ANATOLIAN CIVILIZATIONS:10x19 antik kentler 8/1/11 10:51 AM Sayfa<br />

The year 311 BC saw its reconstruction <strong>and</strong> subsequently, the temple<br />

received great contribution from the Seleucids, who also had its<br />

dimensions enlarged.<br />

apparently was dedicated to the imperial cult-worship. Miletos' North<br />

Agora was built in Classical times <strong>and</strong> enlarged during both the Hellenistic<br />

<strong>and</strong> Roman Periods when it was still in use. Adjacent to this agora is a small<br />

marketplace that is encircled by shops. Before the agora is a processional<br />

road that measures 100 m. in length <strong>and</strong> 28 m. in width. On either side of<br />

it were pedestrian pavements 5.75 m. wide. Running along the<br />

processional road is a stoa of shops in the Ionic order. The gymnasion was<br />

built in the 2 nd century BC <strong>and</strong> has a propylon <strong>and</strong> palaestra with five<br />

training rooms. Next to this are the reign of Claudius (AD 41-54). The<br />

ruins of the baths (not shown in the plan) built partly on the northern<br />

end of the stoa <strong>and</strong> partly along the road are of Seljuk origin.<br />
