Manufatti bronzei bizantini ad Antiochia di Pisidi
OCP, (2009)Abstract
This paper aims at cataloguing some of the significant Byzantine metal objects preserved
in the Archaeological Museum of Pisidian Antioch (today Yalvaç) in Turkey.
Since so many samples of metal findings have been left abandoned and unpublished
for so long, it seemed convenient to choose a representative selection of them (i.e.
lamps, chains, censers, crosses and reliquary-crosses) to illustrate the variety and
quality of the objects, often without any attested provenance, kept in the Museum.
Albeit briefly, the paper seeks also to add a complementary facet to the wealth of
Byzantine marble sculpture, thereby broadening our image and understanding of the
metropolitan city of Antioch.
