Cipollino of Styra

The quarries of Karystian marble are located along the western coast of Euboea from Styra, at the north, down to Karystos in the southern part of the island. Marmor Carystium is unquestionably one of the most renowned and widespread marbles in Ancient Roman times and was quarried primarily to produce medium and large sized monolithic column shafts for several among the most important monumental complexes of Rome.
