Plenary Session 9.00

The district of modern Antalya includes the ancient regions of Pamphylia, Lycia, and Pisidia – though the latter two regions only partially. The conference starts with a short account of the prehistory of Pamphylia, where Karain stands out as a significant center. This is followed by a summary of the historical background from ca. tenth century B.C. to A.D. fifth century.  

The focus is on the archaeological aspects of four major cities in Pamphylia. Involving Attaleia, the predecessor of Antalya, the recently excavated necropolis, a monumental tomb, and the gate of Hadrian will be mentioned. At Perge the prehistoric remains from the acropolis, the urban development to the end of the Roman era, and important buildings such as the city walls, south gate, colonnaded street, baths, market place, fountain houses, theater, stadium, and necropolis are dealt with concisely. Side is known as the most important harbor in Pamphylia and boasts of similar civic buildings, which will be viewed in comparison with those at Perge. Aspendos is treated particularly in relation to the celebrated theater.
