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.
Forschungsgeschichte als Aufbruch: Beiträge zur Geschichte der Christlichen Archäologie und Byzantinischen Kunstgeschichte, XXIV. Tagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christliche Archäologie, Bonn, 10.–12. Mai 2018
The contributions were written within the framework of the XXIV conference of the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christliche Archäologie zur Erforschung spätantiker, frühmittelalterlicher und byzantinischer Kultur” (AGCA) which took place in Bonn in May 2018. Representatives from institutionally based Early Christian archaeology and Byzantine archaeology and art history in Germany, Aust ria, Italy, Spain, Turkey, the Netherlands and Switzerland give an account on the subject’s history at their respective locations. Prominent researchers are portrayed, important national and international excavations are discussed, as well as the activities of national and international centers of research and of museums. The result is a broad overview of the history of the subject which clearly shows how multifaceted and rich in tradition Early Christian archaeology and Byzantine archaeology and art history are - a foundation for the subject’s future, for continuity as well as for changes.

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.
