- Abstract
Excavations and research focused on the northern side of the city has been ongoing for some time in Lycian Olympos. Concentrated on the temple and its surroundings, where one of the most comprehensive construction programs of the city was carried out during the Roman Period, subject studies yielded finds that are promising for the development of new perspectives on the reconstruction program of the Roman Period to the northern part of the Olympos Stream, termed the Olympos Northern District. While sharing the incentive data regarding a strong claim such as the 'zoning program', presenting a holistic view on the urban plan rather than addressing the elements of the city individually, forms the backbone of this article. Taking into account the fact that some research results on the subject are published here for the first time, evaluations are conducted on the functions and definitions of the structures at some points affecting the content. The research method principally consists of evaluating the data obtained by documenting the finds revealed as a result of these excavations. Further, numerous data gathered as a result of work conducted over a 20-year period, is included. This article presents a thesis concerning the Roman Period development of the Olympos Northern District. In addition, certain questions are raised at the end of this article concerning the situation of this part of the city prior to the Roman Period, as it may enable the development of new perspectives and contribute to future research at Olympos.
