Antik kentlerde dola\u015fmak bana daima farkl\u0131 bir haz verir; \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc ta\u015flar aras\u0131nda
\ny\u00fcr\u00fcrken, zaman\u0131 a\u015fan bir yolculu\u011fun par\u00e7as\u0131 oldu\u011fumu hissederim. Sabah
\ng\u00fcne\u015fiyle Antalya\u2019dan yola \u00e7\u0131karken de i\u00e7imde merak ve heyecan vard\u0131. \u015eehir
\nmerkezinden uzakla\u015f\u0131nca ovaya yay\u0131lan \u0131\u015f\u0131k, beni bir zaman yolculu\u011funa \u00e7a\u011f\u0131r\u0131yor
\ngibiydi. Aksu\u2019ya vard\u0131\u011f\u0131mda kar\u015f\u0131ma \u00e7\u0131kan sur kal\u0131nt\u0131lar\u0131, Perge\u2019nin kap\u0131s\u0131nda
\ndurdu\u011fumun i\u015faretiydi. Daha ilk bak\u0131\u015fta, bu kentin s\u0131radan bir antik yerle\u015fim
\nolmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 hissettim.
\n Giri\u015f kap\u0131s\u0131ndan ad\u0131m\u0131m\u0131 att\u0131\u011f\u0131mda kar\u015f\u0131ma \u00e7\u0131kan s\u00fctunlu cadde, antik Roma\u2019n\u0131n
\n\u015fehircilik anlay\u0131\u015f\u0131n\u0131 b\u00fct\u00fcn g\u00f6rkemiyle yans\u0131t\u0131yordu. Ortas\u0131ndan ge\u00e7en su kanal\u0131,
\nyaln\u0131zca serinlik i\u00e7in de\u011fil; ayn\u0131 zamanda estetik bir d\u00fczenin par\u00e7as\u0131yd\u0131. Bir zamanlar
\nburadan akan sular\u0131n sesi, al\u0131\u015fveri\u015f yapan t\u00fcccarlar\u0131n seslerine, ko\u015fu\u015fturan
\n\u00e7ocuklar\u0131n ne\u015fesine kar\u0131\u015f\u0131yordu. Bug\u00fcn sessizlik h\u00e2kim, ama bu sessizlikte bile
\nge\u00e7mi\u015fin kalabal\u0131\u011f\u0131na dair bir iz bulmak zor de\u011fil.
\n Caddeyi takip ederek agoraya ula\u015ft\u0131m. Roma d\u00f6neminde ticaretin kalbinin att\u0131\u011f\u0131 bu
\nmeydanda, bir zamanlar baharat kokular\u0131, kuma\u015f tezg\u00e2hlar\u0131 ve kalabal\u0131\u011f\u0131n u\u011fultusu
\nvard\u0131. \u015eimdi ta\u015flar\u0131n aras\u0131na kar\u0131\u015fm\u0131\u015f birka\u00e7 yabani ot d\u0131\u015f\u0131nda hi\u00e7bir \u015fey yok. Ama
\ng\u00f6zlerimi kapatt\u0131\u011f\u0131mda, o hareketli g\u00fcnleri hayal etmek kolay oldu.
\nAgoran\u0131n ard\u0131ndan y\u00f6n\u00fcm\u00fc stadyuma \u00e7evirdim. 12 bin ki\u015fiyi a\u011f\u0131rlayabilen bu yap\u0131,
\nAnadolu\u2019nun en iyi korunmu\u015f antik stadyumlar\u0131ndan biri. Uzun oturma s\u0131ralar\u0131na
\nbakt\u0131\u011f\u0131mda, antik oyunlar\u0131n co\u015fkusunu duyar gibi oldum. Atletlerin yar\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131,
\nseyircilerin tezah\u00fcratlar\u0131n\u0131, belki de \u015fehrin ileri gelenlerinin gururla oturduklar\u0131 locay\u0131
\ng\u00f6z\u00fcmde canland\u0131rd\u0131m.
\n Biraz ilerideki tiyatro ise \u015fehrin k\u00fclt\u00fcrel ya\u015fam\u0131n\u0131n merkeziydi. Roma d\u00f6nemi
\ntiyatrolar\u0131n\u0131n tipik \u00f6zelli\u011fi olan sahne binas\u0131 h\u00e2l\u00e2 ayakta. Burada sergilenen oyunlar\u0131n
\nyaln\u0131zca e\u011flence de\u011fil, ayn\u0131 zamanda toplumsal ve politik bir i\u015flevi oldu\u011funu bilmek,
\ntiyatronun ta\u015flar\u0131na daha farkl\u0131 bir g\u00f6zle bakmam\u0131 sa\u011flad\u0131.
\nGezimin bir di\u011fer dura\u011f\u0131 hamam kompleksleri oldu. Roma\u2019n\u0131n g\u00fcnl\u00fck ya\u015fam\u0131nda
\nhamamlar\u0131n ne kadar \u00f6nemli oldu\u011funu biliyordum; yaln\u0131zca y\u0131kanma de\u011fil,
\nsosyalle\u015fme mek\u00e2n\u0131yd\u0131lar. Burada dola\u015f\u0131rken s\u0131cak, \u0131l\u0131k ve so\u011fuk b\u00f6l\u00fcmleri zihnimde
\ncanland\u0131rmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. \u0130nsanlar\u0131n sohbet ederek vakit ge\u00e7irdi\u011fi, \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n
\nko\u015fu\u015fturdu\u011fu, kentin nabz\u0131n\u0131n att\u0131\u011f\u0131 bir alan olmal\u0131yd\u0131.<\/p>\n
Perge\u2019nin tarihini okuduk\u00e7a, inan\u00e7lar\u0131n da bu kenti nas\u0131l \u015fekillendirdi\u011fini hat\u0131rlad\u0131m. \u0130lk
\nd\u00f6nemlerde tap\u0131naklarla dolu olan \u015fehir, Hristiyanl\u0131\u011f\u0131n yay\u0131lmas\u0131yla birlikte bamba\u015fka
\nbir kimli\u011fe b\u00fcr\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015f. Aziz Pavlus\u2019un buraya u\u011frad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 bilmek, ta\u015flara bamba\u015fka bir
\nanlam y\u00fckl\u00fcyor. Pagan tap\u0131naklar\u0131n\u0131n g\u00f6lgesinden y\u00fckselen kiliseler, de\u011fi\u015fen
\nzamanlar\u0131n sessiz tan\u0131klar\u0131.
\n G\u00fcn\u00fcn sonunda akropol\u00fcn tepesine \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131m. Buradan bak\u0131nca b\u00fct\u00fcn \u015fehir bir maket
\ngibi g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyordu: s\u00fctunlu caddeler, agora, stadyum, tiyatro\u2026 Hepsi suskun, ama
\nsuskunluklar\u0131n\u0131n i\u00e7inde g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc bir hik\u00e2ye bar\u0131nd\u0131r\u0131yorlar. G\u00fcne\u015f yava\u015f\u00e7a batarken
\nta\u015flar\u0131n \u00fczerine d\u00fc\u015fen g\u00f6lgeler uzad\u0131, sanki zaman yeniden eski g\u00fcnlerine d\u00f6nd\u00fc.
\nPerge\u2019den ayr\u0131l\u0131rken hissetti\u011fim \u015fey yaln\u0131zca bir gezi yapm\u0131\u015f olman\u0131n keyfi de\u011fildi.
