Messene was an ancient Greek city which was built by Epaminondas in 369 B.C. The authors surveyed a Hellenistic tomb called Grave Monument III on its Stadion area in 1998 and 1999. This monument had a unique roof in concave conical form and unusually located on main street in the city wall. This field research gave numerical and visual information for the studies of reconstruction and architectural technique. In this paper, the authors describe its architectural remains as were excavated, and show briefly the results of the study.
