Summary
Metropolis, where located in Torbalı district of Izmir, is an Ionian city that stands out especially with its preserved structures from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The project is carried out on theatre building of Metropolis ancient city which built in the middle of the 2nd century BC. The project, which contains the work and researches aimed at understanding the infrastructure and drainage line of the theater, was carried out between 2019-2021 and concluded. The basis of the infrastructure works implemented during the construction of the theater and in the subsequent repair phases is the expulsion of the water accumulated in the theater. For this purpose, drainage channels and chambers were created in the orchestra and koilon. With the project, the infrastructure line formed by these canals and reservoirs is discussed and engineering is explained with examples. The stages in which the canals and chambers built within the scope of infrastructure works are applied in the theater and what changes or repairs they undergo in the later stages are among the topics discussed and evaluated within the scope of the research. In addition, the connection of euripus, the wastewater channel in the orchestra, to the city sewer line has been the subject of research. Keywords: Metropolis, Ionia, Theater, Drainage, Canal.
