As a result of Persian rule in Western Anatolia, construction activities came to a standstill in the 5th century BC. From the first quarter of the 4th century BC, the conditions changed, and the wars between the Athenians, Spartans and Persians ended in favor of the Persians. After the King’s Peace in 387/6 BC, Athens had to give up its desire to control Western Anatolia and Anatolia was completely under Persian control. The King's Peace started a new period of prosperity and stability under Persian rule, and as a result, Western Anatolia experienced one of the most advanced periods in the history of architecture, called the “Ionian Renaissance”, when the Archaic Ionian culture began to revive with the Hekatomnid Dynasty. In this process, Hecatomnus and his successors managed to keep their regions away from the mixed political environment during their rule, as a result, new cities were established in the region or existing cities were rearranged and large-scale structures were started to be built again.
The aim of this study is to determine the reflections of the period called “Ionian Renaissance” in Knidos. In this context, firstly, the examples of the Karian-Ionian lewis hole in the city with the double corner bond technique, which is one of the characteristic applications of the Ionian Renaissance, will be emphasized. It is thought that the details of the double corner bond technique applied in the towers of Knidos will make an important contribution to the historical development of this masonry. In addition to the characteristic applications, the general characteristics of the period in question in the city will also be briefly evaluated.
Batı Anadolu’daki Pers hakimiyeti sonucunda MÖ 5. yüzyılda imar faaliyetleri neredeyse durma noktasına gelmiştir. MÖ 4. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden itibaren koşullar değişmiş, Atinalılar, Spartalılar ve Persler arasındaki savaşlar Perslerin lehine sonuçlanmıştır. MÖ 387/6 yılındaki Kral Barışı olarak bilinen antlaşmanın ardından Atina, Batı Anadolu’yu kontrol etme arzusundan vazgeçmek zorunda kalmış ve Anadolu tamamen Pers kontrolüne geçmiştir. Kral Barışı, Pers egemenliği altında yeni bir refah ve istikrar dönemi başlatmış ve Batı Anadolu, Arkaik Ionia kültürünün Hekatomnid Hanedanlığı ile yeniden canlanmaya başladığı “Ionia Rönesansı” olarak adlandırılan mimarlık tarihindeki en gelişmiş dönemlerden birini yaşamıştır. Bu süreçte Hekatomnos ve ardılları, yönetimleri süresince bölgelerini karışık siyasi ortamdan uzak tutmayı başarmış, bunun sonucunda bölgede yeni kentler kurulmuş veya varolanlar yeniden düzenlenerek tekrar büyük ölçekli yapılar inşa edilmeye başlanmıştır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı “Ionia Rönesansı” olarak adlandırılan dönemin Knidos’taki yansımalarını belirleyebilmektir. Bu kapsamda öncelikli ve ağırlıklı olarak bu dönemin karakteristik uygulamalarından olan “çift köşe bağı” tekniği ile “Karia-Ionia tipi kurtağzı kanca yuvalarının” kentteki örnekleri üzerinde durulacaktır. Knidos savunma kulelerinde uygulanan çift köşe bağı tekniği ile ilgili detayların, bu duvar örgüsünün tarihsel gelişimine önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Karakteristik uygulamalar dışında kentte, söz konusu dönemin genel özellikleri de çalışma kapsamında kısaca değerlendirilecektir.
