A TYPOLOGICAL SUGGESTION CONCERNING HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN LYCIAN SARCOPHAGI

Abstract

The typological studies of Lycian tombs began in the eighteenth century. Although these pioneer typologies were not satisfactory, studies continued in subsequent years. Akurgal divided them into three groups and put all the Lycian sarcophagi in the second group in his typology. But he does not distinguish the differences between these sarcophagi. In addition, the second group is also termed: ‘The Monuments of Tombs in the Tradition of Native Anatolia’‘. This terminology contradicts the characteristics of these sarcophagi, as Lycian sarcophagi reflect not only native Anatolian traditions; but also influences from Greek, Persian and Roman art. In the 1970’s, Borchhardt created a new typology that was more detailed. Subsequently Atila, İdil and İskan-Yılmaz attempted new typologies. This study is a continuation from these typologies. In this typology study, before all else the attempt was made to understand the sarcophagi in Lycia during the problematic Hellenis­tic and Roman periods. From my previous studies elsewhere in Lycia, these sarcophagi can be divided into 5 distinct types.
