EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN 397 Antakya Adana © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Skenderun © Lonely Planet Publications 397 Eastern Mediterranean Turkey’s Eastern Mediterranean means different things to different people. For holidaying EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN Europeans, it’s a radiant and razzle-dazzle beach paradise, with the calm ocean and high-rise resorts around Side and Alanya stretching further than the eye can see. Sometimes referred to as the Turkish Riviera, this part of the Eastern Med tends to fill up to an almost unbear- able degree during the high season. But arrive just before or after the crowds, and you’ll find largely empty beaches and discounted guesthouses. To get a feel for how the Turks themselves holiday, make your way through the rugged and twisting mountain range to the east and head towards the resort areas of Anamur and Kızkalesi. Visiting Turks – and Western archaeology students – treat this part of the country as an open-air museum, because of the massive amount of impressive ruins scattered about. Once the craggy mountain range flattens out into the wide-open Cukurova Plain to the east, the cities become much larger, more metropolitan and more imposing. Tourists are almost nonexistent in the large industrial cities of Merlin, Adana and İskenderun. However, those who do choose to brave the urban hustle are rewarded with rarely visited nearby sites, such as the Roman fortress city of Anazarbus, just northeast of Adana. The Armenian retreat of Yılankale is also close, as are a number of important Hittite and Christian sites. The vibe and energy of the Eastern Mediterranean takes on a considerable change south of İskenderun, due to the area’s proximity to the Syrian border. Here is one of Turkey’s most fascinating mixes of cultures, religions and languages. In towns such as Antakya you’ll find Sunnis, Alevis and Orthodox Christians living side by side, and spoken Arabic can still be heard on the streets.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Tarsus Köylü Garaji Mezari Buluntulari
    Anadolu / Anatolia 31, 2006 F. Yurtseven TARSUS KÖYLÜ GARAJI MEZARI BULUNTULARI Figen YURTSEVEN Anahtar Kelimeler: Tarsus Müzesi • mezar odası • cam • pişmiş toprak • lahit Keywords: Tarsus Museum • tomb • Glass • terra cotta • Sarkophage Özet: 1993 yılında Tarsus Müze Müdürlüğü tarafından, Tarsus’da Köylü Garajı mevkiinde yapılan kur- tarma kazısında taş bir mezar odası saptanır. Tarsus’a yeni bir Emniyet Müdürlüğü binası yapılırken, temel atma sırasında mezara rastlanır. Burada yapılan kurtarma çalışmaları sırasında mezar ve bulun- tuların belgelenememiş ve mezarın da fotoğrafları çekilememiştir. Günümüzde görülen rektagonal taş örgülü bir mezar odasıdır. Oda, dikdörtgen planlı ve üzeri tonoz örtülüdür. Söz konusu mezarda bulunan toplam altmış adet eser, Tarsus Müzesi koleksiyonundadır. Bunlar pişmiş toprak, cam ve bronz buluntulardır. Mezardan ele geçen buluntuların çoğunluğu cam eserler- den oluşmaktadır ve bunlar unguentarium’lar, minyatür parfüm şişeleri, bir tane hurma biçimli şişe, si- lindirik şişe ve bardak örneklerinden oluşur. Pişmiş toprak unguentarium, vazo ve çömlekler, bronz tek kulplu sürahi ve patera diğer buluntulardır. M.S. 1.-2. yüzyıla ait buluntular veren mezar, o döneme ait Tarsus’ta kullanımda olan cam, pişmiş toprak ve madeni vazolar hakkında bilgi edinmemizi sağlamaktadır. Zusammenfassung: Die Funde aus dem Grabkammer bei „Köylü Garajı“ in Tarsus. Während einer Notgrabung im Jahre 1993 in Tarsus unter der Leitung des Tarsus Museums, not- wendig geworden durch die Bauarbeiten für ein neues Polizeipräsidiums dort, traf man in der Nähe von „Köylü Garajı“ (Busgarage) auf eine steinerne Grabkammer. Eine genaue Skizzierung unter- blieb, und das Grab konnte auch nicht fotografiert werden. Die Grabkammer ist aus großen Stein- quadern erbaut worden, hat einen rechteckigen Grundriss und ein Tonnengewölbe. Bei der erwähnten Notgrabung wurden 60 Objekte aus Glas, Terrakotten oder Bronze gefunden und in die Bestände des Tarsus Museums überführt.

  • Ptolemaic Foundations in Asia Minor and the Aegean As the Lagids’ Political Tool
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 20 (2013): 57–76 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.13.004.1433 PTOLEMAIC FOUNDATIONS IN ASIA MINOR AND THE AEGEAN AS THE LAGIDS’ POLITICAL TOOL Tomasz Grabowski Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Abstract: The Ptolemaic colonisation in Asia Minor and the Aegean region was a signifi cant tool which served the politics of the dynasty that actively participated in the fi ght for hegemony over the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea basin. In order to specify the role which the settlements founded by the Lagids played in their politics, it is of considerable importance to establish as precise dating of the foundations as possible. It seems legitimate to acknowledge that Ptolemy II possessed a well-thought-out plan, which, apart from the purely strategic aspects of founding new settlements, was also heavily charged with the propaganda issues which were connected with the cult of Arsinoe II. Key words: Ptolemies, foundations, Asia Minor, Aegean. Settlement of new cities was a signifi cant tool used by the Hellenistic kings to achieve various goals: political and economic. The process of colonisation was begun by Alex- ander the Great, who settled several cities which were named Alexandrias after him. The process was successfully continued by the diadochs, and subsequently by the follow- ing rulers of the monarchies which emerged after the demise of Alexander’s state. The new settlements were established not only by the representatives of the most powerful dynasties: the Seleucids, the Ptolemies and the Antigonids, but also by the rulers of the smaller states. The kings of Pergamum of the Attalid dynasty were considerably active in this fi eld, but the rulers of Bithynia, Pontus and Cappadocia were also successful in this process.1 Very few regions of the time remained beyond the colonisation activity of the Hellenistic kings.

This thesis offers the first full assessment of the thirteenth century principality of Antioch since the publication of Claude Cahen’s La Syrie du nord à l’époque des croisades et la principauté franque d’Antioche in 1940. It examines the Latin principality from its devastation by Saladin in 1188 until the fall of Antioch eighty years later, with a particular focus on its relationship with the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia. This thesis shows how the fate of the two states was closely intertwined for much of this period. The failure of the principality to recover from the major territorial losses it suffered in 1188 can be partly explained by the threat posed by the Cilician Armenians in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.
