Description
Drawing of the Bouleuterion in Priene, Turkey. "The bouleuterion provided seating for 600-700 people, a large number considering the population of Priene. Thus it may have been an Ekklesiasterion, or meeting hall for the Assembly of citizens, rather than a bouleuterion or meeting hall for council members alone. The exedra in the south wall, with its arcuated lintel, also served as a light well for the bouleuterion; it is uncertain whether additional windows existed higher in the walls,"--Perseus Digital Library.
