Asi’deki Antakya: Mozaikler şehrinde ilk araştırmalar
Abstract
From the very first moment when their picks and shovels hit the ground in 1932, archaeologists started to expose the remains of an ancient city hidden under the roads, squares and gardens of modern Antioch. The olive trees that constitute one of the most important symbols of the city, as they are also depicted in the mosaics of the Roman villas, concealed underneath their roots some of the most impressive works of ancient pictorial art...
Thus came to light one of the most magnificent cities of the Roman Empire. Antioch on the Orontes: Early Explorations in the City of Mosaics narrates the story of the first archaeological expeditions with articles and photographs, and provides news of the most recent archaeological excavations in Antioch.
1932’de kazma ve küreğin toprağa ilk vurulduğu andan itibaren arkeologlar, günümüz Antakya’sının sokakları, meydanları, bahçeleri altında saklı kalmış başka bir büyük şehrin kalıntılarını ortaya çıkarmaya başladılar. Roma evlerinin mozaiklerinde de betimlenen ve şehrin en önemli simgelerinden biri olan zeytin ağaçları, köklerinde antik resim sanatının en etkileyici eserlerini saklıyorlardı...
Ve böylece Roma İmparatorluğu’nun en görkemli şehirlerinden biri gün ışığına çıkmış oldu. Asi’deki Antakya: Mozaikler Şehrinde İlk Araştırmalar, buradaki ilk arkeolojik keşiflerin hikâyesini yazılar ve fotoğraflarla anlatıyor, ayrıca Antakya’da bugün devam etmekte olan arkeolojik kazılar hakkında bilgiler veriyor.
