Perge was an important city in the Roman province of Pamphylia in Asia Minor (now southwest Turkey; see map). The monumental complex surrounding the southern gate of this city was adorned with magnificent structures donated to the city by two wealthy women, whose largesse was attested in numerous inscriptions and whose statues were prominently displayed in the complex. The schematic plan of the city gate complex below will give an idea of the location of these structures; clicking on the plan will show photos of the extant remains of these structures as they appear today. The effect of these concentrated female benefactions on ancient visitors to the city must have been very striking.
