Özet

The F3 Nymphaion, located at the southern slope of the Acropolis inPerge, an ancient city in Pamphylia, exemplifies monumental Romanarchitecture with its two-tiered aedicula façade. This fountain structure,measuring approximately 21 meters in width, was richly adorned withdiverse materials, including granite and various types of marble, and itsdecorative elements reflect the cultural and political identity of the region.The façade is characterized by a central niche flanked by arched recesses,with a River God (Kestros) statue prominently displayed, emphasizing itsaquatic function. Architectural elements, such as the spirally adornedfriezes and Dionysian motifs, highlight the integration of sculpturalornamentation into the architectural framework. Recent studies focus onthe restitution of the façade and its figurative sculptures, revealing insightsinto Hadrianic-era patronage and urban embellishment strategies. The F3Nymphaion serves not only as a water feature but also as a symbolicrepresentation of civic pride and Roman imperial influence in Anatolia.This study aims to reconstruct the F3 Nymphaion through 3D modeling,providing a comprehensive visualization of its original appearance inantiquity. By analyzing its design features and spatial integration within theurban fabric, the research will contribute to a better understanding of itsarchitectural significance and cultural role in the Roman Imperial period.
