ERKEN HRİSTİYANLIK DÖNEMİ’NE AİT BİR LAHİT
A SARCOPHAGUS OF THE EARLY CHRISTIAN PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: In the 4th century, after Christianity was regarded as an official religion in the Roman Empire, it began to influence art in a form of its own symbolic expression. At the beginning of the Early Christian Era, the first art examples of this period, which have just begun to be shaped and whose rules have not yet become clear, have not yet broken their past. For this reason, it is seen that the items of paganism and Christianity are used together in the artwork. The repertoire of motifs used in the ornaments of this period is the same, but the composition is different by the influence of regional and periodical enjoyment. The style of the work varies depending on the workshop. In this article, a sarcophagus at the Amasya Museum belonging to the Early Christian Period was examined in terms of its artistic and stylistic characteristics and its place in the history of art was revealed under the light of existing data.
