In Antakya the museum houses great Roman mosaics. I took the pictures on various occasions with a 4 and 7 year interval, and with different film and light conditions. Most from a March 2005 trip (I set my D70 camera wrong, don't believe exif dates). I did some cropping which may have distorted pictures slightly (I had to take them from awkward angles to avoid reflections). I reconstructed the colours to the best of my knowledge. I have found a catalogue that I bought and may later adjust some colours in accordance with those pictures. I used information from the catalogue to identify some pictures. If you want to see some more old Roman mosaics, you should visit my Gaziantep Museum gallery. Through the "topics" option on Pbase I try and show more museums, check the Link to the museum that I took pictures of.

ANTAKYA MÜZESİ

Antakya’daki müze, muazzam Roma mozaiklerine ev sahipliği yapıyor. Buradaki fotoğrafları, 4 ve 7 yıllık aralarla, farklı filmlerle ve farklı aydınlatma koşullarında birbirinden farklı durumlarda çektim. Çoğu Mart 2005’te yaptığım bir gezide çekildi (D70 kameramın ayarlarını yanlış yaptım, bu yüzden resimlerin altındaki tarihlere inanmayın). Resimlerin az da olsa bozulmasını önlemek için biraz kırpma yaptım (yansımayı engellemek için, fotoğrafları uygun olmayan açılardan çekmiştim). Renkleri, doğru olduğunu düşündüğüm şekilde yeniden oluşturdum. Önceden satın aldığım bir kataloğu buldum ve daha sonra renkleri oradaki resimlere uygun olarak yeniden düzeltebilirim. Bazı resimlerin hangileri olduğunu belirlerken o katalogtaki bilgilerden yararlandım. Daha fazla Roma mozaiği görmek istiyorsanýz, Gaziantep Müzesi galerimi ziyaret etmelisiniz.

Prometheus, You ask too many questions in one. The capital in my mind was at the time Heraclius fought muslim warriors (and would remain so for some 900 years more), Constantinople. That is where he retreated to, and there he died on 11 February 641 (Norwich, Byzantium, the early centuries). As for proof: I take pictures, am not a historian, and what "is" proof? Should I start a study, just to answer a question you can easily answer yourself? Aren't you a bit lazy?

I far as I am aware Antakya is the last seat or capital of the Roman Emperor Heraclius in the Middle East before he was driven from these lands by the Muslims. Can you confirm or deny this and give some proof as to the validity of this claim. Thank you, I await your reply.

Merhaba, I am looking for online information about the iconography of the mosaics of Antioch and Daphne (such as the Happy Hunchback and Evil Eye mosaics), but have not been able to find much (execpt the very basics). Have you got some tips on sites I could have a look at?

Thanks, Seder, As a matter of fact I am the only one who took the pictures. A he, by the way, Dick Osseman

you must also see the new Antep(Gaziantep) mosaic museum. collections's from Zeugma antique settlement. as fascinating as Antakya's. yeni Antep mozaik müzesini de mutlaka görün. Zeugma'dan çýkanlarý sergiliyorlar. en az Antakya kadar muhteþem.

What a wonderful web site. Thank you SO much for putting this together and sharing with the world. I am a mosaic artist in U.S.A. and appreciate seeing such beautiful skilled work created so long ago. They were masters.

Originally I am from Antioch, however, I have visited my hometown several times but never went into the museum- Now I see what I have missed...
