Bases et statues de la famille impériale au théâtre de Telmessos

Rescue excavations by the Museum of Fethiye between 1992 and 1995 were carried out in the theater of Telmessus which was built in the Late Hellenistic period. Three statue bases which were raised by the Lycian koinon in honour of Plotina, Trajan and Matidia are examined in this article, as are two female statues (Plotina and Matidia?) and two others representing an armored emperor (Trajan?). All are exhibited in the garden of the Museum but come from this theater. The article discusses the architectural framework in which the bases and their statues were erected and questions the precise location where they were placed.
