Aegina.
The prosperity of the city of Aegina (1) in the Early Christian
period is attested to by the ruins of the Jewish synagogue with
its mosaic floor (3rd-5th c.) at the Karantina site, the basilica be-
low Panagitsa (5th c.), which preserves a former mosaic floor,
the baptistery at Aiginitou Street (5th c.), also with mosaic floor,
the basilica of Vardia at Aphaias Street (6th c.), and part of an
Early Christian cemetery. The Kolona settlement, fortified since
the 3rd c., was deserted in the 6th c. but was later reinhabited,
until the 9th c., with cottage industry the key activity. In this final
phase a provincial mass-produced pottery workshop operated.
Early Christian sculptures in secondary use are still detected
