A FUNERARY STELE FROM ANTIOCHEIA AD ORONTES: TYPOLOGICAL AND ICONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION

Öz

This study examines in detail, from a typological and iconographic perspective, a funerary stele found during rescue excavations in 2017 at the necropolis of Antioch ad Orontes. Apart from minor cracks and missing parts, the funerary stele is intact and is currently preserved in the Hatay Archaeology Museum. The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on funerary stelae, to determine the formal characteristics of the stele, to conduct an in-depth typological and iconographical examination of the figures in the decorative area, and to identify their stylistic features. The form of the funerary stele is a schematic naiskos, like other examples. Made of fine-grained white marble, the stele reflects the facade of a naiskos in a schematic Ionic order. The ornamentation is preserved in a rectangular form, bordered by acroteria at the top, a pediment and architrave below, and a frame on the sides, with two lines of inscription on the molding below. Similar examples are known from Late Hellenistic steles found in the city of Antioch. The deceased woman and the other female figure beside her must have been depicted within a schematic temple, thus bestowing immortality upon them. In the decorative area, a woman, possibly the deceased, is depicted seated on the right, a variation of the Antiochian Tyche type, and opposite her, standing, is another woman of a variation of the Pudicitia type. Both figures are typologically derived from the Late Classical and Early Hellenistic periods. However, since these early types are used in funerary stele, which dates to the Late Hellenistic period, the classicism within the Hellenistic period becomes apparent. Because it was not found in a specific stratum during excavation, the funerary stele has been dated to between 150-100 BC, primarily using analogy in sculpture. It has been determined that the funerary stele reflects the stylistic characteristics of the Late Hellenistic period of the region.
