Most viewed - Aphrodisias, 3/26/2006

Stage Building518 viewsThe amphitheater's stage building originally consisted of 3 stories, only one of which has been restored.

The Amphitheater at Aphrodisias517 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.

Bas-relief515 viewsOne of the extensive collection of sculptures on display at Aphrodisias.

Poppy Close-Up515 viewsSandie's Canon Powershot did a good job of capturing this poppy close-up.

The Portico of Tiberius513 viewsBegun in the reign of Tiberius, for whom it was named, the Portico includes a large pool, 175 m long, 25 m wide and 1 m deep.

VIP Boxes510 viewsSome things never change - the ancients had their VIP boxes at sporting events too. Note Elouise Mattox exploring the stadium entrance at bottom.

Roman Lamps502 viewsCandellariae, in various interesting shapes. I especially liked the one in the shape of a foot.

Pottery Bowl498 viewsFrom the Aphrodisias Museum collection.

Stone Heads489 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.

Aphrodisias Rest Rooms474 viewsClean and beautifully decordated.

A Corner of the Sebasteion473 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.

Kenan Erim's Last Resting Place465 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.
