Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat.

  • Parerga to the Stadiasmus Patarensis (16): the Roads, Settlements and Territories
    GEPHYRA 13, 2016, 89-118 Parerga to the Stadiasmus Patarensis (16): The Roads, Settlements and Territories Fatih ONUR in memory of Prof. Dr. Sencer ŞAHİN In this paper, I discuss some issues concerning the relationship between roads, settlements and ter- ritories recorded in the Stadiasmus Patarensis (SP). Accepting that the SP was not a journey guide and that it just provided the length of the roads (R) constructed or renovated, and of course meas- ured, between almost all of the major and some minor settlements, I propose: firstly, that the roads between the settlements were from and into the settlements’ town zones; secondly, that the compo- sition of the road list took account of the territories of the settlements; thirdly, that all the settle- ments mentioned in the SP had an independence, which might have varied in different status. The paper opens by discussing the use of prepositions and articles in the SP, before addressing the courses of the roads. I shall then treat the probable start and end points of the roads, and dedicate a final section to the political status of the settlements and the related territorial issues. Before addressing these points, I believe that it should be firstly and precisely determined what was meant by the use of ὁδός on the SP at the top of side B. From the beginning of our research and publications, we have called these road connections, the “routes” (itinera) between settlements, Assoc.

Levent Erel1 and Fatih Adatepe2 1 İstanbul University, Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey 2 İstanbul University, Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey ________________________________________________________ Abstract During the historical periods, the Mediterranean region was divided in several areas, from west to east, the Carian (Menteşe), Lycian (Teke Peninsula), Pamphylia (Antalya Plain) and Cilician areas. Cilician was divided into the Mountains (Taşeli Peninsula) and Lowland Cilicia (Çukurova) regions. Further east behind the Amonos Mountains, Antiokheia (Antakya), was a completely seperate region. All these regions were shaken by numerous earthquakes produced by main fault systems from the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean. The major geological structures are Hellenic Trench, East Anatolian Fault, Ecemiş Fault and Dead Sea Fault in the region. Along with material destruction, earthquakes also result in tectonic rising of lands. This rising fills in ports and speeds up the process of ports getting shallow. Another negative consequence of earthquakes is the drying up of the water sources or the changing of their banks. Key words: Mediterranean coast, historical earthquakes, ancient cities Corresponding author: [email protected] 241 Introduction The coastal areas of Turkey neighboring the Mediterranean Sea have been subject to numerous destructive earthquakes. These earthquakes have largely given direction to certain historical events urban architecture and the way of the life of inhabitants.

PEREGRINE LAW IN ROMAN EGYPT n the last decades of the nineteenth century, the sudden irruption Iof an enormous mass of new sources on papyrus renewed all branches of the classical studies. For legal scholars, in the eve of the promulgation of the German Civil Code that would close the ‘Pandektenzeit’, the papyri helped steer Roman law studies into the realm of the historical dis- 1 ciplines. Yet, since Mitteis’ foundational Reichsrecht und Volksrecht, it became clear that the legal practice of the papyri was mostly not an illus- tration of the great classical Roman Law, but a continuation of the Greek 2 and Egyptian traditions: from the Roman point of view iura peregrinorum, ‘peregrine law’. Later evidence has only confirmed this result. * Thanks are due to my Warsaw colleagues in the Organisation of the 27th Congress of Papyrology for their generous insistence in entrusting me with one of the newly instituted keynote speeches.

  • The Contributions of Computational Imaging Methods in Archaeology: a Case Study in Termessos (Turkey)
    THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING METHODS IN ARCHAEOLOGY: A CASE STUDY IN TERMESSOS (TURKEY) Aykan AKÇAY* - Betül GÜREL** *Ph.D. Mediterranean Civilisations Research Institute, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey, [email protected] **Ph.D. Mediterranean Civilisations Research Institute, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey, [email protected] Abstract: This study focuses on the application of digital imaging methods, Photogrammetry (Structure from Motion) and Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) on a columnar sarcophagus located in the ancient city of Termessos (Turkey), E-1 necropolis. The work carried out on the sarcophagus produced results that contributed to the clarification of controversial issues from previous studies. With the help of the methods described here, figures depicted on the sarcophagus could be clarified and missing parts of the inscriptions could be added. The study shows the importance of preserving and documenting the artefacts and of observing the contributions of computational imaging methods to the archaeological and epigraphical research. Keywords: Digital Heritage, Photogrammetry, RTI, SfM, Documentation, Termessos, Archaeology 1. Introduction When we examine archaeological and epigraphical studies in general, we can see that besides the traditional techniques, the use of new digital imaging methods has increased in recent years. These methods make great contributions to the analysis processes of archaeological materials and attract the attention of researchers. The study presented here focuses on the application process and the analysis results of Photogrammetry (Structure from Motion) and Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) of a sarcophagus (no. L-224) located in the E-1 north-eastern necropolis of the ancient city of Termessos. 2. Termessos Ancient City: Columnar Sarcophagus The columnar sarcophagus no.

And so went this dissertation project: little by little quotidian efforts turned into something larger. But these drops, in fact, were not just my own efforts, nor were they always quotidian. The number of drops contributed by others is incalculable, but the impact is clear.

I am deeply thankful for my other committee members, Swati Chattopadhyay and Christine Thomas, for providing important outside perspectives and challenging me to go farther with my work.

COOLEY AND BENET SALWAY IGENERAL I.i General Introduction The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one.1 With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, signicant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in the various aids to understanding inscriptions (both traditional printed material and electronic resources). In the context of this journal, the geographical range and chronological scope reect the contours and history of the Roman state from its beginnings down to the end of the seventh century. As such, not only does the survey naturally take in Greek as well as Latin texts, but also epigraphic material in other languages relevant to the Roman world.
