Reconstruction of a Façade of the House of Aion, Nea Paphos, Cyprus

A reconstruction of the façade of the House of Aion in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, reveals a cantilevered blind arcade with five spans, each featuring engaged columns supporting arches and shallow niches. This architectural design, inferred from excavated fragments including an arch, lintel, and consoles, draws parallels to similar structures such as the Porta Aurea at Diocletian's Palace in Split and the western façade of the Felix Romuliana Palace in Gamzigrad. The reconstruction provides insight into the decorative and structural sophistication of Roman architecture in Cyprus during the 1st century AD.
