byzantine Period. The location and proximity of the atelier points to the fact that the atelier was established under the control of the Church and was operated in order to meet the needs of the Church.

It also shows that a great number of ceramics, found in the Roman Bath and the sacred site of Zeus Krezimos and appearing to be produced in Ephesos, Knidos, Parion and Athens, were imported and used by the citizens of Metropolis.
