| 説明 | Bòmos with sarcophagi leant on its roofThe North necropolis of Hierapolis is the most important and the best preserved in Anatolia; it extends for nearly two kilometers along the ancient street connecting Hierapolis to ancient cities of Tripolis and Sardis. Archaeologists have identified about 1200 tombs many of them with inscriptions identifying the owners and stating their achievements. It is possible to recognize several funeral buildings belonging to different periods:- Tumulus (Hellenistic age, 2nd century BC – 1st century AD): composed of an underground funeral room with an antechamber (dromos) surrounded by a cylindrical drum of travertine slabs holding a cone-shaped earth heap.- Bòmos (from 2nd century AD): a building with a square or rectangular room and a base with steps. Inside the funeral beds are placed along the walls. The flat roof usually supports a sarcophagus.- Heroon (from the 1st century BC): a highly monumental funeral building.- Sacellum, or shaped tomb: a building with a sloping roof, square or rectangular room and base with steps. The upper step, decorated with lion paws, was used as a seat.- Sarcophagi: isolated or in-group they were built in travertine or marble. Sarcophagi were clustered around chamber-tombs and in several cases were piled on the their roof. Not all sarcophagi were associated with sepulchers, some stood on their own.Several funerary buildings and sarcophagi bear inscriptions in ancient Greek mentioning the owner and the rules for the use of the tomb.North NecropolisHierapolis of PhrygiaPamukkale, Turkey |
