GERMANICO IVLIOTII AVGUSTINCAESARI

More of Buthrint...if you like history...:)

 

In 44 BC, at the end of the conflict between Pompey and Caesar, Caesar declared Butrint a colony, and it remained a Roman port through the 6th century AD. A large edifice known as the Triconch Palace was first built during the 4th century AD. During the 5th century AD, the emperor Justinian built a large cathedral and a baptistry with exquisite mosaic flooring at the site.
