Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is the analysis of three doublefaced cornices excavated in the main courtyard of the ‘Hellenistic’ House. The decorated blocks constitute a very rare example of architectural embellishment, the more so that they come from a circular structure. The aim of the paper is to present possible types of buildings the cornices originally might have been parts of.
