Abstract :
In Naxos, news excavations revealed the existence of two different types of roofs: one of the Sicilian type with antefixes and the other Corinthian. The first relates to the most ancient phase dating back to the end of the 6th century BC and the first decades of the following century; the other from the second half of the fifth century BC. For the Sicilian-type roof, the findings made in trench 3 in the area of the neoria or naval arsenal of ancient Naxos are of particular importance.
