Teave

Kiired faktid: Villatootmine tegi selle linna antiikajal tohutult rikkaks, kuna kohalikke lambaid hinnati nende sügavlilla-musta villa pärast. Võimas maavärin hävitas linna 7. sajandil, jättes selle varemed matma 10 meetri paksuse alluviaalse sette alla.

Esiletõstmised: Erinevalt oma ülevoolavatest naabritest Hierapolisest ja Laodikeast on see paik peaaegu täielikult välja kaevamata, mis tähendab, et terve Rooma linn lebab magades põllumeeste põldude all. Kõndides üle rohuga kaetud künka, tunned sa sõna otseses mõttes tänavate ja hoonete kontuure jalge all, puutumata arheoloogide poolt enam kui 1300 aastat.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • Wear sturdy walking shoes, the uneven terrain of the unexcavated tell (mound) is covered with loose stones and animal burrows.
  • Visit after rain when the wet earth reveals pottery shards and tile fragments pushed to the surface, but never remove any artifacts.
  • Stop at the Denizli Archaeology Museum afterward to see the few artifacts recovered from here, including coins and inscriptions.
  • Bring binoculars to spot the faint outlines of the ancient theater and city walls visible in the contours of the wheat fields.
