Aydın Tralleis Antik Kenti / Üç Gözler Tralleis antik kenti Aydın ilinin kuzeyinde, Kestane dağlarının hemen güney yamacındaki plato üzerinde yer almaktadır. İl merkezine 1 km. uzaklıkta olan kent, argoslular ve Tralleis’liler tarafından kurulmuştur. Menderes havzasının verimli toprakları üzerine kurulmuş olan bu kent M.Ö.334’te İskender tarafından alınmasından sonra Hellenistik krallıklar arasında sık sık el değiştirmiştir. Tralleis’te bu gün ayakta kalan tek yapı “Üç Gözler” olarak adlandırılan 2. asırda yapılmış olan, antik çağın eğitim, spor ve kültür açısından önde gelen yapılarından olan gymnasiuma ait kalıntıdır. Roma dönemine ait bir hamam, tiyatro, agora, stadium kentin diğer yapılarındandır. Devam eden kazılarla da kentin toprak altında kalmış kısımları ortaya çıkarılmaktadır. İlk çağda ürettiği deriler ve kırmızı renkli çanak çömlek ile ünlü olan kent, Apollonios ve Tauriskos isimli iki büyük yontu ustasını ve Ayasofya’ın mimarlarından Anthemios’u da yetiştirmiştir. Heykel sanatının dünyaca ünlü iki heykeli olan Farnese Boğazı ve Genç Atlet isimli heykeller de Tralleis’in gün yüzüne çıkan harikalarındandır.

Amazing

From Tralleis in the footsteps of Anaksimandros to Hagia Sophia Istanbul??!

It was the first ancient city I visited in Caria reagion because I was coming from north-west of Turkey. There is no enterence fee, it seems there is an ungoing archeological investigation but I did not see any archelogist while I was there. Depth of sewage channel was very interesting in general toilet. It is a must go ancient city.

Such a beautiful area without hoards of people

The surrounding area was beautiful. There were not big crowds . Interesting history

City in Caria (or Ionia or Lydia), founded according to tradition by a mixed company of Argives and barbarian Tralleis from Thrace (Strab. 649). In 400 B.C. the Spartan Thibron attempted to take it from the Persians, but was defeated by the strength of the place (Diod. 14.36). Taken by force by Antigonos in 313 (Diod. 19.75), the city later came under the Seleucids and took the name Seleuceia; this is confirmed by the coins, but Pliny's statement (HN 5.108) that it was also called Antiocheia is unsupported and generally regarded as a mistake. Other names which Tralles is alleged to have borne in early times are Euantheia (Plin. loc.cit.), Polyantheia, Erymna, and Charax (Steph. Byz.). After Magnesia Tralles passed to Eumenes and remained Pergamene until 133 B.C., even supporting Aristonikos against the Romans. At the time of the first Mithridatic war the city was under the tyranny of the sons of Kratippos (Strab. loc.cir.), who were apparently responsible for the slaughter of the Roman residents. In 26 B.C. Tralles suffered from a severe earthquake, and in gratitude for Augustus' help in restoration took the name of Caesareia; by the end of the 1st c., however, this name had fallen into disuse. Despite the great wealth of the citizens as recorded by Strabo, Tralles was refused the privilege of building a temple to Tiberius on the ground that she lacked sufficient resources. The abundant Imperial coinage continues down to the time of Gallienus. Later Tralles, as a bishopric, ranked second after Hypaipa under the metropolitan of Ephesos. The site is accurately described by Strabo (648) as on a plateau, well defended all round, with a steep acropolis. The hill is now occupied by the army, and visitors require a military escort. Little is left of the remains visible in the 19th and early 20th c., a theater, stadium, agora, and gymnasium, but the finds are in the Istanbul museum, and include a fine marble statue of a young athlete of the time of Augustus. All that is now standing is a part of the gymnasium, comprising three high arches of mixed masonry of stone and brick, with much mortar; this has been dated to the 3d c. A.D. It is called Üç Göz and is conspicuous from the road and railway, looking from a distance very like a triumphal arch. The theater faced S at the foot of the acropolis, which rises from the N end of the plateau. It was interesting chiefly because it had a T-shaped underground passage from the stage building to the middle of the orchestra, but this has been obliterated. All that now survives is an arched entrance at the level of the upper diazoma and a fragment of the retaining wall of the cavea.
