Résumé
Kelainai. A Phrygian City between East and West. In the ancient city Celaenae at the source of Meander were localized the myths of Marsyas and Midas. It was known as the place where the Ark of Noah first touched ground. Being on the route between Sardeis and Gordion it was the halting place for many armies. For its outstanding natural position at the gates to inner Anatolia it was chosen as seat of Achaemenid and Seleucid rulers. Xerxes, Cyrus the Younger and Antiochos built there palaces and hunting gardens. Later the name of the city was turned to Apameia and an epithéton Kibotos (box) was added to distinguish it from other cities with this name. In Roman times Apameia was known as the biggest market in Asia Minor after Ephesus. The Franco-German survey project is a fully integrating multidisciplinary research program to study the archaeological remains of ancient Celaenae/ Apameia Cibotos. For a wider understanding of both city and chora the strategies of research are twofold : firstly to produce a multidisciplinary study of the archaeological remains on the city mound nearby modern Dinar by the means of intensive surveys. The second and more broad-ranging strategy is to investigate the surrounding rural landscape by extensive surveys.
