GREECE PELOPONNESE ARGOLIS TIRYNS TOMBS

Above: In the chamber two burial pits were found which, however, did not contain any Mycenaean grave goods or ceramics. They may have been emptied in Roman times. - Below: In Roman times the tholos was used as an olive press, the remains of which can still be seen today.

Below: The second tholos tomb of Tiryns lies hidden between the citrus trees only 50 m Southwest of the first one and is practically unknown to visitors. It was apparently discovered already in 1914. The Ephorate of Antiquities carried out a partial excavation in the 1980s. During my visits in 2018 and 2019 the dromos was so overgrown that it was impossible to enter.
