• STATUE OF THE GOD APOLLO SOL,
  marble the beginning of the 3rd century Finding site: in the layer of ruins north of the spring pool (exploration in 2011)
  
  The statue represents a young god wearing a radiate crown. As the statue is leaning against a tripod around which a snake is coiled, which determines him as thegod of prophecy (Pythian Apollo), one can surmise that rituals connected with prophecy were enacted at the sanctuary by the thermal spring.
  
  A lyre, on which Apollo was leaning with a bent arm, was possibly wedged into the groove on the top of the tripod. His right arm was most probably extended, slightly apart from the body.
