Özet

Intensive building activities and unplanned urban growth that gained pace by the 20(th) century has almost totally devastated what had remained of ancient Smyrna, once reputed as the pearly of Roman province of Asia. Likewise, the temenos of the monumental temple, once located at the Degirmentepe district of Izmir was no exception to this destruction. As late as 19(th) century the location of the temple was marked by the remains of its foundations and scattered fragments of marble; now they are replaced by modern tall apartment buildings. Accordingly, the present paper is based on the assessment of ancient literary sources, descriptions of ancient travelers and archaeological comparisons.
