Mitteilungen zur Spätantiken Archäologie und Byzantinischen Kunstgeschichte

The publication on Rough Cilicia "Identity and cultural Exchange in Ancient Cilicia: New Results and Future Perspectives" combines the results of a workshop held at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich in May 2018. It contains a series of individual studies that reveal the uniqueness of Cilicia as a cultural landscape shaped by geography and regional interaction.
To this end, the expertise of scientists who have carried out important research in Cilicia or Isauria over the last ten years will be brought together. By providing a diachronic overview of archaeological finds from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity, this volume promotes comparative analyses between the rough and the flat Cilicia. Results of archaeological regional studies, which too often remain isolated, are combined to examine the factors that contributed to acculturation processes in Cilicia and that shaped the local identity of the region.
