How did the physical infrastructure of new poleis reflect civic ideals in the
Hellenistic world?
palatial
demetrias - palace, copying architecture of pella, andrones organised around peristyle courtyards , meant to be a macedonian royal capital as one of the fetters of greece, mediate relationships by having people come to the palace
pergamon
idea of luxury with unswept floor
loyalty to monarchy
ai khanoum
storage and organisation in palace seems different, less about dining
structure dates to eukradies the first, bactrian, he builds the palace
c. 250, diodotus revolts and they lose bactria, so ai khanoum kinda suffers
civic ideals
key tenets that speak to identity and functionality of the polis
things that inspire the people to act in a way that will be a benefit for the polis
e.g. piety and euergetism
Ai Khanoum
heroon of Kineas
Kineas = thessalian name
delphic maxims
theatre greek in shape but not in material, made of mudbrick
priene gymnasia
zosimos
hippodamian town-planning
priene
and pella
pergamon
libraries
pursuit of knowledge and literature
poleis competing with each other - perhaps not reflecting civic ideal but a political competition
