1. Title: A Glimpse into Ancient Miletus: A Detailed Model of the City Centre from the 3rd Century AD, Housed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin This detail from the Model of Miletus, housed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, offers a fascinating glimpse into the layout and architectural grandeur of the ancient Greek city of Miletus in Anatolia during the Hellenistic age. Created by K. Stephanowitz in 1968, this intricately crafted model is a meticulous copy of the original plan by H. Schleif, which dates back to the 20th century. The model, set in the 200 AD era, showcases the city's bustling centre, featuring key structures such as the Agora, Bouleuterion, Delphinion, and the Nymphaeum. The Agora, the heart of civic life, is depicted with various buildings, including a house with a portico, while the Bouleuterion, the council house, stands proudly with its imposing facade. The Delphinion, a sanctuary dedicated to the cult of Apollo Delphinios, is represented by a small, intricately detailed temple. The model also includes the city's harbor and port, with ships docked at the quay, reflecting Miletus's strategic location on the Aegean Sea. The cardboard and plaster construction boasts impressive details, such as the intricate design of the lions guarding the city gate and the ornate decorations on the buildings. The Model of Miletus is an invaluable historical resource, providing scholars and visitors with a tangible connection to the ancient world and shedding light on the urban planning and architectural achievements of the Hellenistic period in Anatolia. This detailed image invites us to explore the rich history of Miletus and the vibrant culture that thrived in this ancient city.
