Batı Dağlık Kilikya Bölgesi Antiochia ad Cragum Kenti Büyük Hamam Yapısı Havuzlu Avlu Mekanı’nın Geometrik Mozaikleri

Batı Dağlık Kilikya bölgesinin kıyı kenti Antiochia ad Cragum’un en sağlam yapılarından biri olan BüyükHamam kompleksinin şu ana kadar açılan havuzlu avlu ve apsisli mekan (frigidarium?) bölümlerinin zeminlerimozaik döşemeyle kaplıdır. Apsisli mekan mozaiklerinin çok azı korunabilmiştir, havuzlu avlu mozaikleriise büyük ölçüde sağlam kalabilmiştir. Panolar ve bordürlerden oluşan bu mozaikler çok çeşitli geometrikrepertuara sahiptir. Burada görülen geometrik örüntülerle, Ortadoğu’dan İber Yarımadası’na kadar tümAkdeniz havzası içindeki Roma dönemi mozaiklerinde karşılaşılır. Bununla birlikte, İS 3. yüzyıla tarihli havuzluavlu mozaiklerinin hem motif, hem teknik açıdan en yakın benzerlerine başta Kilikya bölgesi olmak üzereAnadolu’da rastlamak mümkündür.

Geometric Mosaics from the Courtyard of the Great Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum in Western Rough Cilica

The original floors of the courtyard and room with apse (frigidarium?), recently uncovered at the Great BathComplex in Antiochia ad Cragum, one of the better preserved structures of the ancient city located along theMediterranean coast of western Rough Cilicia, are covered with mosaics. Only a few fragments of the roomwith apse mosaic have been preserved, but the courtyard mosaic has remained largely intact. These mosaics,consisting of panels and borders, contain a wide variety of geometric motifs. The geometrical patterns seenhere have been encountered in Roman mosaics throughout the entire Mediterranean basin from the MiddleEast to the Iberian Peninsula. However, in terms of motif and technique, the closest similar examples of thisthird century AD mosaic of the courtyard can be found in Anatolia, including in particular the region of Cilicia.
