    Der einfluss der mosaiken des vorderen orients auf hispanische mosaiken am ende der antike
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Blázquez, José María
    Object of this study are the mosaics in Hispania at the end of the Antique that have an influx of oriental mosaics. These mosaics are those of Eros and Psyche in Fraga (Huesca), who have an influx from Antioch and Syria; of Daragoleja (Granada), of Puerta Oscura (Málaga), with an influx from Greece and Syria-Palestine; of Baños de Valdearados (Burgos), with Dionysus; of Dulcitius the hunter, el Ramalete (Navarra). The abundance of mosaics decorated with geometric themes and representations of abstract ideas have an oriental influx. A Syrian mosaist from the later Antoninian period made the cosmogonic mosaic of Augusta Emerita, that is full of abstract personifications and that reminds of one in Gaza and of the mosaic with the birth of Venus in Italica, also of Syrian origin. The Augusta Emerita mosaic with the poets from the 2nd century is the work of Selecus and Anthus. The mosaics with the Seven Wisemen of Greece in Augusta Emerita and with homeric themes in Cabezón del Pisuerga (Valladolid) are owed to Greek artists. Several paleochristian mosaics in the Balearic Islands owe their influx to Palestinian synagogues, probably coming through artists from Orient or copy-books.

    Republikanische und kaiserzeitliche Mosaike im südlichen, küstennahen Latium. Ein quantitativer Analyseansatz
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019) Teichmann, Michael
    Republican and Imperial Mosaics in Southern Coastal Latium. A Quantitative Approach This present paper aims at the distribution of mosaics in southern coastal Latium in Roman Republican and Imperial times. Data on extra-urban and rural settlement sites were gathered from publications and archives in a Geographic Information System. Results of quantitative, GIS-based analyses (kernel-density-estimations) are presented for the respective areas. The analyses are not only based on the better preservered mosaics, which are of iconographic interest, but comprise all sites, where mosaic tesserae were observed. The absolute density of sites with mosaics is compared between different research areas. The validity of the results is assessed and methodological limitations of the interpretations are considered. The chosen approach regards mosaics primarily as indicators of wealth. Therefore it might be interesting in a broader methodological sense beyond the presented case study.
