SIDE (mod. Eski Adalia)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 38 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIDE (mod. Eski Adalia) , an ancient city on the Pamphylian
coast
  about 12 M. E. of the mouth of the Eurymedon. Possessing a good harbour in the days of small craft, it was the most important place in
Pamphylia
 . Alexander visited and occupied it, - and there the Rhodian
fleet
  defeated that of Antiochus the
Great
 , and in the succeeding century the Cilician pirates established their
chief
  seat. An inscription found on the site shows it to have had a considerable Jewish population in early Byzantine times. The
great
  ruins, among the most notable in
Asia
 
Minor
 , have been re-occupied by some 200 families of Cretan Moslems. They cover a large promontory, fenced from the mainland by a ditch and
wall
  which has been repaired in medieval times and is singularly perfect. Within this is a maze of structures out of which rises the colossal ruin of the theatre, built up on arches like a Roman
amphitheatre
  for lack of a convenient hill-side to be hollowed out in the usual Greek fashion. The auditorium is little less perfect than that of Aspendus and very nearly as large; but the scena
wall
  has collapsed over stage and proscenium in a cataract of loose blocks. The arches now afford shelter and stabling for the Cretans. Besides the theatres, three temples, an aqueduct and a nymphaeum are noticeable.
See C. Lanckorouski, Les Villes de la Pamphylie et de la Pisidie, i. (189o). . (D. G. H.)
