New inscriptions from the Museum of Bursa

Abstract

In this contribution we introduce some new ancient Greek inscriptions from the Bursa Museum. Of the 36 artefacts, the first four are dedications, while the remaining are funerary stones. Six funerary stelai do not bear any inscriptions. The provenance of some artefacts unfortunately remain unknown, but in general they were brought to the museum from Bursa province and its environs such as the districts of Nilüfer, İnegöl, Orhaneli, Harmancık, Keles, Gemlik, Karacabey and Orhangazi, as well as from the province of Yalova. The ex-votos are offered to Meter Taurene, Men Tauropoleites, Zeus Kersoullos and Apollon. The funerary inscriptions are humble, but apart from contributing to the already rich onomastics of Bithynia Mysia, they also provide some interesting information, such as concerning a freedman (no. 5), a new phyle called Protinia (no. 10), the posthumous honouring of a woman doctor (no. 11), and, a teacher (no. 16). The inscriptions mostly date to the Roman Imperial Period, but there are also a few Hellenistic examples (nos. 13, 19, 24, 25).
