Roman Funerary Steles and Byzantine Inscriptions in the Museum of Şanlıurfa
Journal Title: Philia: International Journal of Ancient Mediterranean Studies - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
This article presents 22 stone objects from the Museum of Şanlıurfa (ancient Edessa) in southeastern Turkey. There are three groups of objects: a dedication from Edessa, funerary steles from Zeugma, and Byzantine inscriptions from Şanlıurfa. The stele from Edessa was known in previous publications; this article offers a new epigraphic commentary on its inscription (no. 1). Most of the funerary steles from Zeugma in Şanlıurfa have been known since the publication of J. Wagner in 1976; here they will be re-treated both epigraphically and iconographically. Three steles from Zeugma were not previously published (nos. 7, 9 and 10). The last four objects are from the province of Şanlıurfa (ancient Osrhoene) and they belong to the Byzantine period, the epigraphy of which is not known in detail for this region.
