White Marble Votive Reliefs from Pautalia in Roman Thrace and Their Role in Eastern Provincial Connectivity
This study presents the results of an archaeometric investigation of white marble votive reliefs from the Roman city of Pautalia (modern Kyustendil, Bulgaria), with the aim of clarifying patterns of material selection, production, and connectivity within the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire. Although these votive monuments, primarily dated to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, have long been examined from stylistic, iconographic, and epigraphic p…
From quarry to code
First comprehensive provenance study of white marble from inland Roman Thrace (Chatalka region). • Integrated multi-proxy analyses ensure robust and reliable marble provenancing. • Berkovitsa, Asenovgrad, Armira and Kamilski Dol identified as key regional marble sources. • Local Thracian marble dominated architectural, sculptural and votive production. • Selective use of imported Prokonnesian marble reflects elite and symbolic choices.

Waning and Re-emergence
It is often assumed that animal-style design belongs to “Eurasia BCE”, and that the zoomorphic image systems of early pastoralists died out soon after the dawn of the first millennium. The archaeological record, however, points to several important resurgences of animal-style art. This chapter seeks to uncover the lingering traces of Iron Age nomadic art well into the second millennium. To this end, the author studies archaeological finds from th…
Towards a Resolution
This concluding chapter summarizes the book’s main premises and touches upon some methodological challenges in the field of nomadic and Central Asian studies. Firstly, the nomadic penchant for zoomorphism and metonymic expression was inextricably linked to a psychology of mobility and a desire to sustain the collective memory of ethnically and culturally diverse, opportunistic alliances. Secondly, rather than being culturally encased by their sed…
New evidence of the supra-regional marble trade network in Thrace, through the archaeometric study of sculptures in Roman Philippopolis
A contribution to the urbanization and marble supply of Roman Thrace
The study of marble trade in antiquity has received a lot of scholarly attention in the last few decades; however, numerous deposits of high-quality white marble in the Thracian interior have only recently become pivotal in Bulgaria. Following the establishment of Thrace as a Roman province, investments into transport infrastructure, urban and rural construction works and monumentalizing architecture in marble have led to an increased demand for …
Re-Making Animal Bodies in the Arts of Early China and North Asia
The Iron-Age Eurasian nomads created and circulated elaborate metalworks embellished with images of entwined, abbreviated, or contorted zoomorphic anatomies. This approach to zoomorphism has entered scholarly discourse under the blanket name “animal style,” a term often used to describe a vast corpus of zoomorphic images associated with the arts of steppe pastoralists. Numerous Warring States burials across the Ordos Loop indicate the transmissio…
Fantastic Fauna in a Global Perspective
Ancient tombs and hoards across the Eurasian steppe call for a thorough revision of art-historical categories associated with pastoral societies from Mongolia to Crimea. This study focuses on one such category. “Animal style” is an umbrella term traditionally used to categorise portable precious metalwork ornamented with dynamic scenes of vigorous animal fights and entwined zoomorphic designs. With its emphasis on irregular animal anatomies and d…
Glittering Bodies
Non-sedentary cultures have existed on the scholarly fringes and historiographical outskirts of the art-historical canon: there they remain to this day, buried between dated opposites like “east” and “west,” “high” and “minor” arts, torn by interdisciplinary tensions in art history, archaeology and ethnography. Nomadic societies are usually considered in cross-cultural studies only insofar as they can act as sufficiently expedient intermediaries …
