Document Details : Title: In Search of the Laodike Temple at Laodikeia in Media / Nahavand, Iran Author(s): RAHBAR, Mehdi , ALIBAIGI, Sajjad , HAERINCK, Ernie , OVERLAET, Bruno Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 49 Date: 2014 Pages: 301-329 DOI: 10.2143/IA.49.0.3009244 Abstract : Although important archaeological remains, such as Greek inscriptions and architectural elements are known from Nahavand since several decennia, it lasted until 2005 before a first exploratory season with excavations took place, followed by a second one in 2011. So far this research has led to important observations for the Seleucid and Parthian periods, but it is still too early to be able to locate with precision the temple in honour of Laodike, wife of Antiochus III. However, this temple is most likely to be located in the northwestern part of the town since several Seleucid/Parthian architectural remains have been found there. |
