Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Of the four central sections of the Pella Palace building, we conducted a survey and research on units I and V in collaboration with the Greek Archaeological Service. As a result, we confirmed that both units have a peristyle colonnaded courtyard with rooms arranged on the north side, and that they are the prototypes of large-scale mansions of the same period. Unit I is a public building that is thought to have been used for audiences by Hellenistic monarchs, and after renovations it developed into a style with three main rooms (andirons) lined up and sculptures and exedras. Unit V, on the other hand, was a physical education facility equipped with a lecture room and bathhouses, and was confirmed to be a valuable relic that is unique within the Hellenistic royal palace. It is expected that the full picture of Pella Palace will become clear by investigating the remaining units.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
古代ヘレニズムの王宮建築は、後の古代ローマのパラティヌスの宮殿建築群まで影響を与えた重要遺構であることが指摘されてきた。最古のヘレニズム王宮であるペラ王宮の建築遺構について、今回の再発掘によって詳細に調査研究することにより、西洋における古代住宅建築史の解明に資することが期待される点に学術的意義がある。ペラ王宮内に、謁見ホールが次第に整備された事実は、リノベーション(改修)の建築手法のヒントとなるばかりでなく、水道設備を伴った浴室や体育教育施設が王宮内部に併設されていたという新しい知見は、人間らしい豊かな都市空間の創造という観点から見て、現代にも重要な示唆を与えてくれる点に社会的意義がある。
