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

The Maussolleion was placed in the city centre of the newly planned residential city and capital of Hekatomnid Karia, and it was staged as the biggest of the sanctuaries of Halikarnassos. Surely, neither discretion nor modesty was involved in this endeavour. It was soon counted as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and already in the 18th century it was

Elizabeth McGowan Williams Collegeelizabeth.p.mcgowan@williams.edu Téléchargez l’article sur HAL-SHS Résumé : Undoubtedly the most renowned example of intramural burial in antiquity was the Maussolleion at Halicarnassus. Since its rediscovery within the writing of Vitruvius, Pliny and other ancient authors by Renaissance architects its form has been a frequent subject of speculation. The results of the archaeological campaigns of the 19th and 20th centuries have allowed the discussion to encompass an aesthetic evaluation of the temple-tomb’s actual remains. The Maussolleion’s seemingly disparate assortment of architectural forms, which samples motifs from prominent Mediterranean cultures (Lykian podium, Greek temple, and Egyptian pyramid) has been characterized as the ultimate statement in bad taste by a self-aggrandizing satrap. In order, however, to understand the architect’s and
