But it is certain, that it was made to decorate an important building of the time. It is possible that it was intended for Rome, since the Romans had a high regard for the Thassian marble. It has been found that in the early Christian times, the marble of Alyki was exported to Greece (Thessaloniki, Aegina), Asia Minor (Pergamon, Sardis, Efesos), Italy (Ostia, Rome, Akouliia) and Syria (Antioch).
