Gaius Julius Zoilus215 viewsPerhaps captured by pirates, Zoilus was sold to Julius Caesar. Upon Caesar's assassination, Zoilus was passed to his heir Octavian, who eventually freed him. Zoilus returned to his native city a wealthy man, and became a leading citizen, initiating an expansive building program.

Dizzying Heights213 viewsI climbed to the top row of seating to take this picture.

Pottery Bowl210 viewsFrom the Aphrodisias Museum collection.

The Stadium at Aphrodisias209 viewsOne of the largest and best-preserved structures of its kind, the Stadium seated 30,000 people.

South Agora208 viewsLooking toward the South Agora and the Baths of Hadrian; the Amphitheater is off to the right.

Orchestra and Stage208 viewsThe Amphitheater was a venue for major spectacles, such as gladiatorial combats.

Bas-relief207 viewsOne of the extensive collection of sculptures on display at Aphrodisias.

A Corner of the Sebasteion199 viewsPart of the building program of Zoilus, this was a temple dedicated to the first Roman Emperor, Augustus - who, of course, also happened to be Zoilus' benefactor. Sebasteios is the Greek form of the Latin name Augustus.

Stage Building198 viewsThe amphitheater's stage building originally consisted of 3 stories, only one of which has been restored.

Agora, Sebasteion and Village of Geyre197 viewsThe village of Geyre, relocated 2 km to the west after excavations began in 1966, is seen in the background.

Stone Heads192 viewsI was tempted to purloin one of these to put on the Headless Roman in the museum. I think I would have chosen the rightmost one in the lower row.

Kenan Erim's Last Resting Place189 viewsKenan Erim was a Turkish-born professor at New York University who was largely responsible for the excavation of the ancient city of Aphrodisias, which he supervised from 1961 to his death in 1990.
