The Battle at Plataia, fought between the alliance of Greek City States and the Persians in 479 B.C., resulted in the victory of the Greeks. The Greeks City States that participated in the battle commemorated their victory by dedicating a tripod to Apollo at Delphi. This votive monument consisted of a bronze column of three intertwined snakes, and a tripod supporting a gold or gold-plated caldron. The Serpent Column is the sole piece of the
victory tripod that survives today, and is located in the Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul.
In this study, the present condition of the Serpent Column and the possible causes for its deterioration due to climatic factors and lack of protective measures are investigated, as well as methods for its reservation based on similar examples elsewhere, are proposed.

There are two bronze situlae, one bronze patera, one bronze askos, one bronze thymiaterion, one bronze vase, one silver strainer, one silver kylix and one furniture leg piece are included to the group of finds from Bolu-Göynük / Bilecik Yenipazar which is actually subject of this paper. The group was brought to the Istanbul Archaeological Museums in 1900 from the city of Bolu, Göynük, Kisra village and was included by purchasing to the Metals Objects Collection of the Museum. These objects were registered to the collection with 1415-1426 inventory numbers. They are symposion objects and all of these objects dated to the same period. It thought that these might be from a tumulus and then they were put together and displayed in the exhibiton which was named “The Neighbourhood of Istanbul: Thrakia, Bithynia, Byzantine” in 1998. The finds from Bolu Göynük, are dated to second half of the 4th century BC.

The cameo gold ring, which was found during Marmaray Yenikapı Excavations that carried out by İstanbul Archaeological Museums will be presented in this article. The museum inventory number of the ring is 08.6 (M). The ring has a massive round hoop which is slightly flattened along the sides and soldered to a circular bezel. The gold part at top of the ring is a little bit higher and its shape is close to round but actually oval and a cameo was settled at the middle of it. In the center of the cameo, there is a scene which presents an open hand which is surrounded by an inscription and small cross placed in the axis of the hand that precedes this inscription: ΤΙ ΚΑΛΙ ΤΟ ΜΙΛΟΝ, that means “The apple to the beautiful one”.The context that the ring was found at the excavation and also some parallels from the publications that indicates this ring might be dated to the 5th-6th century AD in a very wide range of time. However, it is thought that this ring is most probably 6th century AD. Based on the inscription and hand depiction on it that might have been an engagement or marriage ring and also it might be produced in a workshop of jewelry at Constantinople.

Toplumsal Tarih; Ağustos 2019'da "Günümüz İstanbul’unda Bizans" başlıklı özel bir dosyayla Türkiye’de Bizans tarihçiliğinin bugünkü durumunu gösteren araştırmalara odaklanıyor. Dosyada bir araya getirilen makaleler, İstanbul ve çevresinde son yıllarda yapılan kazılardan ve yürütülen araştırmalardan hareketle Bizans dönemi toplumsal ve gündelik hayatına dair önemli bulgular sunuyor. Zengin içeriğiyle referans niteliğindeki dosya, aynı zamanda İstanbul’da Bizans mirası üzerine araştırmaların geçmişine ve kaynaklarına ilişkin de yeni bilgiler içeriyor.
Buket Kitapçı Bayrı editörlüğündeki Ağustos 2019 dosyasının ilk makalesini ortaklaşa kaleme alan Rahmi Asal, Mehmet Ali Polat ve Yusuf Tokgöz; Marmaray Kartal İstasyonu’nun inşaat faaliyetleri sırasında ortaya çıkan Bizans dönemine ait mezar ve sikke buluntularını Kartal bölgesinin Bizans döneminde önemli bir liman olması ile bağlantılı olarak inceliyorlar. Gülbahar Baran Çelik ile Emir Son’un makalesi; Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun başkenti ve önemli bir ticaret merkezi olan İstanbul’da; Marmaray, metro projeleri kapsamında 2004–2014 yılları arasında İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri tarafından Yenikapı’da yapılan kazılarda ortaya çıkan buluntulardan hareketle günlük yaşantımızda halen varlığını koruyan kimi materyal ve inançların, Bizans ve öncesi kültürlerde neredeyse birebir var olduğunu ortaya koyuyor. Tarihi Yarımada’daki yerleşimin, Eski Çağ’da oluşmaya başlayan ve Orta Çağ’dan Yeni Çağ’a ulaşan süreçte çağlar boyunca hava şartlarına ve akıntının şiddetine göre denizciler tarafından kullanılan doğal limanlar ile ilişkisini inceleyen Mustafa Sayar; Byzantion ve Bizans dönemlerindeki limanları tanıttığı makalesinde 2000’li yıllarda gerçekleşen Yenikapı Marmaray kazısı ile ortaya çıkan Theodosius limanına değiniyor. Kerim Altuğ; Yarımada’nın zaman içerisinde üçüncü, dördüncü ve beşinci tepeleri boyunca batıya doğru genişlemesinin kentte doğurduğu su ihtiyacı üzerinden okuyucuyu Büyük Saray kesiminde bir gezintiye çıkararak bölgenin Bizans dönemindeki su temini altyapısına ilişkin verileri paylaşıyor. Selvihan Kurt’un makalesi; Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Arşiv ve Dokümantasyon Merkezinde bulunan Aziz Ogan arşivinden yararlanarak, 1930’lardan itibaren İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzesi Müdürü ve Eski Eserler Direktörü Aziz Ogan’ın (1888–1956) birlikte çalıştığı yabancı Bizantologlar ile yazışmaları üzerinden Cumhuriyet’in ilk 20–30 yılında İstanbul’da Bizans mirası tartışmalarına yer veriyor.

A Selection of Figured Bone-Ivory Pins in Metal Objects and Jewelery Collection
In this article, it has been focused on seven figured pins which are belong to Roman and Early Byzantine time. These pins are among the constantly mentioned pins types in many publications. Five of the pins will be examined under the name of the first group and two of them have hand-shaped head which is called benedictio Latina, one has bird (dove?) shaped head, and one has a cone-shaped head. These five pins were brought to the collection by purchasing, stating that they were brought from Balıkesir in 1956. When these pins compared with the similar examples, they can be dated to a time period between 3rd century AD and 5th century AD.
The second group consists of two pins: a pin with a female bust-shaped head and an accompanying pin with a long oval form head (this non-figured pin was mentioned because of the possibility of coming from the same context with the other and its dateable quality). They were included to the collection through confiscation. These pins can be dated to the 4th-5th centuries considering similar examples, and both pins are probably coming from the same context. In this article, the comments made on the decoration of the pins and the studies on their periods will be mentioned.
