Excavations at Ancient Phoenix

February 28, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Penn Museum

Philadelphia, PA 19104 United States


AIA Society: Philadelphia

The first excavations at ancient Phoenix (in southwestern Turkey), beginning in 2022, have yielded extensive evidence for the existence of an Apollo Sanctuary at the site, which was in use from the early Hellenistic period. The archaeological data have shown that the Doric temple transformed into a basilica in late antiquity, serving as a church until the late Byzantine Period. This lecture focuses on the material culture that witnessed the ritual activities, dedications, and architectural transformation of the Apollo Sanctuary.
