Die Tetragonos Agora in Ephesos

Als im Jahr 1955 Franz Miltner im Zuge einer Begehung des Antikengeländes auf einen »aus dem Erdreich ragenden Stumpf einer Säule mit herzförmigem Querschnitt« stieß, war der Grundstein für die Entdeckung des politischen Zentrums von Ephesos gelegt. Bald erbrachten die hier gefundenen epigrafischen Zeugnisse den Nachweis dafür, in dem freigelegten Objekt den Kultkomplex für Hestia Boulaia zu erkennen und diesen mit dem Prytaneion der Stadt zu verbinden.

English summary: Terrace House 2 in Ephesos is one of the best-preserved ancient houses in the eastern Mediterranean. This large insula contains seven multi-storied peristyle type dwellings. The privileged status of the inhabitants is apparent due to the central location of Terrace House 2 on Curetes Street, a main thoroughfare and processional route in the city. The publication of Dwelling Unit 7 adheres to the publication concept of the Ephesian Terrace Houses and provides a detailed description of the architecture, the reconstruction of the building periods, the water supply and drainage, the marble decor of walls and floors, the wall paintings, stucco work, mosaics, sculpture, small finds, ceramic, glass and coin finds, as well as the analysis of the archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains. Also taken into consideration are the numerous graffiti on the wall paintings which provide direct insight into everyday life. Furthermore, the publication includes an analysis of the area's "pre-use" in the late Hellenistic period and of its "post-use" in the early Byzantine period.

English summary: Since the erection of the new protective roof of Terrace House 2 and its opening to tourists shortly afterwards, it has been one of the main attractions of antique Ephesos. Terrace House 2 is a big insula housing seven dwelling units built in the type of peristyle houses. The privileged status of the owners of Dwelling Unit 6 can already be hinted at the central location of the house and its entrance directly from Curetes Street, a main thoroughfare and processional way of the city. Fortunately, the home owner of Dwelling Unit 6, Gaius Flavius Furius Aptus, is known by inscriptions.
