Category:Gigantomachy frieze of the Perge theatre

This is the reconstruction of what were hundreds of fragments. Together they once decorated the podium of the third floor of the stage building of the Perge theatre. 13 sections are on display. The gods are fighting the giants, either from carts drawn by animals or directly, feet on the ground. Some of the gods are accompanied by mythological characters, so a satyr and Pan follow Dionysos, whose cart is drawn by the habitual panthers. The gods are seen moving from two side towards a central spot, so it is assumed that there was a particularly important subject in the middle of the frieze. The frieze is dated (because of the way it was carved, stylistic elements) to the reign of Emperor Gallianus (250-265 AD), when the theatre was renewed. As there are several "scenes" the sub-categories group them, with over-all and detail pictures.
