Recent Research in Nicomedia
The initial archaeological work (2001– 2018) in the densely populated modern Çukurbağ neighbourhood of İzmit (ancient Nicomedia) in Türkiye uncovered a Tetrarchic imperial complex’s Aula, adorned with numerous sculptures and painted marble reliefs — known as the Nicomedia frieze — featuring imperial and agonistic depictions. The 2022 excavations, following the expropriation and demolition of a modern house at the site, have exposed more aspects o…
Myth and eponymy on the tetrarchic frieze from Nicomedia
Situated at the NE corner of the Propontis, Nicomedia (modern İzmit) was a major urban centre throughout history. Since the ancient city is buried directly beneath the modern industrial Turkish one, little was known archaeologically until recently 1 when a series of painted reliefs, part of a continuous marble frieze of which c .55 m in length have been uncovered, was discovered in the Çukurbağ district. They contain a remarkable combination of i…
The new corpus of painted Imperial Roman marble reliefs from Nicomedia
This paper presents an initial report on the extant polychromy on the remarkable series of Roman marble state relief sculptures excavated at a newly discovered Tetrarchic imperial building complex in Nicomedia (Turkey). The reliefs, featuring imperial and other diverse subject matters, retain extensive ancient coloration. A brief discussion of the history of the discovery and excavations surrounding these reliefs and the current Tübitak Archaeolo…
A New Tetrarchic Relief from Nicomedia
Ancient Nicomedia, the most important capital of the eastern Roman empire during the Tetrarchy, now lies below the modern industrial city of İzmit. The first systematic archaeological research on Diocletian's capital, supported with a grant from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TüBİTAK), examines a series of monumental reliefs and statues from a terraced imperial cult complex, found in the Çukurbağr district at the hea…
A Terracotta Treasure at Assos
During the summer of 1995, Turkish archaeologists discovered a unique Late Classical tomb in the Western Necropolis of Assos. A modestly designed cist grave, Tomb 4 surprised excavators with the richest cache of grave goods ever found at the ancient city. The 62 well-preserved artifacts, which date from the 4th century BCE, when Aristotle's school of philosophy was active at Assos, consist of terracotta figurines, gold and bronze jewelry, and vas…
The sculpture of the Heroon of Perikle at Limyra
As one of the many monumental tombs of fourth-century BC Anatolia, the Heroon of Perikle at Limyra is usually overshadowed by the earlier and better preserved Nereid Monument of Xanthos. Its owner, Perikle, is seen as either a mediocre pro-Achaemenid dynast or a fan of his namesake, the Athenian strategos, a view reflected in previous assessments of the stylistic pedigree of the tomb’s ornamentation. But a re-examination of the Heroon’s sculptura…
