    Determination of the type and origin of stone tesseras used in Antiochian mosaics, Museum Hotel example
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-09-08) Aydın, Mahmut; Kavşut, Fatima
    This study was carried out to determine the type and resources of stone tessera taken from parcel no 4642 (Museum Hotel) mosaics in Hatay province. Archaeometric analysis was performed on 60 tessera samples belonging to 6 different mosaics. In the scope of the study, color analysis, P-XRF and petrographic thin section optical microscopy analysis were performed on tessera samples. As a result of the analyzes, the color components of the tesserae were documented. According to the results of P-XRF analysis; main, artifact, transition and presence of rare earth elements were determined. At the same time, because the majority of tessera is composed of limestone, it is determined that there are high Ca elements in their structures and these results support the results obtained by petrography analysis. According to petrography analysis; the majority of the tessera are limestone, siltstone, clay stone and radiolarite rock species and just one rock type is not determined. It is concluded that these rock types are found in Antakya and surrounding of the region. When the tissue characteristics of tesserae samples were evaluated, it was seen that the tesserae belonging to the limestone species had micritic and sparitic texture and the other rock types had crystalline and clastic texture. When the hardness levels of tesserae samples were examined, it was found that the hardest tesserae was tesserae of the radiolith rock type (4,5- 5 mohs) and the others were generally (2- 3 mohs).

    İncirli köyü Martyrium mozaikleri ve Hatay mozaikleri arasındaki yeri
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-08-27) Çelik, Ömer
    İncirli Köyü Martyrium Mozaikleri, Hatay İli, Kırıkhan İlçesi, İncirli Köyünde’dir. Martyrium da üç mekân tespit edilmiştir. Plan vermeyen mimari, düzensiz dere taşları ve kalker bloklarla yapılmıştır. Mekânlarda açığa çıkarılan mozaikler üç panodan meydana gelmiştir. Hatay genelinde kilise, bazilika veya martyrium kazılarında ortaya çıkarılan mozaiklerde cennet tasvirli konular sık işlendiği gibi dini olaylar, portreler, hayvan, bitki ve geometrik motifler de işlenmiştir. Hatay’da çıkarılan mozaiklerin kompozisyonlarının İncirli Köyü Martyrium Mozaikleri ile benzer yanları olduğu gibi farklılıkları da bulunmaktadır. Hatay’da bulunan sivil ve dini mekânlarda yapılan mozaik döşemelerindeki konu, kompozisyon, figür, motif ve bordürler incelendiğinde, İS 2. yüzyılda başlayan sanatsal süreç, Antakya’da bulunan diğer Doğu Roma mozaiklerinde ifade edildiği gibi İncirli Köyü Martyrium Mozaiği’nde de İS 6. yüzyıla kadar izlenmektedir.

    The revival of interest in representing plays of Menander in the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD: A historical and art-historical phenomenon
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-09-19) Parrish, David
    An important revival in representing plays of Menander in private homes, in the form of both mosaics and frescoes, occurred primarily in the eastern part of the Roman empire in the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD, with a limited echo felt in the west. The present article tries to explain why and how this artistic phenomenon took place, and a review of the relevant works of art and their chronology is presented in this interpretation. The discussion also refers to the frequent depiction of theater masks in well-to-do households, and the related custom of presenting theatrical entertainment at the banquet or “dinner theater.” Also significant for our purpose are the continued vitality of theater festivals throughout the Greek-speaking provinces during the first half of the 3rd century, and the retrospective attitude of the Second Sophistic, with its high esteem for classical drama of the past. This outlook was focused on Athens, and it had great admiration for the plays of Menander and Euripides. One additional feature influencing the artistic renewal in question is the high value placed on Menander’s plays as models of literary expression in the curriculum of schools, especially for training students in rhetoric and declamation. Collectively, all of the factors mentioned above contributed to the Menander revival in the visual arts during the period specified.
