Abstract

The Lion Harbour was Miletos’ most prominent harbour during antiquity. It can be envisaged as the heart of the Ionian metropolis in western Asia Minor. Originally situated in a bay of the “(I-)Karian Sea”, Miletos is now fully incorporated into the plain of the Maeander river, today’s Büyük Menderes. In this article we combine results from historical and archaeological research with those from palaeo-geography and geophysics. This geoarchaeological approach offers new insights into the dynamic evolution of the harbour basin from the time of the marine transgression in the early Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC), when the area formed part of an island, until its final siltation by the sediments of the river Maeander c. AD 1500. The Lion Harbour’s outstanding significance is clear from its strategic role as one of the closable war harbours of Archaic and later times. Its central position in the Archaic insula street grid, lining the agora and the main city sanctuary of Apollo Delphinios, made it a gate through which, so to speak, gods and humans entered the city; it was also the point from which Milesians left the city to start their sailing seasons or found their many colonies. The Lion Harbour is likely to be identified with the “Harbour of Dokimos” mentioned by the 1st century AD novelist Chariton (Chaireas and Kallirhoë 3.2.11) The commercial relevance of the Lion Harbour, however, was quite limited in antiquity. Miletos had a series of other harbours that fulfilled this function: the Theatre Harbour is perhaps the oldest of Miletos’ harbours; it also served as a closable harbour in Geometric-Archaic times. Other important harbours are the Humei Tepe Harbour and the Eastern Harbour at the eastern fringe of the peninsula; one of them, most probably the Eastern Harbour, should be identified with the emporion, or commercial harbour, where the slave market was located. Together, this quartet might be equated with the four harbours of the city Strabon mentions (Geographica 14.1.6). Finally, there are the Athena and Kalabak Tepe harbours, both of only minor importance. An overview of the evidence for all these harbours is given at the end of the article.

The Lion Harbour lies in the natural depression between this little hill and the one to the right (Humei Tepe). The floodplain of the Biiyiik Menderes valley in the middle ground occupies the area of the former marine embayment (part of the “(I)Karian Sea”).

The very low sedimentation rate between 3960-3790 BC and 510-390 BC, i.e. from the Neolithic/ Chalcolithic until the Archaic periods, of only 0.6 mm/a, is evidence ofa still intact ecosystem with a low sediment flux in the environs of the Lion Harbour. Thereafter, the sedimen- tation rate increases to 6.3 mm/a between 510-390 BC and 100-50 BC, i.e. during the Classical and Hellenistic periods, which documents the mobilisation of sediments from the adjacent slopes. The highest sedimentation rate is reached in Roman and early Byzantine times: 12.2 mm/a between 100-50 BC and c. AD 400. This can be explained by the increased human impact on the eco- system in Roman times.’ The same holds true for Lake

This designation hints at the health problems caused by the extremely humid climate in the flooded Maeander plain, where diseases like malaria were common (Wiegand & Schrader 1904, 11-2; Wiegand 1929, 14-5; Philippson 1936, 9; Thonemann 2011, 18, 299).

  29. The Aeinautai, a faction of rich aristocrats (and merchants?), are an enigma of Archaic Milesian history. Their office is mentioned by Hesychios (s.v. ἀειναῦται· ἀρχῆς ὀνομα παρὰ Μιλησίοις) and Plutarchos Quaestiones Graecae 32 p. 293c-d in connection with a period of civil strife which led to the overthrow of the tyrants Thoas and Damasenor: ἐβουλεύοντο περὶ τῶν μεγίστων ἐμβαίνοντες εἰς τὰ πλοῖα καὶ πόρρω τῆς γῆς ἐπανάγοντες• κυρώσαντες δὲ πὴν γνώμην κατέπλεον, καὶ διὰ ἀειναῦται προσηγορεύθησαν ("They were accustomed to deliberating about matters of the greatest importance by going aboard ships and putting out to sea far away from the land. When they made their decision, they sailed back, and on account of this they are called 'perpetual sailors' . " Translation by Gorman 2001, 108). The story is put together with Herodotos 5.28-30 and dated to the years before 560 BC: Hiller von Gaetringen 1932, 1594; Robertson 1987, 381-384; Gorman 2001, 108-10; Talamo 2004, 18-31; Herda 2005, 292 with n. 239; Herda 2006, 18 n. 59. Aeinautai are also attested in Chalkis and Eretria (6 th -3 rd centuries BC): Robertson 1987, 382-3, 384; Scott 2000, 107-8; Gorman 2001, 109-10; Walker 2004, 23, 123-4, 134, 138. That the Aeinautai performed the embateria rites was assumed by Robertson 1987, 383.

  53. This harbour is called the "East Harbour" ("Osthafen") by von Graeve 2006, 261; Stümpel & Erkul 2008, 25; Bumke & Tanrıöver 2012, 76 with fig. 75. We prefer the designation "Humei Tepe Harbour" (cf. Tuttahs 2007, 356: "Hafenanlage am Humei Tepe") to distinguish it from the harbour on the long stretch of the central eastern side of the peninsula around the South Market (see § 4.2).

However, according to the stands of the amphorae they should rather date to the mid-5 th century BC and not the Archaic period, as I. Birzescu has pointed out to us (personal communication with A. Herda, April 2013). It is also strange that they were all found turned upside down, so that W. Schiering (1979, 90 n. 62) believed that they might represent a stor- age area of an amphora workshop.

  60. This has been argued by Emme 2013, 59-63 figs. 6-8; cf. Herda 2013, 76 with n. 25. Instead, von Gerkan (1925, 104-5) explained the lack of any func- tional rooms in the "West Market" as an area where goods were piled in the open air; see also Hiller von Gaetringen 1932, 1609: "Der offene Hof als Aufbewahrungsort für Waren ist der Typus des hellenistischen Emporiums".
  61. The gymnasion of Eumenes II must have been located west of the Classical/Hellenistic stadium (Kleiner 1968: 89-91; Bringmann & von Steuben 1995, 346-9 no. 284 figs. 140-5). A. von Gerkan (1925, 105) has already noted that the West Market columns with filled flutes in their lower part (ibid. 103 fig. 52) are typical of the architecture of Pergamon. For a double xystos with an open court in between, one can compare the gymnasion of Ptolemy II(?) in Athens, located between the old agora northeast of the acropolis and the Roman agora, nowadays Odos Kyrrhestou (Hoepfner 1999, 224-7, fig. p. 224-5 "Strasse und Stoen nach Korres"). Other examples are the gymnasium of Hellenistic Stratonikeia and the gymnasium of Roman Nysa; cf. Emme 2013, 62-3 fig. 8.
