Gordion, ancient capital of Phrygia, was a large and thriving city of secondary importance during the period of the Achaemenid Persian Empire (ca 550–333 BC). Recent work makes possible a reconsideration of the site: evaluating its architecture, finds and use of landscape within and after the socio-economic and administrative context of the Achaemenid imperial system enables the following new overview. During the Achaemenid period, Gordion’s populace participated in the broad cultural exchanges enabled by the imperial system and may have emphasised animal husbandry. When Alexander’s conquest led to the collapse of the Achaemenid administrative infrastructure, the impact on Gordion’s economy and cultural circumstance was profound. Its population plummeted, the architectural and spatial organisation of the site changed dramatically and new directions and means of trade and cultural interaction developed. Gordion’s archaeological remains reflect and emphasise the tremendous historical and political changes attending the end of the Empire and the beginning of the Hellenistic period.

在从阿契美尼德向希腊化世界过渡的戈迪安帝国的崩溃

Gordion 是弗里吉亚的古都，在阿契美尼德波斯帝国时期（约公元前 550-333 年）是一座大型而繁荣的次要城市。最近的工作使重新考虑该地点成为可能：在阿契美尼德帝国体系的社会经济和行政背景内和之后评估其建筑、发现和景观的使用，从而获得以下新的概述。在阿契美尼德时期，戈迪安的民众参与了由帝国制度促成的广泛文化交流，并且可能强调畜牧业。当亚历山大的征服导致阿契美尼德行政基础设施崩溃时，对戈迪安的经济和文化环境的影响是深远的。其人口锐减，该地点的建筑和空间组织发生了巨大变化，新的贸易和文化互动方向和手段得到了发展。戈迪安的考古遗迹反映并强调了伴随着帝国终结和希腊化时期开始的巨大历史和政治变化。
