A French «Elgin» in Thessaloniki or new evidence of the history of Thessaloniki during the last century
Abstract
The author uses as his source, the book of the French archaeologist Emm. Miller, Le mont Athos, Vatopedi. L’île de Thassos, Paris 1889, p. 336-366, to collect various scattered evidence related to the stealing of the «Jncantadas » or «Είδωλα», a beautiful ancient monument placed at the site of the ancient agoia of Thessaloniki. This evidence is assembled in a small separate story. Miller, beside giving other aichaeological and historical information, mentions a newly built theatre, which the author identifies as the beautiful neoclassicistic theatre of the White Tower, which was taken down short after World War II.
