Tomb of Judgement, Lefkadia

The Tomb of Judgement, also known as the Great Tomb of Lefkadia, is an ancient Macedonian tomb of the Hellenistic period in Mieza (modern Lefkadia, near Naousa, Imathia), noted for its monumental painted facade [1]. It was probably built at the beginning of the third century BC [1]. The tomb consists of two vaulted chambers: an antechamber and a burial chamber and a disproportionately large monumental facade [1]. The structure was covered by an earthen tumulus, which was 1.5 m high and had a diameter of about 10 m; it was removed during excavation [1]. The facade is 8.68 m wide and 8.6 m high [1]. The tomb was discovered during road construction in 1954 and excavated by Photis Petsas from 1954 to 1964 [1].
