Baker-Penoyre, Mr John ff. |
| Scope and Content | The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Mistra: bridge". |
| Notes | Date based on the earliest excavations at Artemis Orthia in 1907 which Baker Penoyre visited. Numerous images of Baker-Penoyre's of Sparta or the Mistra region appear grouped with these and are listed in the 1908 JHS slide accession list. The bridge was repaired in 1869 according to the plaque embedded in the bridge and later, after 1923, the arch was demolished and a modern road put over (Aivalis, P. 2006, Mystras Tazidi sto Xrono. Athens. pp. 164-5). |
