The First Koinon Temple of Roman Sardis
An artificial terrace in the center of the city of Sardis in western Asia Minor formed a focus of urban life from the Early Imperial period until the early Byzantine era. Following the earthquake of 17 CE, the terrace became a major sanctuary of the imperial cult belonging to the koinon of Asia. The lavishly ornamented octastyle temple and broad range of honorific monuments attest the importance of the sanctuary for the first three centuries CE. …
Intestinal Parasitic Infection in the Eastern Roman Empire During the Imperial Period and Late Antiquity
While there have been numerous studies investigating intestinal parasitic infection in the Roman period, much of this work has been focused in northern Europe, with major gaps in the eastern empire. In order to further elucidate regional patterns in parasitic infection in the Roman empire, we looked for evidence for parasites in sites from Anatolia and the Balkans. Sediment samples from drains as well as coprolites were studied to find evidence f…

Household and City Organization at Olynthus
Olynthus, an ancient city in northern Greece, was preserved in an exceptionally complete state after its abrupt sacking by Phillip II of Macedon in 348 B.C., and excavations in the 1920s and 1930s uncovered more than a hundred houses and their contents. In this book Nicholas Cahill analyzes the results of the excavations to reconstruct the daily lives of the ancient Greeks, the organization of their public and domestic space, and the economic and…
The Sanctuary of Artemis at Sardis
Excavations in the Sanctuary of Artemis between 2002 and 2012 clarified problems of chronology and reconstruction. Evidence for occupation of this area in the Lydian period was ambiguous: pottery suggests that there was activity here, but no deposits were found. Surviving monuments from the Persian period include a calcareous tufa altar (LA 1) and a roughly square sandstone “basis.” In the Hellenistic period, a new temple was laid out with the sa…
New Archaic Coin Finds at Sardis
Two Archaic coins were discovered in excavations of the western fortification of Lydian Sardis in the summer of 2002. The coins, one gold and one silver, are Lydian 12th staters with the confronting foreparts of a lion and bull on the obverse and a square incuse punch on the reverse, the type of coins that are commonly referred to today as "croeseids." They come from under and around a cobbled pavement belonging to the fortification. The pavement…
Olynthos
History and Archaeology at Olynthus
This chapter explains a few problems that are relevant to the planning and urban history of Olynthus in the later fifth and fourth centuries. Few Classical archaeologists in 1930 would have persisted as long as Robinson did in excavating houses built of rough fieldstone and usually standing less than half a meter high. The site at Olynthus produced few of the rewards that have traditionally enticed Classical archaeologists. In his four seasons, R…
The Economies of Olynthus
This chapter discusses different strategies by which households acquired, stored, and used resources at Olynthus. The variety of economic strategies adopted at Olynthus and their spatial patterning within the city, as well as the linkages between economy and society and their expression in the physical organization of the city, are explored. Analysis of the architecture and contents of Olynthian houses reveals a number of patterns in economic beh…
The Houses Organized
This chapter focuses on the diversity among the Olynthian houses, in addition to what is normal in this city. Attempts to identify more restricted women's quarters in the architecture alone have been notably unsuccessful. Virtually none of the discussions of male and female space in Greek houses, however, deals in any depth with artifacts as evidence of how rooms were used, although many lament the absence of such data. A close look at the archit…
The Houses Described
This chapter examines thirteen of the better-preserved dwellings, including houses of regular and irregular plans, houses that seem to be primarily domestic in nature, and houses in which other activities—trade, small-scale industry, and the like—took place. The selection of houses was chosen to include examples of both regular and irregularly planned houses, houses with different sorts of artifact assemblages and facilities, houses where differe…

Olynthus and Greek Town Planning
Taş Kule
A unique freestanding tomb near Phokaia, known as Taş Kule, is presented here, and an attempt made to analyze its cultural background. Taş Kule does not belong to any of the normal Anatolian traditions in funerary architecture; rather, its unique form should be connected with Persian aristocrats and administrators living in Asia Minor, and with "Persianizing" local nobility. The funerary traditions of these aristocrats seem to differ from those o…
The Treasury at Persepolis
The Treasury at Persepolis is well documented in literary sources, and its careful excavation by Schmidt produced the most important collection of Achaemenid material yet found in Iran. This article examines the associated literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence in order to determine the functions of the Treasury, both within the building complex on the Persepolis Terrace and in the Achaemenid Empire as a whole. It is argued that the Tre…
