Summary
| Description |
English: A section of the Titus Tunnel of Seleucia Pieria. It is believed that the tunnel/canal complex, measuring 1350-1400m in total lenght, was dug to divert the nearby river and prevent the harbour from silting up with time. A further reason is assumed to be to help reduce flooding caused during heavy winter rains.
Deutsch: Ein Abschnitt des Titus Tunnels in Seleukia Pieria. Es wird angenommen, dass der Tunnel/Kanal-Komplex mit einer Gesamtlänge von 1350-1400m zur Umleitung des Flusses diente um die Versandung des Hafens zu verhindern. Gleichzeitig diente es auch zur Verringerung von Überschwemmungen die besonders durch heftige Winterregen verursacht wurden.
Türkçe: Titus Tünelin bir kesiti. Toplam uzunluğu 1350-1400m olan tünel/kanal kompleksinin iki temel amaç doğrultusunda yapıldığı düşünülmektedir. Bunlardan biri şehrin yanından geçen akarsunun yatağının değiştirilerek limanın zamanla alüvyonlarla dolmasını önlemek, diğeri de özellikle kış aylarındaki sağanak yağmurların yol açtığı sel ve taşkın sorununu gidermek. |
