Shqipëria e lashtë, Gjurmime arkeologjike, Luigi M. Ugolini

It would be inappropriate to consider Apollonia the Pompeii of Albania, given the sheer richness of the archaeological heritage concentrated there. An important economic and cultural centre, continuously, over a thousand years, it was gradually abandoned during the Middle Ages.

Për periudhën e hershme e dimë se Apollonia kishte një sistem të tillë ku pakica e lirë e popullsisë sundonte mbi shumicën jo të lirë. Megjithatë Aristoteli e konsideron këtë qeverisje si demokraci.

The cistern continued in use until the Byzantine period. Public baths were erected west of it, taking advantage of its water The structure of the baths is rectangular and measures 24.50x6.40 meters. It has a number of rooms, of which the following can be made out: the dressing room, cold water baths, warm room, sweat bath, hot room and oven and fire room.

Do të nisim një udhëtim nëpër kështjellat e lashta iliro-shqiptar dhe do të njihemi me ngjarje nga të tëra periudhat historike. Kështjellat tona janë të shumta, e gjenden në të katër anët e vendit. Por ç’janë kështjellat? Si ndërtoheshin?
