İmza Zerrin ERDİNÇ ÖNSÖZ Aizanoi Phrygia Bölgesi’nin en önemli kentlerinden birisidir. Hellenistik ve Roma dönemlerinde stratejik konumu ve Zeus Tapınağı ile bölgenin kilit noktası haline gelmiştir. Özellikle Roma Dönemi’nde Aizanoi territoryumuna verilen isim olan Aizanitis Bölgesi çevresindeki kentlerden daha önemli bir konumda yer almış, Meter Steunene kutsal alanı ve Zeus tapınağı ile çevre kentlerin de dini merkezi haline gelmiştir. 2016 yılından bu yana bu güzel kentte arkeolojiye emek veren bu harika ekibe dâhil olduğum için kendimi çok şanslı saymaktayım. Bana bu şansı veren ve inanarak bana bu malzemeyi emanet eden saygıdeğer hocam Prof. Dr. Elif Özer’e sonsuz teşekkürlerimi sunuyorum. Bu tez konusu beni her zaman ilk günkü gibi heyecanlandırdı.

Ancak daha önceki yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar hem bölgenin kapsadığı alan hem de mezar steli tipolojisi açısından boşluklar barındırmaktadır. Bu nedenle malzemenin toplu olarak değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. MÖ 2.yy.dan itibaren Aizanitis Bölgesinde görülen mezar stelleri dikdörtgen gövdeli ve üçgen alınlıklıdır. Ancak MS 1.yy.ın ikinci yarısından itibaren ortaya çıkan kapı biçimli mezar stelleri bölge için karakteristik özellikler barındırmaktadır. Genellikle dört panele ayrılmış kapılarda sol üst kapı panelinde çiçek, sağ üst panelde kilit ve alt panellerde baklava dilimi içinde kapı tokmağı şeması Aizanitis Bölgesi için karakteristiktir. MS 2.yy.ın ilk çeyreğinden sonra kentin ekonomik olarak en güçlü zamanlarını yaşadığı dönemde ortaya çıkan Suriye tipi alınlıklı mezar stelleri ile beraber steller üzerinde gördüğümüz bezeme unsurları zenginleşmiştir. Genel olarak mezar stelleri üzerindeki süslemeler kişinin yaşarken ki onurlu hayatı ve öldükten sonra nasıl hatırlanmak istediği ile ilgilidir. Erkek mezar stelleri üzerinde gördüğümüz aslanlar ve kartallar Aizanoi’da bulunan Meter Stuenene kutsal alanı ve Zeus Tapınağı ile alakalı olmasının yanı sıra güç sembolleridir. Kadına dair olarak karşımıza çıkan ayna, tarak ve kalathos gibi objeler ise kadının günlük yaşantısına işaret etmesinin yanında ailesine sadık, onurlu bir yaşam sürdüğünün simgesidir. Eşler ve diğer aile bireyleri için yapılmış çift veya daha fazla sayıda mezar steli geleneği Aizanitis Bölgesi’nde çevre kentlere göre daha fazla rastlanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte gelen Suriye tipi alınlıklarda bir tarafta avlanan erkek aslan ve diğer alınlıkta beslenen dişi aslan kombinasyonu Aizanitis Bölgesi’ne özgü en önemli bezeme öğesidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Aizanoi, Bezeme, Stel, Tipoloji. ii ABSTRACT GRAVESTONES OF AIZANITIS REGION Erdinç Zerrin Doctoral Thesis Classical Archaeology Department Doktora Programme Adviser of Thesis: Prof. Dr. Elif Özer February 2020, 458 Pages The territory of the city of Aizanoi, called the Aizanitis Region, contains rich data in terms of gravestones. However, the studies carried out in previous years contain gaps both in terms of the area covered and the typology of the grave stele. Therefore, the material needs to be evaluated collectively. The grave steles seen in the Aizanitis Region since the 2nd century BC have a rectangular body and a triangular pediment. However, the door-shaped grave steles that emerged from the second half of the 1st century AD have characteristic features for the region. Typically, for doors divided into four panels, the flower on the upper left panel, the lock on the upper right panel, and the knocker lozenge scheme on the lower panels are characteristic for the Aizanitis. After the first quarter of the 2nd century AD, the Syrian-type pediment tomb steles that emerged during the period when the city experienced the strongest economic times, and the decoration elements that we saw on the steles were enriched. In general, the decorations on the grave steles are related to the dignified life of the person living and how he wants to be remembered after his death. The lions and eagles we see on male tomb steles are related to the Sanctuary of Meter Steunene in Aizanoi and the Temple of Zeus, as well as symbols of power. The objects such as mirrors, combs and kalathos that we encounter in relation to women are a symbol of a loyal and honorable life as well as pointing to the daily life of the woman. Couple or more grave stele traditions for spouses and other family members are more common in the Aizanitis Region than in neighboring cities. However, the combination of male lion hunted on one side and female lion fed on the other pediment in the Syrian type pediments is the most important decoration element of the Aizanitis Region. Keywords: Aizanoi, Decortion, Stele, Typology. iii İÇİNDEKİLER ÖNSÖZ…………………………………………………………………………... i ÖZET.......................................................................................................... ii ABSTRACT................................................................................. ............... iii İÇİNDEKİLER............................................................................................ xi GİRİŞ......................................................................................................... 1 Amaç, Kapsam, Yöntem BİRİNCİ BÖLÜM AİZANİTİS BÖLGESİ VE ÇEVRESİNİN TARİHİ COĞRAFYASI VE YAPILAN ARAŞTIRMALAR 6 1.1.

    International Journal of Cultural Property (2006) 13:311–331. Printed in the USA. Copyright © 2006 International Cultural Property Society DOI: 10.1017/S0940739106060206 From Boston to Rome: Reflections on Returning Antiquities David Gill* and Christopher Chippindale** Abstract: The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum’s acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other objects that have followed the same route. The fabrication of old collections to hide the recent surfacing of antiquities is also explored. In October 2006 the MFA agreed to return to Italy a series of 13 antiquities (Ap- pendix). These included Attic, Apulian, and Lucanian pottery as well as a Roman portrait of Sabina and a Roman relief fragment.1 This return is forming a pattern as other museums in North America are invited to deaccession antiquities that are claimed to have been illegally removed from Italy. The evidence that the pieces were acquired in a less than transparent way is beginning to emerge. For example, a Polaroid photograph of the portrait of Sabina (Appendix no. 1) was seized in the raid on the warehousing facility of Giacomo Medici in the Geneva Freeport.2 Polaroids of two Apulian pots, an amphora (no. 9) and a loutrophoros (no. 11), were also seized.3 As other photographic and documentary evidence emerges dur- ing the ongoing legal case against Marion True and Robert E.

  • Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine
    COSMOLOGICAL NARRATIVE IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF LATE ROMAN-BYZANTINE PALESTINE Bradley Charles Erickson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Jodi Magness Zlatko Plese David Lambert Jennifer Gates-Foster Maurizio Forte © 2020 Bradley Charles Erickson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bradley Charles Erickson: Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine (Under the Direction of Jodi Magness) The night sky provided ancient peoples with a visible framework through which they could view and experience the divine. Ancient astronomers looked to the night sky for practical reasons, such as the construction of calendars by which time could evenly be divided, and for prognosis, such as the foretelling of future events based on the movements of the planets and stars. While scholars have written much about the Greco-Roman understanding of the night sky, few studies exist that examine Jewish cosmological thought in relation to the appearance of the Late Roman-Byzantine synagogue Helios-zodiac cycle. This dissertation surveys the ways that ancient Jews experienced the night sky, including literature of the Second Temple (sixth century BCE – 70 CE), rabbinic and mystical writings, and Helios-zodiac cycles in synagogues of ancient Palestine. I argue that Judaism joined an evolving Greco-Roman cosmology with ancient Jewish traditions as a means of producing knowledge of the earthly and heavenly realms. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my adviser, Dr.

    ANCIENT LAMPS THE J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM Ancient Lamps in the J. Paul Getty Museum presents over six hundred lamps made in production centers that were active across the ancient Mediterranean world between 800 B.C. and A.D. 800. Notable for their marvelous variety—from simple clay saucers GETTYIN THE PAUL J. MUSEUM that held just oil and a wick to elaborate figural lighting fixtures in bronze and precious metals— the Getty lamps display a number of unprecedented shapes and decors. Most were made in Roman workshops, which met the ubiquitous need for portable illumination in residences, public spaces, religious sanctuaries, and graves. The omnipresent oil lamp is a font of popular imagery, illustrating myths, nature, and the activities and entertainments of daily life in antiquity.

  • ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA Ed
    ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA ed. C.H. Turner (Oxford, 1899-1939) Index of Names and Selected Words Corrected, revised, and extended 2008 by Philip R. Amidon, S.J. Creighton University [email protected] It has seemed opportune to republish this index in a corrected and extended version; there has been added to the list of names a list of selected words, and the method of referring to the text has been somewhat altered. The exact scope of C.H. Turner’s masterpiece is not immediately apparent from its title or subtitles (Canonum et conciliorum graecorum interpretationes latinae; Canones et concilia graeca ab antiquis interpretibus latine reddita). What one in fact finds here is an edition of the earliest surviving collections of church canons in Latin which are undoubtedly from the fourth century or have been assigned to it by at least some consensus of scholarship; some of them are translations from Greek, while others were originally drafted in Latin itself. Most of them, with the exception of the Apostolic Constitutions and Canons, are attributed to church councils. Turner, however, also offers a selection of doctrinal and historical material of enormous value, some of it indeed connected to the councils whose canons he edits; a comparison, for instance, of the creed contained in the synodical letter of the Council of Sardica with the Tomus Damasi, will suggest how far the doctrinal education of the western church advanced during the course of the fourth century. The connection of other historical matter to the canons is less obvious, however; one wonders what the Athanasian Historia acephala is doing here (granted that it is part of the collection of Theodosius the Deacon), however grateful one is to have the edition.

For a science of religion which regards only instrumental 4 since acts action as meaningful, magic must be seen as the origin of religion, Ritual and Sanctuary which seek to achieve a given goal in an unclear but direct way are magical. The goal then appears to be the attainment of all desirable boons and the elimination of possible impediments: there is rain magic, fertility magic, love magic, and destructive magic. The conception of ritual as a kind of language, however, leads beyond this constraining artifice; magic is present only insofar as ritual is consciously placed in the service of some end — which may then undoubtedly affect the form of the ritual. Religious ritual is given as a collective institution; the individual participates within the framework of social communication, with the strongest motivating force being the need not in the study of religion which came to be generally acknowledged to stand apart. Conscious magic is a matter for individuals, for the few, and An insight are more important and end of the last century is that rituals is developed accordingly into a highly complicated pseudo-science.

  • Université De Montréal the Cult of Apollo in the Milesian Colonies
    Université de Montréal The cult of Apollo in the Milesian colonies along the coast of the Black Sea: an inventory of archaeological data Par Patrick Bisaillon Département d’études classiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de M.A. en études classiques option Archéologie classique Mars 2017 © Patrick Bisaillon, 2017 ii iii Abstract Greek colonisation in the Archaic period had as its goal the expansion and the exportation of a city state’s social and religious customs into different regions. Although the subject of Greek colonisation is often vague, and based on erroneous, and generous primary sources, which can confound links between the colonies and their apparent mother city, a connection can nevertheless be established between the colonies in the Black Sea and the mother city of Miletus through the religious institutions that were installed upon colonisation. The cult of the god Apollo was prevalent throughout the ancient Greek world during the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. For the Archaic period colonizing Greek city state of Miletus, Apollo was patron deity, the god of colonisation, as well as the god of seafaring. For the Milesians, Apollo was the deity who sanctioned the right to set up new cults in new locations, as well as authorising the very act of establishing colonies. In the colonies founded by Miletus located along the coast of the Black Sea, there is a clear disposition towards the cult of Apollo in the literary tradition, as well as in the archaeological record.

The delay is owing to a succession of most lamentable misfortunes. Mr. M'Lennan had originally contemplated the produc. tion of a great work on early society, which should have collected and presented in a better form all his pre· viously published investigations,. together with the results of his later study, and which should in particular· have thrown some light on the origin of exogamy. Despairing, in his state of health, of ever executing this project, he decided to publish an intermediate volume to supply its place, but even this intention was frus· trated by, his death. His brother, Mr. D. M'Lennan, then took up the task, for which he was eminently fitted. He completed from Mr. J. F.
