View from the Gateway1 viewsView of the Hellenistic Gate as seen through the opening of the Roman Gate. The Hellenistic Gate1 viewsAfter entering through the Roman Gate, one comes to the Hellenistic gate, which dates back to the 3rd century BC. I don't know why the Romans thought the city needed another gate, especially because the Hellenistic Gate is the most imposing building of the city and was a formidable bulwark, far better suited to protect the city with its twin towers and its horseshoe-shaped courtyard at the back. The towers had three floors and were crowned by a conical roof. Hellenistic Gate1 viewsAnother view of the imposing Hellenistic Gate. Courtyard at Hellenistic Gate2 viewsThe horseshoe-shaped courtyard at the back of the Hellenistic Gate was redesigned in 121 AD by Plancia Magna, daughter of the governor and priestess of Artemis, who decorated it with inscripitions and statues to honor the emperors and their relatives. Keep Clear the Ancienty City4 viewsAnother fun example of what happens when you fail to get a native speaker to proofread your signs. Tile4 viewsI don't know what this tile was originally part of - perhaps it's a fallen ceiling tile. Gate and Acropolis3 viewsIn the background, behind the Hellenistic Gate, looms the Acropolis of Perge. Reportedly most of the remains there date from the Byzantine period. Basilica3 viewsNext to the Hellenistic Gate is a Christian basilica, built in the 6th century AD. Heart of Ancient Perge2 viewsAn overview of the Hellenistic Gate, Roman Baths, and Agora. Roman Baths5 viewsA section of the Roman Baths near the city gates. Baths and Propylaeum2 viewsThe Propylaeum was a wrestling school or gymnasium. See the description on the placard in the next picture. 39 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => e6f2d71512cf5bedfc0912731a287acd [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.2 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.16 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:357] (0.2 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.17 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.14 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.15 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.18 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2024-05-14 09:59:29' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.57 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('3.136.83.214' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.27 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.14 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 28 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.31 ms) [11] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2943] (0.14 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '28' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.15 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '28' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.17 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 28 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.16 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='28' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.14 ms) [16] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 28 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (0.72 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.16 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 28 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
