Miletus in 150 CE
An imaginative reconstruction of the city of Miletus, located in Asia Minor ( modern Turkey). I was interested in exploring the urban fabric implied in the famous city plan created by Hippodamus of Miletus. The main public buildings and spaces are modeled as simple massings from available archaeological data. The street layout is taken from historical plan layout drawings. The character of the housing areas is conjectural and meant only to explore possible domestic building densities necessary to accommodate an estimated population of 100,000 to 150,000 in 150 AD.

Miletoslular özellikle MÖ. 6. yüzyılda ve Karadeniz'de kurdukları koloniler sayesinde etkinliklerini çoğaltıp ve zenginleşmişlerdir. Antik kaynaklara göre 90 civarında kolonisi vardır. Miletos, zamanla İyonya'nın başkenti haline gelmiştir.
İyonya, günümüz İzmir ve Aydın sahillerini içine alan bölgeye Antik Çağ'da verilen isimdir. Bu bölgede Miletos dışında Ephesos (Efes), Priene, Khios (Sakız), Erythrai, Teos, Kolophon, Lebedos, Klazomenai, Samos (Sisam), Phokaia (Foça), Myus ve sonradan birliğe katılan Smyrna (İzmir) kentleri bulunuyordu.
Ephesos ve Miletos, dönemlerinin uygarlık ve kültür merkeziydiler. Özellikle Miletos felsefenin babası Thales'in, ünlü düşünürler Anaksimenes ve Anaximandros'un, ilk düzenli şehir plancısı, ızgara şehir planının babası Hippodamos'un, tarihçi ve coğrafyacı Hekataios'un memleketidir. Felsefe, Yunan dünyasına bu Anadolu kentinden gitmiştir.
Klasik Dönem'de bir liman kenti olan Miletos, Meander (Menderes) Nehri'nin taşıdığı alüvyonların zamanla Latmos Körfezi'ni doldurmasıyla birlikte denizden 10 km içeride kaldı.

Eric Clark's Travel Videos - Miletos Turkey - Ancient Greek City with an AMAZING Theater.
Miletos – said to be the birthplace of Hagia Sophia’s architect, Isidore of Miletus. These ancient ruins lie on a hill and the grid like layout became the basic layout for Roman Cities. Seljuk Turks conquered the city in the 14th Century and used Miletos as a port to trade with Venice. As the harbour dried up, the city was abandoned and today the ruins lie around 10 kilometres from the sea. The first excavations began in 1873. One artefact recovered, the ‘Market Gate of Miletos’ was transported piece by piece to Germany and reassembled. The main collection of artefacts resides in Miletos museum.
Miletus (/maɪˈliːtəs/; Greek: Μῑ́λητος, romanized: Mīlētos; Hittite transcription Millawanda or Milawata (exonyms); Latin: Miletus; Turkish: Milet) was an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia, near the mouth of the Maeander River in ancient Caria.[3][4][5] Its ruins are located near the modern village of Balat in Aydın Province, Turkey. Before the Persian invasion in the middle of the 6th century BC, Miletus was considered among the greatest and wealthiest of Greek cities.[6][7]
Evidence of first settlement at the site has been made inaccessible by the rise of sea level and deposition of sediments from the Maeander. The first available evidence is of the Neolithic. In the early and middle Bronze Age the settlement came under Minoan influence. Legend has it that an influx of Cretans occurred displacing the indigenous Leleges. The site was renamed Miletus after a place in Crete.
The Late Bronze Age, 13th century BC, saw the arrival of Luwian language speakers from south central Anatolia calling themselves the Carians. Later in that century other Greeks arrived. The city at that time rebelled against the Hittite Empire. After the fall of that empire the city was destroyed in the 12th century BC and starting about 1000 BC was resettled extensively by the Ionian Greeks. Legend offers an Ionian foundation event sponsored by a founder named Neleus from the Peloponnesus.
The Greek Dark Ages were a time of Ionian settlement and consolidation in an alliance called the Ionian League. The Archaic Period of Greece began with a sudden and brilliant flash of art and philosophy on the coast of Anatolia. In the 6th century BC, Miletus was the site of origin of the Greek philosophical (and scientific) tradition, when Thales, followed by Anaximander and Anaximenes (known collectively, to modern scholars, as the Milesian School) began to speculate about the material constitution of the world, and to propose speculative naturalistic (as opposed to traditional, supernatural) explanations for various natural phenomena.
Neolithic
The earliest available archaeological evidence indicates that the islands on which Miletus was originally placed were inhabited by a Neolithic population in 3500–3000 BC.[8] Pollen in core samples from Lake Bafa in the Latmus region inland of Miletus suggests that a lightly grazed climax forest prevailed in the Maeander valley, otherwise untenanted. Sparse Neolithic settlements were made at springs, numerous and sometimes geothermal in this karst, rift valley topography. The islands offshore were settled perhaps for their strategic significance at the mouth of the Maeander, a route inland protected by escarpments. The graziers in the valley may have belonged to them, but the location looked to the sea.
Middle Bronze Age
The prehistoric archaeology of the Early and Middle Bronze Age portrays a city heavily influenced by society and events elsewhere in the Aegean, rather than inland.
Minoan period
Beginning at about 1900 BC artifacts of the Minoan civilization acquired by trade arrived at Miletus.[8] For some centuries the location received a strong impulse from that civilization, an archaeological fact that tends to support but not necessarily confirm the founding legend—that is, a population influx, from Crete. According to Strabo:[9]
Ephorus says: Miletus was first founded and fortified above the sea by Cretans, where the Miletus of olden times is now situated, being settled by Sarpedon, who brought colonists from the Cretan Miletus and named the city after that Miletus, the place formerly being in possession of the Leleges.
The legends recounted as history by the ancient historians and geographers are perhaps the strongest; the late mythographers have nothing historically significant to relate.[10]

The city at that time rebelled against the Hittite Empire. After the fall of that empire the city was destroyed in the 12th century BC and starting about 1000 BC was resettled extensively by the Ionian Greeks. Legend offers an Ionian foundation event sponsored by a founder named Neleus from the Peloponnesus.
The Greek Dark Ages were a time of Ionian settlement and consolidation in an alliance called the Ionian League. The Archaic Period of Greece began with a sudden and brilliant flash of art and philosophy on the coast of Anatolia. In the 6th century BC, Miletus was the site of origin of the Greek philosophical (and scientific) tradition, when Thales, followed by Anaximander and Anaximenes (known collectively, to modern scholars, as the Milesian School) began to speculate about the material constitution of the world, and to propose speculative naturalistic (as opposed to traditional, supernatural) explanations for various natural phenomena.
Neolithic
The earliest available archaeological evidence indicates that the islands on which Miletus was originally placed were inhabited by a Neolithic population in 3500–3000 BC.[8] Pollen in core samples from Lake Bafa in the Latmus region inland of Miletus suggests that a lightly grazed climax forest prevailed in the Maeander valley, otherwise untenanted. Sparse Neolithic settlements were made at springs, numerous and sometimes geothermal in this karst, rift valley topography. The islands offshore were settled perhaps for their strategic significance at the mouth of the Maeander, a route inland protected by escarpments. The graziers in the valley may have belonged to them, but the location looked to the sea.
Middle Bronze Age
The prehistoric archaeology of the Early and Middle Bronze Age portrays a city heavily influenced by society and events elsewhere in the Aegean, rather than inland.
Minoan period
Beginning at about 1900 BC artifacts of the Minoan civilization acquired by trade arrived at Miletus.[8] For some centuries the location received a strong impulse from that civilization, an archaeological fact that tends to support but not necessarily confirm the founding legend—that is, a population influx, from Crete. According to Strabo:[9]
Ephorus says: Miletus was first founded and fortified above the sea by Cretans, where the Miletus of olden times is now situated, being settled by Sarpedon, who brought colonists from the Cretan Miletus and named the city after that Miletus, the place formerly being in possession of the Leleges.
The legends recounted as history by the ancient historians and geographers are perhaps the strongest; the late mythographers have nothing historically significant to relate.[10]
