Ialysos

This guide to Ialysos in Rhodes opens in 1868, when British vice consul Alfred Biliotti opened chamber tombs on this hill and found painted pottery unlike anything scholars had catalogued, later shipped to the British Museum via the collector John Ruskin. You'll hear how Biliotti dated his find, and why his own notes told a different story than the age he settled on. Climb toward the ruined temple of Athena Polias above the tombs that started it all.
