Newly Documented Roman Imperial Rock-Cut Tombs in Tavium

Öz

This study examines two rock-cut tombs documented in 2025 on the southwestern slope of Tavium in light of their topographical context, architectural features, and comparative analysis, while also evaluating the associated artifact from the tomb area within this framework. Carved directly into the bedrock and featuring a single-chamber plan, the tombs represent a small-scale chamber-tomb type defined by interior klinai. The tombs are located approximately 1.2 km from the settlement centre on the same rock outcrop. Within the scope of the study, they were documented through on-site observation, measurement, and architectural recording; additionally, their plans, interior arrangements, and states of preservation were analysed in detail. The architectural data were compared first with examples from Yozgat and its surroundings, and subsequently with rock-cut tombs from regions neighbouring Galatia, in order to clarify the position of the Tavium tombs within the surrounding funerary traditions. This comparison was based on plan typology, interior arrangement, and spatial location. Furthermore, an intaglio depicting an eagle, discovered in the tomb area, was examined regarding its technical and iconographic features, and its relationship to the funerary context was evaluated.
