The Ornamented Pilaster Capitals from the Late Classical Period in Lycia

Abstract

In this article, the pilaster capital blocks of the Lycian Region, dated to the Late Classical period, are analyzed. In addition to two finds from Limyra and Patara, two anta capital blocks from the Nereid Monument at Xanthus constitute the study material. The attempt is made to place in a consistent chronology within a stylistic and historical context these blocks, both with each other and with similar examples found in distant or nearby places such as Halicarnassus, Labraunda, Sidon, Athens, Epidaurus and Tegea. In this respect, it was understood that craftsmen affiliated with workshops from Asia Minor and Hellas worked together in Lycia. It was seen that the Nereid Monument from Xanthus, which has not been re-dated, has features compatible with the context created for the Limyran and Pataran finds. It was concluded that the finds in question were produced between 360 and 345 B.C. This article also brings new perspectives to the understanding of the process of the Ionian Renaissance with the conclusion that architects were employed from different schools in these two regions, this providing the primary reason for the architectural differences between Lycia and Caria in this period.
