Abstract
The question of the operation or not of the quarries of Attica (especially that of Pentelikon) after the third century A.D. can be answered through the study of Late Antique buildings in Athens. This examination reveals the widespread use of spolia in the city’s building programs. The phenomenon is known throughout the Empire from the Tetrarchic period onwards, when the increase in building activity was assisted by the reuse of architectural material.
