Hellenistic Period
Housing
Both the archaic and the classical city have been largely covered by the impressive Hellenistic monuments.  Miletus remained an important civil and commercial centre of Ionia, with three harbours: the Harbour of Athena, the Harbour of the Theatre and the Harbour of Lions.
The most important buildings of the Hellenistic years were the Gymnasium of Eumenes II and the Gymnasium of Eudemus, the Theatre, the Stadium, the Bouleuterion and the South Agora. The walled area was drastically reduced in the difficult period the city went through during the first Mithradatic War (88-83 BC). This wall was strengthened by marble and limestone blocks, while a certain part of the wall was fortified with towers.
