Late Roman Fortification Walls and Bouleuterion (Kadıoğlu, 2021, 173, Figure 63)
The Late Roman Period Wall was likely constructed to withstand the invasions of Goths during the Late Roman Period. Built entirely with reused architectural blocks from earlier structures, the wall forms an citadel encompassing the agora, the bouleuterion, and the Temple of The Goddess Roma and Augustus, covering approximately 3 hectares. Although the bouleuterion remains within the area enclosed by the wall, the use of its architectural blocks in the wall’s construction indicates that the wall was built hastily. While sufficient archaeological and epigraphic evidence for dating the wall has not yet been found, the fact that it was hastily constructed and reduced the size of the city center points that it might have been built between 260 and 267 AD to defend against the Goth invasions that ravaged Anatolia during that period.
