Document Summary
Very useful because the site wasn"t really built on afterward. Interesting since can see ity of late 5 th erly 4 th c. Good example of a 4 th c. town rivals priene, pompeii, etc in telling about everyday life. Most of the houses were two stories tall. Drain in floor for garbage, went out into alley. Also mosaicsusually only in inning room: the dinning room is usually the easiest to identify because they have a raised bench along the walls. Some have basins attached to wall: floors are better finished as well to keep the water from ruining everything, they don"t really have running water so you would have to fill the tub and basin by hand. Basins in bathrromms but also sometims other rooms. Palace from late 4 th c, 104x88m: two parts, main palace. Windows common, also lots of fine bronze furniture, painted walls, statuary, etc: shows that people in general were able to afford these things.
