“…Until now two aspects have been proposed: The first aspect correlates these volcanic rocks with a subduction zone (Panagos et al 1979, Pe-Piper & Kotopouli 1981, Skarpelis 1982, Gerolymatos 1994, Dornsiepen & Manutsoglu 1996. The second one correlates them with a drifting of a continental terrain away from the former Gondwana continent (Thiebault 1982, Thiebault et al 1985.…”

The Archangelos volcano-sedimentary formation is described here. It outcrops at the base of the alpine Archangelos unit of Rhodes island and displays sedimentary and lithological characteristics, which allow its correlation with the Upper Paleozoic - Upper Triassic Tyros-beds, known from the base Gavrovo-Tripolis unit in Peloponnesus, Kythira and Crete. Consequently Archangelos unit is correlated with the Gavrovo-Tripolis unit. Moreover it is suggested that Tyros-beds characterize the base of the external carbonate platform of Hellenides all along the southern Hellenic Arc, from Peloponnesus through Kythira and Crete to Rhodes Island.

The Romans, like the Egyptians and much more than the Greeks, used polychrome stones for decorative purposes in architectural elements, floor and wall facings and statuary. Throughout their Mediterranean provinces they systematically searched for and exploited a very large number of beautiful lithotypes, many of which they distributed to all corners of their empire. The most important of these stones were often re-used later in medieval-to-modern times; some of them are still offered on the market. They include granitoid rocks (granites, granodiorites/tonalities, gabbros, quartz-monzonites), a few lavas, many metamorphites (impure marbles, metabreccias and metandesites) and several sedimentary rocks (limestones, lumachellas, conglomerates, calcareous alabasters/travertines). The 40 most important and widespread of these lithotypes are considered here as regards their origin, the history of their use and their minero-petrographic characteristics, which can contribute to better knowledge of single species, to determination of the original quarries and to archaeometric solutions of several provenance problems.
