Herodes son of Samos and his family. About a funerary inscription reused in the northern basilica at the site of Hagios Vassileios (Thasos). Among the significant finds at the site of Hagios Vassileios, to the west of the ancient city of Thasos, is the base of an ambon which belongs to northern most paleochristian basilica brought to light in this area. In an older phase, the block belonged to an inscribed funerary monument : five names, among which three are male and two female, were engraved on its main face. All these names appear in other Thasian inscriptions of Roman times : they belong to an important local family, in which the names Herodes son of Samos and Samos son of Herodes seem to have alternated from generation to generation. The confrontation of these documents allows a reconstruction of the stemma of the family as well as the study of its integration into the upper class of Thasian society.
