	Lecture 8: Greek Urban Planning
		Hippodamos (Hippodamus) is usually seen as responsible for "inventing" orthogonal planning, yet some elements existed earlier.
		Hippodamos, however, was responsible for the laying out of Piraeus (the port of Athens) at some point during the second quarter of the 5th century B.C. and he took part in the foundation of the colony of Thurii in southern Italy in 444/3BC.
		It is not certain what role Hippodamos actually played in this development: he may have been a "codifier," who took the ideas of others and wrote about them in a theoretical way, saying how cities should be laid out.

	ANFITEATRO ROMANO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The layout of the city of Ariminum followed the gridiron plan invariably used by the Romans for their new colonies, based on the ideal city devised by Hippodamos of Miletus, an architect who was active in the first half of the century BC.
		Hippodamos perfected the idea of a city with streets arranged parallel to two perpendicular axes, the main street or 'decumanus maximus' and a secondary street, the cardo maximus These met in the main square, and the rest of the city was divided into square or rectangular 'islands', destined for public, private or sacred use.
		In Rimini, these 'islands' are bot infrequently discovered during building work or archaeological exca- vations, revealing examples of the typical Roman home, the 'domus', with exceptio- nal mosaic floors that demostrate the high living standards offered by these buil- dings.

		The gridplan introduced by Hippodamos was later to form the basis of town-planning in all Roman cities.
		As a result of the silting caused by the alluvium washed down by the Meander the city now lies at a distance of several kilometres from the sea.
		After 402 B.C. the city came entirely under Persian rule and in the 4th century was ruled by Carian satraps subject to the Persians.

		"Hippodamos planned a city with a population of ten thousand, divided into three parts, one of skilled workers, one of agriculturists, and a third to bear arms and secure defense.
