                            <p>In the excavations and researches conducted thus far at the ancient city of Metropolis, the largest structure identified on a Hellenistic urban scale is the theatre, located on the southern slopes of the hill upon which the city was founded. Constructed in the mid-2nd century BC, the Metropolis Theatre stands as one of the best-preserved examples of Hellenistic theatre architecture, comprising key components such as the koilon, orchestra, and skene. Various additions and modifications were made to the structure during different phases of the Roman Imperial period. One such modification occurred in the east analemma fill of the koilon. In 2018, archaeological excavations in this fill area uncovered a structure designated as ‘Chamber A’. This study focuses on the function of Chamber A and its relationship with the surrounding spaces. Furthermore, the construction process of Chamber A within the theatre -encompassing its materials, techniques, and workmanship- was examined. Based on archaeological context findings, it has been determined that the structure was built in the first half of the 1st century AD.</p></trans-abstract>

MÖ 2. yüzyılın ortalarında inşa edilen tiyatro, koilon, orkestra ve skene gibi birimleriyle Helenistik tiyatro mimarisinin en iyi korunmuş örneklerinden biridir. Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nin farklı süreçlerinde tiyatroda gerçekleştirilen ekleme ve düzenlemelerle, yapının birimlerinde değişiklikler meydana gelmiştir. Bunlardan biri, koilonun doğu analemma dolgusunda gerçekleşmiştir. 2018 yılında dolgu alanında yapılan arkeolojik kazılar sonucunda “A Mekânı” olarak tanımlanan yapıyla karşılaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın konusu, bu mekânın fonksiyonu ve bulunduğu alanla ilişkisi üzerinde temellendirilmiştir. Ayrıca malzeme, teknik ve işçilik özellikleriyle, A Mekânı’nın tiyatrodaki inşa süreci araştırılmış, arkeolojik kontekst buluntularının da yardımıyla yapının MS 1. yüzyılın ilk yarısında inşa edildiği değerlendirilmiştir.</p></abstract>
