dc.descriptionDescription: Found at Narlıger, 5 km southeast of Aphrodisias, were collection of large, white marble architectural fragments on the side of a dirt road, cleared from a neighboring field where previously there had been a raised platform. According to local informants, the owner of the field had recently leveled it. One of the blocks is a battered altar or statue ** base, originally inscribed with a dedication perhaps to Zeus, dated by Chaniotis to the third century A.D. (RS Inscriptions 3). The text was later partially defaced by a roughly carved cross. The other architectural elements seen near the inscribed block include a threshold (L: 1.44 m; W: 1.00 m; D: 0.31 m), a double-engaged half-column (H: 1.33 m; W: 0.41 m; D: 0.25 m), and a revetment fragment decorated with an inscribed bird ** (H: 0.24 m; W: 0.20 m; D: 0.05 m; Fig. 18); in addition there are also marble column bases, spiral fluted colonettes, a base molded block, marble floor tiles, and many petit appareil masonry blocks. The reinscribed base, the site, and the numerous architectural fragments could have come from a Late Roman villa, which may also have included a chapel.en_US
