Spazi figurativi a Villa Adriana: il caso dell’Edificio a Tre Esedre
No full textThe Three Exedrae Building is one of the most representative places of Hadrian’s Villa. The particular plan and the connections with adjacent buildings show that this complex is the result of an accurate architectural project. The importance of the structure is confirmed by the opulence of its decoration: the rooms and arcades were sumptuously covered by opus sectile and adorned by splendid architectural elements, made of various coloured marbles. The use of unique decorative schemes and the high quality execution represent a further evidence of the building relevance. The analysis of the architectural ornament points that this hadrianic building was inspired by stylistic prototypes of the early Empire. This classicistic tendency, called Augustan Revival, is specially appropriate for the Three Exedrae Building, a highly representative complex, probably used as a vestibule for the emperor’s palace
The Ionic Portico of the Ploutonion in Hierapolis of Phrygia
No full textA large quantity of architectural materials attributable to an Ionic portico were recently discovered in the Ploutonion of Hierapolis, a sanctuary dedicated to Pluto and Kore built over a sacred cave from which poisonous gases were emitted. The blocks included a frieze-architrave with a dedicatory inscription to the emperor nero, which enables us to date the construction with certainty. The detailed study of the blocks has made it possible to formulate a hypothetical reconstruction of the layout and elevation of the monument: the portico stood at the top of the ritual theatron of the Ploutonion and had a protruding central section raised on a podium. The stoa can thus be interpreted as a sort of porticus in summa cavea, while the central aedicula can be identified as the
naos of the sanctuary, where the cult statues of Pluto and Kore were originally positioned
Tradizione e sperimentazione nell’architettura sacra a Hierapolis di Frigia. I capitelli ionici con collarino decorato del Santuario di Apollo
No full textThis paper focuses on some architectural elements from the polyadic Sanctuary of Apollo at
Hierapolis in Phrygia, as a part of the research activities carried out by MAIER – the Italian Archaeological
Mission at Hierapolis. A group of six Ionic capitals is distinguished by the unusual composition,
which combines the decorated hypotrachelion with a fluted baluster and the presence of a bead-andreel
motif along the edge of the volutes. A series of comparisons shows that these original solutions
depend on retrospective trends, as the reference to the most famous monuments of Classical Greece
(the Erechtheion) and to the traditional forms of Microasiatic architecture (Artemisia of Ephesos and
Sardis). Furthermore, the specific features of the hypotrachelion reveal a creative interaction between
the architectural models of Rome and the local traditions of province of Asia. These Ionic capitals appear
as the result of a complex artistic experimentation, realized at Hierapolis during the Hadrianic
period; the chronology is also confirmed by the analysis of the decorative patterns

The Construction Site of the Temple of Dionysus
No full textThe architectural study of the temple of Dionysos foresees a detailed reconstruction of the ancient building site, which began in the late 3rd cent. BC and ended under the Hadrian’s reign as attested by the dedicatory inscription. A targeted research, started in 2017 and still ongoing, is investigating thousands of blocks scattered in the temple area
Non finito interfase o intrafase? Il contributo dell’Agorà Nord di Hierapolis di Frigia alla ricostruzione delle procedure e dell’organizzazione del cantiere antico

Lo studio del non finito permette di indagare numerosi aspetti tecnici e logistici del cantiere antico, ad esempio i criteri che determinano la priorità di lavorazione dei diversi blocchi e l’organizzazione dei gruppi di lavoro e la loro diversa specializzazione
Ancient construction sites in Hierapolis in Phrygia. New data on strategies, materials and techniques
No full textAs part of the marmora Phrygiae Project, a specific line of enquiry was the reconstruction of the technical and socioeconomic aspects of the building sites of Hierapolis. an integrated approach, encompassing architectural, art-historical and archaeometric aspects, was applied to the public monuments, to highlight the procedures employed in the construction process, the strategy for selection and procurement of the materials, the management of the workforce, and the specific roles of figures operating in the construction. This objective was achieved thanks to the research into the city’s ancient architecture carried out in the last decade, and the recent archaeometric investigations aimed at characterising the marbles and mortars. The paper presents some of
the results of this research into the “archaeology of construction”, focusing on the supply and management of building materials. Their use in the imperial era building sites, restoration and reuse, assembly systems and revetment techniques are discussed

Un monumento nel monumento. L’esedra marmorea di epoca pre-neroniana reimpiegata nel vano F del Ploutonion
No full textNel 2018 sono state scavate le sostruzioni del vano F, fino a raggiungere il piano di roccia al di sopra della grotta del Ploutonion. Questo lavoro ha permesso di documentare i blocchi marmorei e calcarei di reimpiego di cui è composto il vano F, riconoscendo numerosi elementi pertinenti a edifici più antichi smantellati prima della costruzione del portico neroniano
