Building on theoretical frameworks and concepts from the so-called ‘New Mobilities Paradigm’, this paper investigates freestanding exedrae as stages of gathering in ancient Greek sanctuaries. In the Epidauros Asklepieion, one of the most important destinations of pilgrimage in the Greek world, 18 such exedrae were constructed from the fourth century BC onwards. Providing seating for small groups and adorned with honorific statuary, the exedrae were used for a variety of different gatherings and mobile situations, in some cases remaining in use across several hundred years, even by the same families. Concepts–including that of ‘mobile situations’–developed by the urban theorist Ole B. Jensen shed light on the functions of the exedrae and the material footprint of gatherings in Greek sanctuaries more broadly
