Description
To the west of the theater, the most important sanctuary of ancient Maronia was discovered, which dates back to the late 4th century BC. The excavation revealed a large rectangular construction with a vestibule, a main temple and ancillary areas. The sanctuary was identified thanks to an inscription, but also thanks to a clay mask of god, which was found there and today is displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Komotini.

It doesn’t matter. Maybe a mistake was made with the identification of the location.
He is the god Dionysus, appearing bearded and with a wreath of leaves and fruit on his head. He is found as a motif with his symbols on the coins and the pottery of the city, because of his traditional and widespread worship.
