In Search of the Module in the Architectural Design of the ‘Hellenistic’ House in Nea Paphos, Cyprus

Research reveals that the 'Hellenistic' House in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, exhibits architectural design principles rooted in mathematical harmony, specifically adhering to Ptolemaic artistic traditions despite its Roman-era construction. By applying metrology studies and cosine quantograms, the study identifies a module system governing both the general layout and decorative elements of the residence. This dual analytical approach clarifies the predominant stylistic influence within a multicultural archaeological context, offering insights into the origins and evolution of Graeco-Roman architectural traditions.
