Most viewed - Aphrodisias, 3/26/2006

Bas-relief474 viewsOne of the extensive collection of sculptures on display at Aphrodisias.

The Headless Roman474 viewsSince he doesn't have a head, I can't tell who this is a statue of - most likely guess would be Octavian.

The Stadium at Aphrodisias474 viewsOne can imagine Ben-Hur and Messala duking it out in chariot races here.

The Amphitheater at Aphrodisias470 viewsThe theater was built in the late first century BC under the patronage of Gaius Julius Zoilus, a native of Aphrodisias who had become a slave of Julius Caesar but was freed by his heir Octavian. Returning to his birthplace a wealthy man, Zoilus initiated a vast building program, of which the Amphitheater was one of the first fruits.

Sebasteion - Temple of Augustus468 viewsMembers of our tour group check out the Sebasteion.

Roman Lamps466 viewsCandellariae, in various interesting shapes. I especially liked the one in the shape of a foot.

Pottery Bowl457 viewsFrom the Aphrodisias Museum collection.

Stone Heads449 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.

VIP Boxes439 viewsSome things never change - the ancients had their VIP boxes at sporting events too. Note Elouise Mattox exploring the stadium entrance at bottom.

Sandie strolling by the Sebasteion436 viewsThe Sebasteion was jointly dedicated to Augustus and the goddess Aphrodite. The Emperor Augustus, as nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, was a member of the Julian family, which claimed descent from the goddess Venus, the Roman name for Aphrodite.

Aphrodisias Rest Rooms435 viewsClean and beautifully decordated.

Kenan Erim's Last Resting Place431 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.
