BOLU MÜZESİ’NDEN BİR GRUP ROMA DÖNEMİ KORİNTH BAŞLIĞI
A GROUP OF ROMAN PERIOD CORINTHIAN CAPITALS FROM BOLU MUSEUM

Summary/Abstract: Having emerged in the classical period, Corinthian capitals were very popular and widely used in the Roman Empire. Based on designs of Roman Empire structures, methods used, architectural arrangements in the city, public structures and their functions, and based on the depictions on Bityhnian coins belonging to the Roman period, this study covers capitals that are thought to exist in the city and that must belong to colonized structures in the Corinthian order. Intensification movements occurring in Anatolia during the reign of Hadrian in the Empire also continued during the Severan period, and these movements were observed in the city of Bithynia. The city had privileges being the birthplace of Antinoos during Hadrian period, and architectural structuring was more concentrated. Corinthian capitals found in the Bolu Museum inventory are also one of the most important evidences of this structuring. As a result of excavations and studies conducted, among Corinth capitals obtained from many architectural structures in the city of Bolu, those brought to the museum constitute the main subject of research.
