Variatio in Kunst und Handwerk: Modulare Arbeitsweisen in spätantiker und frühbyzantinischer Zeit
In the arts and crafts of the first millennium AD work was carried out in some extent with prefabrications and templates; one experimented with motifs. The workshops assembled individual parts "as if from a construction kit", sometimes according to a strict design, sometimes in a playful manner. The present contributions are the first to examine this "modular way of working" and the various aspects it influences in a comprehensive way and thus make evident: modular working is proving to be an essential motor for cultural development. These are the results of a project carried out mainly by students and doctoral candidates with funding from the VolkswagenStiftung in the research and teaching project of "Poolforschung" at the Department of Christian Archaeology at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn.
Veränderungen von Stadtbild und urbaner Lebenswelt in spätantiker und frühbyzantinischer Zeit: Assos im Spiegel städtischer Zentren Westkleinasiens
The transformation and restructuring of the ancient city in Asia Minor in the Late Antique and Early Byzantine periods has become a central topic of archaeological and historical research in recent decades. The contributions to this volume present an extremely differentiated picture of the development of cities and their surrounding areas during this period. An ideal starting point for this is the city of Assos on the southern coast of the Troad, where the transformation of the ancient city from the 4th to the 8th century has been the focus of research since 2013. The picture gained there is placed in a broader context in the present volume by contributions on Pergamon, Sardis, Ephesos, Didyma and Sagalassos, which shed light on the development process of the Late Antique and Early Byzantine cities of Western Asia Minor in very different ways from various aspects.
Preguntando se llega a Roma: Festschrift für Achim Arbeiter zum 65. Geburtstag
The volume contains fifteen essays by students and (former) colleagues of Achim Arbeiter, who celebrates his 65th birthday in 2023 and at the same time also his 25th anniversary as Professor of 'Christian Archaeology and Byzantine Art History' at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. The contributions deal with iconographic and iconological aspects of pictorial works, with stylistic, typological and iconographic aspects of architecture, with settlement archaeology, music, ancient traditions in Christian saint cults and the multiple occupation of graves. Chronologically, the studies range from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages; geographically, they lead from the Levant via North Africa, the Balkans and Italy to the Iberian Peninsula.
