    Mosaique de Dionysos découverte à Hiérapolis (Manbij) en Syrie du nord
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-06-28) Abdallah , Komait; al-Kaied , Mouhamad
    In 2017, the remains of the two mosaics were accidentally found in the city of Manbij, 60 km northeast of Aleppo in northern Syria. These mosaics seem to be part of the same architectural context that has completely disappeared. The best preserved mosaic has a very interesting theme. It is the Dionysus scene with his thiasos including Satyr and Bacchant and leopard. There is also an other scene of landscape with river god and animals. The last one, so damaged, conserve just a mask and the rest of two personages and an amphora, beside it, there is an inscription mentioning Eros. The scene of Dionysus evokes the well-known figures in Zeugma and Antioch, Turkey, dated to the end of the 2nd century AD and the beginning of 3nd centuries. Perhaps, it represents the epiphany of the god. The others scenes are probably linked with Dionysus iconography. The mosaic could be dated, according to the stylistic criteria, to the end of 2nd century AD and the beginning of 3nd century AD. It attests the diffusion of the Dionysus cult in the city of Manbij (Hierapolis) in the roman period.

    Villa Gallo Romaine de Séviac - France Approches innovatives visant à la valorisation, à la conservation et à la restauration de pavements de mosaïque antiques exposés en plein air
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-08-10) Perpignani, Paola; Racagni, Paola
    The Gallo-roman villa of Séviac, located in the Municipality of Montréal du Gers in France, was accidentally discovered at the end of the 19th century. The archaeological investigations identified the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 5th century as the period of its greatest splendour. It was a large rural residence that certainly belonged to a high-ranking aristocrat, covering a total area of about 25,000 sqm. In ancient times, it is believed to have mosaic floors with a total area of approximately 1,500 sqm. Currently, the site boasts about 400 sqm of beautiful polychrome mosaics of undoubted technical and stylistic quality. Recently, thanks to the interest of the local authorities, it was decided to invest in the territory through a series of programs aimed at protecting and enhancing the historical, artistic and archaeological heritage of the territory. Through a public competition, a team headed by the Portuguese architect João Luís Carrilho da Graça was selected, as it possessed the specific skills in the required fields. A new fully functional and innovative system of coverage of the entire site was designed and built. After a very complex preliminary diagnostic work, the team, in cooperation with the restoration laboratory of RavennAntica Foundation, designed and then directed the restoration of the entirety of the mosaic floors
