Horreum (Epirus)

In 167 BC the Romans destroyed Orraon, but it was rebuilt shortly afterward.

Its inhabitants were forced to settle in Nicopolis which is located in the southwestern part of Greece.

[4] In Orraon “most of the houses are still standing two stories high and the street plan is still visible".

[6] By the way the streets run from an oblong town block, the insula, and fifteen meters wide.

The cistern was located in this area because it was the highest point of altitude in the city.

[10] After being built back Orraon did not last much longer because the inhabitants were forced to leave because Augustus had won the battle of Actium’s.

The remains include the stones, some door frames, and windows that were left of the old homes.
