Identity and cultural exchange in ancient Cilicia: New results and future Perspectives Internationales Kolloquium 18. - 19. Mai 2018 in München

Beschreibung

The publication on Rough Cilicia "Identity and cultural Exchange in Ancient Cilicia: New Results and Future Perspectives" combines the results of a workshop held at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich in May 2018. It contains a series of individual studies that reveal the uniqueness of Cilicia as a cultural landscape shaped by geography and regional interaction.
To this end, the expertise of scientists who have carried out important research in Cilicia or Isauria over the last ten years will be brought together. By providing a diachronic overview of archaeological finds from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity, this volume promotes comparative analyses between the rough and the flat Cilicia. Results of archaeological regional studies, which too often remain isolated, are combined to examine the factors that contributed to acculturation processes in Cilicia and that shaped the local identity of the region.

Rezensionen

"This slim volume of just over 150 pages contains eight papers on the archaeology of Cilicia and isauria in southern Asia Minor, the product of a conference held in Munich in 2018. it is a nicely produced volume, with a very short forward and introduction, plentiful black and white illustrations of good quality at the end of each paper, and no conclusion or index (not these are needed). The chronological focus is mostly on late antiquity, while spatially the emphasis is on the central part of Cilicia between the modern cities of Silifke and Ayas (ancient Seleucia-ad-Calycadnum and Elaiussa/Sebaste). As a whole the volume reflects the international nature of current fieldwork in Turkey with three Turkish and five central European papers, written in either English or German. (...) Overall, this is a useful collection for those whose research focuses on classical Cilicia, published swiftly and well-edited. However, only reviewers seem likely to read a physical copy from cover to cover, while others will access individual articles online."
