Abstract:<\/strong> This study analyzes twenty-two inscriptions along the main street of ancient Phaselis, ap\u00adproach\u00ading them not solely as philological documents but as architectural components that structure urban memory. Guided by H. Lefebvre\u2019s concept of produced space and K. Lynch\u2019s theory of urban imagea\u00adbility, the anal\u00adysis examines whether the spatial relationship between inscription types and ar\u00adchitectural contexts reflects intentional civic strategies. Statistical evaluation reveals a clear hierarchy in architectural integration: impe\u00adrial dedications show structural incorporation at 66.7%, hon\u00adorific inscriptions at 25%, and ag\u00adonistic honors at 0%. Chronological clustering indicates that integration is con\u00adcentrated between 93 and 146 CE, reaching its peak during Hadrianus\u2019 syn\u00adchronized monumental pro\u00adgram in 130\/131 CE. These patterns demonstrate that epigraphic place\u00adment was shaped not only by local aesthetic or pragmatic considerations but also by broader imperial frameworks influenced by the stability of the Pax Romana<\/em> and the public sphere of the Second So\u00adphistic. The study conceptualizes inscriptions as an interface that links memory, space, and civic rep\u00adresentation, showing that epigraphic documents functioned as active archi\u00adtectural agents within Ro\u00adman urban design. In doing so, it establishes a theo\u00adretical model for understanding how the epigraphic landscape of Phaselis participated in the production and perpetuation of urban memory.<\/p>\n
