İssos-Epiphaneia Artemis Hamamı mozaiklerinin yeniden değerlendirilmesi, koruma ve sergileme projesi

Abstract

In the ancient city of Issos Epiphaneia in Erzin, Hatay, there is a Roman bath. The bath was unearthed by the Hatay Archaeological Museum. After the excavations were completed, the Artemis mosaic found on the floor of the frigidarium was moved to the Hatay Archaeological Museum and exhibited in the Issos-Epiphaneia section in the Roman Bath animation. After more than 10 years following, the wooden protection roof, which was previously built temporarily, has completely lost its function and has become a threat to the building due to the collapse in some parts. In addition, the walls and some exposed equipment of the building are exposed to the destructive effects of climatic conditions. In this context, within the scope of the project, which primarily aims to build a protective roof for the protection of the building, a plan suitable for visits has also been made in order to bring the area to tourism. It aims to introduce the bath with all its values, especially with the Artemis Mosaic, which is very important in terms of archaeology. In this context, it is aimed to exhibit the mosaic in its original place in the building by making a replica of the mosaic with an application that has no previous example in mosaic art in Turkey.
