Tetrapylon,Aphrodisias

Tetrapylon,Aphrodisias

According to recent excavations, the site was occupied as early as the late Neolithic period and developed through the Bronze and Iron Ages. The River Meander played an important role for the growth of the settlement.
Evidences concerning Aphrodisias in Archaic and Classical periods show a slow development of the temple of goddess in the area near the Acropolis.
After Roman capture in Asia Minor in 2C BC, the city had a reputation because of the goddess and during the Mithradatic Wars, in 82 BC., the Roman dictator Sulla, and grandfather of Memmius, had an advice from the oracle of Delpi to honour the Carian Aphrodite, and sent her a golden crown and a double axe.
