Download or read book The Funerary Monuments of Rough Cilicia and Isauria written by Yasemin Er Scarborough and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2017 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an investigation of the funerary monuments of Rough Cilicia and Isauria. Rock-cut tombs, tower tombs, temple tombs, grave houses, barrel-vaulted aedicula tombs, tombs with monumental columns, sarcophagi, larnaces, rectangular funerary altars and stelae, mostly from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, all occur in Rough Cilicia and Isauria. Much of the book rests on archaeological surveys conducted by the author in Rough Cilicia and in Isauria. She divides Rough Cilicia into four areas, to establish tentative boundaries of local distribution, as well as a rough chronology of distinct types of monuments. The funerary monuments of Isauria are treated separately. Selected tombs are considered, site-by-site, with comments on characteristic features, typical of the funerary architecture of the district. A noteworthy aspect is the movement of itinerant artists, who contributed to the transmission of funerary forms and motifs.

Download or read book A Reconsideration of the Funerary Monuments of Roman Dacia written by Allison L. C. Emmerson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis aims to improve our understanding of cultural interaction in the Roman province of Dacia by examining one type of evidence from the provincial period: Roman-style stone funerary monuments. Past research on the Dacian funerary monuments has considered them to be evidence of Romanization. To indicate Romanization, however, funerary monuments must demonstrate a blending of Roman and indigenous cultures. A close examination of the Dacian examples in context shows that this was not the case in Roman Dacia. Dacian funerary monuments were set up by Romans, rather than natives, and show no signs of cultural blending. In light of this research, the Dacian stone funerary monuments should not be considered evidence of Romanization, but of attempted Roman Imperialism. These monuments emphasized the separation of Roman and native, and advertised Roman power in the face of constant threats - both internal and external - to Roman control.

Download or read book Death and Changing Rituals written by J. Rasmus Brandt and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forms by which a deceased person may be brought to rest are as many as there are causes of death. In most societies the disposal of the corpse is accompanied by some form of celebration or ritual which may range from a simple act of deportment in solitude to the engagement of large masses of people in laborious and creative festivities. In a funerary context the term ritual may be taken to represent a process that incorporates all the actions performed and thoughts expressed in connection with a dying and dead person, from the preparatory pre-death stages to the final deposition of the corpse and the post-mortem stages of grief and commemoration. The contributions presented here are focused not on the examination of different funerary practices, their function and meaning, but on the changes of such rituals _ how and when they occurred and how they may be explained. Based on case studies from a range of geographical regions and from different prehistoric and historical periods, a range of key themes are examined concerning belief and ritual, body and deposition, place, performance and commemoration, exploring a complex web of practices.
