XI. St. Paul's Road from Cilicia to Iconium
PAULINE AND OTHER STUDIES IN EARLY CHRISTIAN HISTORY BY W. M. RAM SAY, HoN. D.C.L., ETC. PROF~~SOR OF HUMANITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN HODDER AND STOUGHTON LONDON MCMVI XI ST. PAUL'S ROAD FROM CILICIA TO I CONIUM XI ST. PAUL'S ROAD FROM CILICIA TO !CONIUM THE western part of Cilicia is a triangular plain, whose b}lse is the sea, and whose apex lies in a corner formed by the Taurus Mountains bounding Cilicia on the north. In the apex the river Saros issues from its wonderfully romantic course of more than a hundred miles through the lofty Taurus and enters the low sea plain. There was a time when this level plain was a great gulf of the sea. The gulf has been gradually filled up by the two great Cilician rivers, the Pyramos and the Saros, probably aided by slight elevations of the level of the land ; 1 and of the two rivers the Saros has been the chief agent in determining the character of the plain. The road from Syria and the East enters the western Cilician plain by a pass through which the Pyramos also enters the plain. At the western end of this pa:ss the river turns down towards the south, and the road crosses it by a large bridge (Fig. ro). The crossing has always been a highly important point in all military operations in Cilicia. A gar rison and a fortress had to be placed there to guard the passage of the river. Thus arose the city of Mopsou-Hestia, "the Hearth of Mopsus" (the Greek prophet and interpreter of the will of the Greek god Apollo, who marks the advance of the old Ionian colonists into the Cilician land). -
Civic Responses to the Rise and Fall of Sol Elagabal in the Roman Empire
EMPIRE OF THE SUN? CIVIC RESPONSES TO THE RISE AND FALL OF SOL ELAGABAL IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Martijn Icks During its long and turbulent history, the city of Rome witnessed many changes in its religious institutions and traditions. For many centuries, these came to pass under the benevolent eye of Iupiter Optimus Maximus, the city‟s supreme deity since time immemorial. Not until the fourth century AD would Iupiter finally loose this position to the monotheistic, omnipotent God of Christianity. However, the power of the thunder god had been challenged before. The first deity who temporarily conquered his throne was Sol Invictus Elagabal, a local sun god from the Syrian town of Emesa. This unlikely usurper was the personal god of the emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, whose short-lived reign lasted from 218 to 222 AD, and who has been nicknamed Elagabalus for his affiliation with Elagabal. Even before his rise to power, Elagabalus served as Elagabal‟s high priest. The deity was worshipped in the form of a conical black stone, a so-called baitylos or “house of god”, which resided in a big temple in Emesa. Elagabalus, at that time a fourteen-year-old boy, performed ritual dances in honour of his god. By doing so, he drew the attention of Roman soldiers who were stationed near the town. They proclaimed the boy emperor under the false pretense that he was a bastard son of emperor Caracalla (211-217 AD). Elagabalus won sufficient military support, defeated the reigning emperor and thus gained the throne. He installed himself in Rome and took his god with him. -

Dönemin önemli şehirlerinden günümüze neredeyse hiçbir arkeolojik kalıntı ulaşmamıştır. Dönem kaynaklarından yola çıkılarak kentlerin Geç Antik Çağ’daki durumları hakkında bazı bilgiler edinilebilmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalar ile lokalizasyonu yapılabilen yerleşimler genel olarak köy bazen de kasaba ölçeğini geçmezler. Bu çalışmada Geç Antik Çağ’ın Anadolu’daki yerleşimlerinin durumları genel olarak ele alındıktan sonra, aynı dönemde Kapadokya’daki kent yerleşimleri incelenmiştir. Yerleşim yerlerinin tespitinde dönem kaynakları ve modern dönem çalışmalarından faydalanılmıştır. Kapadokya Bölgesi’nde bu döneme ait kalıntıların günümüze ulaştığı üç yerleşim yeri özellikle dikkat çekicidir. Bunlardan Mokissos ve Tyana kent statüsüne sahip, başkentlik yapmış yerleşim yerleriyken, Sobesos daha küçük ölçekli bir piskoposluk merkezidir. Özellikle Kemerhisar’da (Tyana) gerçekleştirilen kazılar ile Helvadere (Mokissos) ve Şahinefendi’de (Sobesos) gerçekleştirilecek arkeolojik kazı çalışmaları bölgenin Geç Antik Çağ yerleşimleri hakkında daha detaylı bilgi edinilmesinde önemli bir rol oynayacaktır. Çalışma Kapadokya’ya has bir kurum olan “Comes Domorum Per Cappadociam” ın anlaşılmasında bir ön çalışma olarak düşünülmüştür. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kapadokya, Geç Antik Çağ, Bizans Sanatı. -

ESKİ ANADOLU UYGARLIKLARI 1. 1. Paleolitik Çağ (Eski Taş Çağı / Yontma Taş Çağı) Anahtar Kelime: İnsanlık tarihinin başlangıcı, avcılık, toplayıcılık, konar-göçer yaşam, alet üretimi. Paleolitik kavramı, 1865 yılında J. Lubbock tarafından Eski Taş Çağ’ını ifade etmek için ortaya atılmıştır. Paleolitik Çağ, insanlık tarihinin ilk basamağını oluşturmasının yanı sıra, bu tarihi sürecin %99’undan daha uzun bir bölümünü kapsamaktadır. Günümüzden yaklaşık 2.5 milyon yıl önce, insanın Afrika kıtasında ilk aleti üretmesiyle başlamış, yine Yakındoğu’da günümüzden yaklaşık 20 bin, Avrupa’da ise 10 bin yıl önce sona ermiştir. Üretim öncesi evreleri temsil eden Paleolitik uygarlıklar, üretim sonrası yerleşik yaşamın ürünü olan uygarlıkların aksine, belirli bir coğrafya ile sınırlandırılamazlar. Zira bu uygarlıklar dünya genelinde yer yer yayılmış olup, benzer özelikler sergilemektedirler. Paleolitik kültürler, IV. jeolojik zamanın ilk ve en eski evresi olan pleistosen boyunca gelişmişlerdir. Bu evrede dünya dört büyük buzullaşmaya sahne olmuştur. Buzullar kuzey yarım kürenin orta enlemlerine kadar yayılmışlardır. Buna karşılık Afrika kıtası gibi Anadolu da bu buzul takkesinin uzağında kalmış, dolayısıyla yaşama elverişli koşulları sunmuştur. Paleolitik insanlar, tükettikleri besinleri üretmeyi bilmiyorlar, ancak Doğa’nın kendilerine sunduğu yabani hayvansal ve bitkisel kaynaklarla yetinerek avcı-toplayıcı bir ekonomik modelle yaşamlarını sürdürüyorlardı. Avladıkları su aygırı, gergedan, fil gibi kalın derili memelileri av alanlarına yakın yerlerde parçalıyorlardı. Buralar kasaplık işlemlerinin gerçekleştirildiği “et parçalama atölyeleri” idi. Paleolitik insanlar, iklim dolayısıyla çevre koşullarındaki değişimlere paralel olarak yeni besin kaynakları aramak ve av hayvanlarını izlemek üzere küçük gruplar halinde yer değiştiriyorlardı. -

World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Vol:9, No:3, 2015 Historical Geography of Lykaonia Region Asuman Baldiran, Erdener Pehlivan Abstract—In this study, the root of the name Lykaonia and the geographical area defined as Lykaonia Region are mentioned. In this context, information concerning the settlements of Paleolithic Age, Neolithic Age and Chalcolithic Age are given place. Particularly the settlements belonging to Classical Age are localized and brief information about the history of these settlements is provided. In the light of this information, roads of Antique period in the region are evaluated. Keywords—Ancient Cities, Central Anatolia, Historical Geography, Lykaonia Region. I. INTRODUCTION N Hittite texts, the overall region of Central Anatolia is I called “Luviya”. Hittites divided Anatolia into different geographical regions. It is considered the name “Lukkuwaniya” used for Central Anatolia transformed into Lykaonia in process of time [1], [2]. In the region, following the archeological researches carried byy Solecki, Farrand, Kokten and French, areas which provide Fig. 1 Paleolithic settlements in the region Lykaonia Paleolithic materials has been determined and the main ones of these areas are as such: Kurtunini Cave in the west of Lake Sugla [3]. This cave is an important place in terms of providing the Paleolithic material. Another residence is Pinarbasi Cave which is within the boundaries of Adakale Village in Karaman and which is located near Hotamis Lake spring [3]. This cave is also an important localization providing Paleolithic materials. Tursunlu which is within the booundaries of Aksehir District in Konya city and which provides singular findings is an important localization [4]. -

Byzantine Names for SCA Personae
1 A Short (and rough) Guide to Byzantine Names for SCA personae This is a listing of names that may be useful for constructing Byzantine persona. Having said that, please note that the term „Byzantine‟ is one that was not used in the time of the Empire. They referred to themselves as Romans. Please also note that this is compiled by a non-historian and non-linguist. When errors are detected, please let me know so that I can correct them. Additional material is always welcomed. It is a work in progress and will be added to as I have time to research more books. This is the second major revision and the number of errors picked up is legion. If you have an earlier copy throw it away now. Some names of barbarians who became citizens are included. Names from „client states‟ such as Serbia and Bosnia, as well as adversaries, can be found in my other article called Names for other Eastern Cultures. In itself it is not sufficient documentation for heraldic submission, but it will give you ideas and tell you where to start looking. The use of (?) means that either I have nothing that gives me an idea, or that I am not sure of what I have. If there are alternatives given of „c‟, „x‟ and „k‟ modern scholarship prefers the „k‟. „K‟ is closer to the original in both spelling and pronunciation.

Why Derbe? an Unlikely Lycaonian City for Paul’S Ministry
Tyndale Bulletin 70.1 (2019) 55-84 WHY DERBE? AN UNLIKELY LYCAONIAN CITY FOR PAUL’S MINISTRY Bob Wagner and Mark Wilson ([email protected] / [email protected]) Summary This article discusses Paul’s visit to Derbe contextually within the first journey as well as his subsequent visits to this minor Lycaonian city. It reviews the difficulty of earlier travellers and scholars such as Davis, Sterrett, and Ramsay to localise the site. The discovery of two inscriptions naming Derbe have more precisely situated the site, yet some ambiguity remains. Paul’s projected routes between Lystra and Derbe as presented in maps and atlases are reviewed. The authors’ autopsy of this area provides fresh insights into Paul’s route between the two cities. The article closes with a suggested reason why Paul visited Derbe on his first journey and thereby founded a community of believers there. 1. Historical Background Derbe was an unlikely city to be evangelised by Paul, for it was a minor settlement on a spur of the Southern Highway and apparently without a Jewish community. Derbe begins to feature in Greco-Roman history in the first century BC through the writings of various Greek and Latin authors. Located in southern Lycaonia (Fig. 1), the region was attached to the Attalid kingdom after the Treaty of Apamea (188 BC), then to the province of Asia after its founding in 129 BC, and finally to the province of Cilicia in the mid-first century BC.1 Whether the territory of Isauria included Derbe has been debated. Derbe was the 1 Sviatoslav Dmitriev, ‘Observations on the Historical Geography of Roman Lycaonia’, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies 41 (2000): 349. -

Observations on the Historical Geography of Roman Lycaonia Sviatoslav Dmitriev
Observations on the Historical Geography of Roman Lycaonia Sviatoslav Dmitriev ONCERNING LYCAONIA not much evidence has survived from pre-Roman times.1 Neither Homer nor Herodotus refers to it. Xenophon seems to be the only Greek Chistorian before the second century B.C. who mentions this territory, and solely when discussing non-Greek affairs far from Hellas. Lycaonia became noticeable with the coming of the Romans: it figured prominently in the accounts of the Apamean peace treaty (188 B.C.), which gave Lycaonia to the Attalids, who controlled it till the end of their dynasty. After the sub- sequent revolt of Aristonicus was suppressed in 129, Lycaonia was given to the kings of Cappadocia. Soon afterwards, how- ever, Lycaonia is found as a district (eparcheia) under the control of the governor of the province of Asia. By the mid-first century B.C., the district of Lycaonia had been attached to the province of Cilicia, which was governed by Cicero in 51/0. It is from the first century B.C. that we start to have most of our evidence about Lycaonia.2 1 I cite the following by authors’ names: S.
