Tomb of Plancia Magna 2

View looking southwest at the front of the Tomb of Plancia Magna. Note the four-tiered base (crepidoma) that the "tomb" stands on. On top of this, the well-chiseled base of the tomb stands upon. The "tomb" almost looks like a small temple. It stands to the south of the southern gate complex of Perga.

I am not certain why there is still "dirt" on one of the crepidoma. The rough stones on the top of the platform were probably covered with marble—that has been since stripped off.

Plancia Magna was the daughter of the proconsul of Bithynia. She dedicated her life and her wealth to the beautification of the city [of Perge], undertaking large remodeling projects during Hadrian’s reign [A.D. 117-138]. She was "elevated to the rank of tutelary divinity of the city."
