Document Details : Title: Romanisation und hellenismos in Thracia Author(s): DEOUDI, Maria Journal: BABESCH Volume: 87 Date: 2012 Pages: 205-212 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.87.0.2160699 Abstract : The Romanisation of Eastern Macedonia and Thracia has left considerable and lasting traces especially in urban construction. Most notably in the middle Imperial period several Greek foundations were changed massively through new building activities. The integration of new influences is especially evident in privately commissioned monuments. Direct insight into theses complex acculturation processes, which were mainly tied to urban centres, are thus provided by small and locally concentrated groups of monuments with the image of the Thracian huntress and the Thracian rider. These monuments stand for the variety of cultural developments in these regions. Due to the selection of specific iconographical variables they were visible manifestation of the innovative art traditions which also stood for new locally defined values which could be regarded as a newly developed Macedonian-Thracian formal vocabulary. |
