GALATIA AS A REGION and their families who migrated from Galatia is located in a basin in north-cen- Thrace in 278 bc.

Other fi nd- ings da ng back to Neolithic mes and more recent periods show that the area has been populated by various ancient civiliza ons throughout the ages. • Records from the Hi te period (when the fi rst recorded poli cal union of Anatolian ci es was set up calling itself the Lycian league) refer to the area as the Lands of Arzarwa and document the lively interac on going on between the provinces in 1700 BC. • Historical records document how ci es developed independently, how the area as a whole was called Pamphilia and how a federa on of ci es was set up in the province. There is also a record of the migra on of the Akha Clan to the area a er the Trojan war. • The reign of the Kingdom of Lydia in the west Anatolia came to an end in 560 BC a er the Persians defeated it during the ba le of Sardis in 546 BC. • From 334 BC un l his death, Alexander the Great conquered the ci es of the area one by one - leaving out Termessos and Silion- and so con nued the sovereignty of the Persians.

In the context of a large, international, research project called “ERATO”: “identification, Evaluation and Revival of the Acoustical heritage of ancient Theatres and Odea” funded by the European Union, acoustic measurements have been carried out in the Aspendos Theatre in Turkey. The project is aiming at virtual restoration of ancient open and roofed Roman theatres and the purpose of the measurements in the Aspendos Theatre was to calibrate our room acoustic simulation model (created in ODEON). This model will later be used to auralize the sound in virtual presentations of what theater goers might have experienced in ancient times. Fig. 1: Crude ODEON model of the Aspendos.
