About Lavrio

Lavrion is a town in the southeastern part of Attica, Greece. It is the seat of the municipality of Lavreotiki. Laurium changed into well-known in classical antiquity for its silver mines, which changed into one of the chief resources of revenue of the Athenian country. The steel silver changed into in particular used for coinage. The Archaeological Museum of Lavrion shows an awful lot of the tale of those mines. It is a sea port of much less importance than Piraeus. The Athenians to dedicate the anticipated sales derived from a prime silver vein strike inside the mines of Laurion circa 483 BC to increasing the Athenian fleet to 200 triremes, and thus laid the muse of the Athenian naval electricity.

The mines, which were the property of the country, had been normally farmed out for a sure constant sum and a percentage on the working; slave labour was completely employed. As many as 20,000 slaves have been employed at the height of the mining. A silver mint Argyrocopeum became at Laurion. Laurium hosts the soccer membership Olympiacos Laurium, which performed inside the Gamma Ethniki within the beyond, and the basketball membership Lavrio B.C., which plays within the Basket League.
