Archaeology

Akselendi, located just east of the ancient Lydian town of Hierocaesarea, has yielded several notable archaeological finds. One marble stele discovered at the site preserves a series of dedications made by people named Ammein and Neikomachos.[1] The inscriptions commemorate multiple relatives, including Ariston, Soterichos, and Neikomachos himself, and reflect a multi-generational memorial practice. The term progonos in the inscription suggests that Ariston was likely a step-son of Neikomachos.[1]

Another stele from Akselendi features carved symbols above the text, including a comb, a wreath, and what appear to be mirrors, and commemorates a young woman named Meltines.[1] The text names her parents, Diophantos and Ammias, her grandmother Meltine, and her brothers Menekrates and Diophantos, along with other relatives who participated in the dedication.[1]
