Abstract
After the Herulian invasion (267 CE) Athens was transformed just like other Greek cities were at that time. The analysis of the Athenian building activity shows that from the late 3rd to the 4th century an inner, reduced wall was constructed, ancient public buildings were abandoned or dismantled, workshops were installed in ancient public places, while the city’s core was transferred from the west to the east, to the area of the nowadays Greek Parliament and the National Garden.
