Sectilia pavimenta at Iasos

Öz

In Iasos, a town only partially investigated and with a small number of mosaics, three pavimenta sectilia were brought to light, dating from the beginning of the Roman empire to at least the late 3rd century. While the lithostroton at the propylaeum and the one in the prehistoric necropolis belong to the best known type - a white tessellated floor in which polychrome marble or stone crustae are inserted - the third example, located in front of the east gate of the agora, has special characteristics. The white background is reduced to a minimum, the crustae are closely spaced and linked by one or two rows of tesserae and surround an off-centre pseudo-emblema, equally made up of a sectile.
The type of pavement of the first two floors mentioned, which are actually the later ones, is very common in Rome and throughout the Italian peninsula; it is known in the western part of the empire and is very rare in the eastern part. The third one, on the other hand, dated between the Augustan age and the second half of the 1st century AD, finds comparisons only on very few specimens, respectively, in Cremona, Lucca, Pompeii, between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD, and in Olympia in the 2nd century AD.
Faced with the almost total absence of attestations of this type of floor in the eastern Greek part of the empire and in the rest of Asia Minor, one wonders why, on the contrary, the craftsmen active in Iasos showed such a predilection over several centuries. It has been established that sectilia pavimenta were especially popular in Rome and throughout Italy; in Iasos the presence of numerous Italics who resided and worked there is epigraphically documented; also in the tessellated mosaics of the town, for example in the House of Mosaics, it is possible to identify some ‘Italicisms’ in the decoration and content, and even the presence of a cult dedicated to Heracles as protector of the town leads back to Italic environments.
All these elements allow us to think, in my opinion, that the presence of Italics in Iasos had important consequences on the cultural level, including a particular predilection for sectilia pavimenta.
