Abstract
During a rescue excavation at the site of ancient Miletos conducted by the staff of the Miletos Museum, four terracotta plaques belonging to one of the Anatolian heros cults were recovered. These examples are distinguished by their find spots. While similar plaques from other cities were votive offerings from around sanctuaries, in Miletos these plaques were found in a tomb context. The rituals of this cult are not completely known, but it is thought that the cult might have been influential around the Aegean coastal strip of Thrace, Troas, Aeolis and Ionia. This article presents these four new examples and aims to contextualise them in respect to previous finds and works.
