Antique Berlin Civile Columns Corinthian Hadrian Marble Miletus Minor Pergamon Reign Remain Romans
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Market Gate of Miletus, a magnificent marble structure from the ancient Roman city in Asia Minor, now proudly stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Roman Empire in the Pergamon Museum on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this architectural marvel served as the entrance to the south market of the city. The intricately carved Corinthian columns, each standing tall and strong, frame the gateway, which was once adorned with sculptures and reliefs. During the Roman age, the city of Miletus was an important cultural and commercial center, and this gate was a symbol of the civic pride and prosperity of the city. The gate's design reflects the influence of both Greek and Roman architectural styles, showcasing the syncretism that characterized the Roman Empire during this period. The Market Gate of Miletus is a reminder of the imperial reign of Emperor Hadrian, who ruled from AD 117 to 138. The remains of this monumental structure have survived the test of time and continue to captivate visitors with their historical significance and artistic beauty. The intricate details of the carvings and the grandeur of the columns continue to inspire awe and wonder, transporting us back to the Roman Empire and the rich history of ancient civilizations.
