The Bath-Gymnasium at Sardis is the most important known example of
a complex that combines the gymnasium, a Greek institution, with
the Roman bath, a unique architectural and cultural embodiment
comparable in size and organization to the great Imperial thermae
of Rome. The restoration by the Harvard-Cornell Expedition of the
"Marble Court" or Imperial cult hall provides a rare opportunity to
appreciate firsthand the scale and elegance of the major Imperial
monuments. In this fully illustrated volume Fikret Yegul describes
the complex from the palaestra of the east through the richly
decorated Marble Court to the vast swimming pool, lofty halls, and
hot baths, including analysis of the excavation, evidence for
structural systems, roofing, vaulting, and decoration, and the
significance of building inscriptions. The author traces the
building history from its completion in the second century through
five centuries of renovation and redecoration. Mehmet Bolgil, a
practicing architect who was in charge of the restoration at
Sardis, contributes a clear description of the reconstruction
process.
