Despite its decline, Delos maintained some population in the early Roman Imperial period. Pausanias (8,33,2), writing in 2nd c. AD, states that Delos was uninhabited apart from a few custodians of the sanctuaries. Evidence has been found of Roman baths, coins, an aqueduct, residential and elite houses, as well as multiple churches, basilicas and a monastery all from the 1st - 6th centuries AD, which, however, does not suggest that the island was continuously inhabited in the period. The pottery found indicates that produce, like wine and oil, continued to be imported from regional centres. There are also a number of wine presses amidst the ruins of the ancient city that date to this period, suggesting that the population at this time was engaged in considerable viticultural endeavour.
