A brief history of Pachoras from the 5th to the 7th centuries

Abstract

The development of Pachoras, an important town in mid-5th century AD Nobadia, was broken violently by a flood at the beginning of the second half of the 6th century. The settlement and enclosure were devastated and abandoned until the close of the 6th century when the Cathedral of Aetios was built on a 5-m-high dune, engulfing the interior of the enclosure.
