Roman Propylon
During the Roman period, the city experienced a new prosperity phase. It was taken advantage of the free city regime and the significant improvement of the road network for the transfer of goods. The Egnatia Street shunned the beach and passed north of Mount Ismaros. The access was possible through some passages.
Ruins of buildings from this period, we find at the port of Agios Charalambos, 4-5 km south of the town of Maronia. At the entrance towards the Roman Forum, a monumental propylon from local marble is preserved, which was erected in honor of the Emperor Hadrian (124-125 AD). A characteristic element of the monument is the triple arched openings arranged in two rows.
