Western line of defense

     A large area to the west of the Basilica on the hill was included into the territory of the city at the end of the 5th century AD. It was secured by a newly constructed defensive line and was consequently heavily built up. In addition to residential and commercial buildings, this section included the so-called Western basilica, which for a long time architecturally dominated the area.

     The new western defensive line cut across the largest necropolis of the first centuries AD. The necropolis covered the entire eastern slope down to Sandy Bay. The fortified wall protected the entrance into the city from the road approaching Chersonesos from neighboring agricultural areas.
