The Contribution of Architectural Sculpture in Cilicia to Early Byzantine History
The Contribution of Architectural Sculpture in Cilicia to Early Byzantine History

Summary/Abstract: Some Early Christian churches in Rough Cilicia have been ascribed to the patronage of the Byzantine emperor Zeno (476-491), native of Isauria, based on their rich decoration, their unusual centralized plans, and on historical considerations. A comprehensive study of the architectural sculpture of Rough Cilicia aims at scrutinizing this theory, contributing to the economic history of the region, and clarifying the relation to the capital, Constantinople.
