Except for a few examples, the typical burial sites were located in extramural burial areas outside the Hellenistic city-walls. Sanitary precautions and fear of defilement readily explain this law. So, no matter from what direction an ancient traveler arrived in Ephesus, he had to pass a cemetery. Although no longer visible today the relationship between tombs and city appeared to be heterogeneous: On the one hand they were packed tightly around inhabited areas, on the other hand they were located on uninhabited slopes. The common denominator is their location in heavily frequented areas or next to major traffic

The prominent tombs of this time may at first sight simply reflect a traditional habit of honouring benefactors, being in line with the retrospective cultural atmosphere that is often attributed to the Greek cities under Roman rule. However, a contextual analysis of the respective structures of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, considering their design, inscriptions, and urban setting, reveals a new and significant pattern. This is the linking of the tomb with important public donations of the deceased. As a result, the monuments were turned into hybrid spaces that

Hadwiga Schörner Institute of Classical ArchaeologyUniversity of Vienna, Franz-Klein-Gasse 1A – 1190 Vienna AUSTRIAhadwiga.schoerner@univie.ac.at Téléchargez l’article sur HAL-SHS Résumé : The phenomenon ‘intra-urban burial’ in Greek influenced Asia Minor can at first be grasped with the extraordinary Maussolleion at Halikarnassos. With this exception Maussollos formed his image in choosing by himself the site of his grave, a big part of the cult rites and the architecture, in which he joined Greek and oriental elements. The development of grave sites, cult rites and architecture forms for instance of the late-classical graves of Termessos or Ephesos will be analysed in succession of Maussollos. During Hellenistic times euergetism played a big role inside micro-Asiatic cities, and the intra-urban grave was part of the

Martin Seyer Österreichisches Archäologisches Institutmartin.seyer@oeai.at Téléchargez l’article sur HAL-SHS Résumé : Four tomb buildings of the Classical period are located within the city walls of Limyra: The Heroon of king Perikle and the remains of a tumulusboth at the acropolis; the hyposorion-sarcophagus of Xñtabura to the east of the Roman theatre, and an unfinished hyposorion sarcophagus directly above the excavated houses in the northwestern part of the living quarter. In general they are all regarded as intramural burials but as neither the city wall nor the tombs can be dated precisely the question arises, whether the term really is correct. Due to the fact that the Heroon of Perikle and the sarcophagus of Xñtabura have been published extensively and therefore

Oliver Hülden Ludwig Maximilians Universität Institüt für Klassische ArchäologieMünchenoliver_huelden@yahoo.de Téléchargez l’article sur HAL-SHS Résumé : Although in Lycia the most tombs are situated outside the city walls – as well as in other parts of the ancient world – the existence of intramural burials is discussed since the days of the first travellers of the 19th century. Especially a comment of O. Benndorf and G. Niemann describing that Lycian tombs are often combined with intramural individual houses – a combination which seems to blur the boundaries between the settlement and the necropolis – had a large impact on later scholars. In this paper I will give a general and diachronic but also a critical overview of this phenomenon especially based
