Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: One of pictures of the monument in its setting. The heroon, which is 14,73 m. high, is composed of a plain podium, a socle decorated with a frieze of dancing girls and a temple-like naiskos (aedicule on a base). The latter housed a nearly 4 meters high marble statue of an unknown local “heros”. The monument is characteristic in type of the transition from the late Hellenistic to the early Imperial period. Although its prototype is clearly Hellenistic, some of the decoration, such as the tendril frieze of the naiskos, which symbolizes the prosperity of the “golden age” initiated by Augustus’ reign, shows Roman influences. Around 400, when the center of Sagalassos was fortified again, the Northwest Heroon was converted into a tower in the city’s fortifications. During this conversion, the front of the original building was removed, so that the person to whom the monument was dedicated remains unknown." |
