Description
View of the Bouleuterion at Priene, Turkey. "Almost square in plan, the bouleuterion contains rows of seats on its west, north and east sides: 16 rows on the north, and ten each on the west and east. The south wall contains a rectangular niche or exedra with arched roof. Stepped aisles lead diagonally up to the rows of seats from the central floor area, or "orchestra," in which stands a marble altar. Regularly-spaced piers, six on each of the north, west and east sides, would have supported the wooden roof. The building was entered through doorways in the north, west, and south walls,"--Perseus Digital Library. Gordon Bugbee Collection
