Carian Architecture before the Hecatomnids

The background to the intensive building program of the Hekatomnid dynasty in the 4th century B.C. has been sought in... more The background to the intensive building program of the Hekatomnid dynasty in the 4th century B.C. has been sought in other regions, because the architectural development of Karia before the Hekatomnids is unknown. The Hekatomnid period, which includes the buildings in Ionia and Karia, has been named the “Ionic and/or Ionian Renaissance” as a result of similarities with Archaic Ionic buildings. On the other hand, some unique architectural features of this period indicate the existence of
a local source for the Hekatomnid building program. For understanding the period before the Hekatomnids the architectural members presented in this study were chosen because they can be dated stylistically to this period since not a single building remains in situ. When all the architectural material, including possible remains in situ and the ancient textual sources have been taken into consideration, the architectural progress of Karia can be determined. All the material leads us to conclude that Karia had an architectural tradition in a comparable scale with the other regions, also after the Archaic period. It can be said that some unique architectural features of Karia indicate that the region was not only a follower but was also one of the leaders in the development of the Aeolic and Ionic architectural styles.

Achaemenids in Labraunda. A case of imperial presence in a rural sanctuary in Karia

Smaller towns met in fellowshps where common issues were handled in federal assemblies, in koina. We know that the oldest and most important of the Karian koina, "The Karians", met in the Zeus Karios sanctuary in Mylasa, and at some occasions also in the Zeus Labraundos sanctuary.
The relationship between these fellow sanctuaries and the political federation of "The Karians" obviously made them political as well as religious meeting places. The Hekatomnids took advantage of this traditional role of the Karian sanctuary at Labraunda and turned it into the key monument of the Hekatomnid dynasty.
The andrones at Labraunda were used for ritual banquets and they were evidently meant to attract a great deal of attention. It is assumed that the activities taking place in the andrones stood at the core of the life of the sanctuary. I suggest that a vital part of court life, the audiences, were transferred to Labraunda, where the multifaceted capacities of the Hekatomnid dynasts as high priests and kings on high, and satraps were omnipresent. One of the crucial components creating this image was the sphinxes crowning Andron B.
