Notes

Large complex building on the western hill of Apollonia, probably built between the V and the VI century AD. Its position and size, the presence of a chapel with a reliquary and some public rooms led Goodchild to identify it as the residence of the Dux. [Source: Reynolds]. Kenrick, site plan 17
