In this brief paper an archaeological relation between Asia Minor and Egypt is reported which is attested by some oil lamps from the second to the first century BC. The focus is a bronze lamp in southeastern Turkey which orginates probably from Alexandria. Also some Egyptian-type clay lamps will be presented in this paper which had a very wide diffusion in the Near East and in the area around the eastern Mediterranean and were imitated in southeastern Anatolia. Keywords: Egyptian bronze lamps, Egyptian-type clay lamps, Late Hellenistic period, southeastern Turkey.

Lost bronzes of Asia Minor: Equestrian images and public place2021 •
https://www.barpublishing.com/greek-roman-and-byzantine-bronzes-from-anatolia-and-neighbouring-regions.html Commemorative bronze equestrian statues of rulers and important individuals from the Hellenistic period were widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean world. None of these pieces has survived to present day, except for certain inscribed statue bases along with the corresponding literary record. Early Hellenistic honourific decrees issued by the Greek cities of Anatolia seem to partially complete the picture as to how the statues of rulers on horseback became an integral part of official royal portraits. The equestrian model was probably derived from the depiction of a victorious leader who, following Alexander´s example, led his army into battle on the back of horse and conquered his enemies. Persons thus awarded were generally kings and members of their families, or royal officials designated as guests or friends of rulers. Despite the fact that today these bronzes are irrevocably lost, their significance can be seen by the enhancement of similar types of monuments in subsequent periods.

Bronzes from the Archaic Sanctuary of Athena in the Phocian Anticyra (Greece). In: Greek, Roman and Byzantine Bronzes from Anatolia and Neighbouring Regions, BAR IS 3038 edited by Ergün Lafli, BAR Publishing (Oxford, 2021).2021 •
The paper publishes three bronzes from the Archaic sanctuary of Athena in Antikyra, in south-eastern Phokis. To set them in context it gives a brief presentation of the temple itself and the stone base for the original bronze cult statue, excavated back in 1954 and never published. The first small bronze is a Late Archaic base with a dedicatory inscription giving a name, tentatively identified with a civic subdivision of Antikyra. The second bronze is a mid-fifth century BC headless statuette of a kore. The third is a relatively large bronze statuette of Athena Promachos. It is considered to be the best surviving exemplar of an Attic series, which includes several similar statuettes found on the Acropolis. It is also the earliest, to this date, occurrence of inlaying on small scale bronzes and dates a little before 480 BC.
Cide, which is a coastal area attached to the Turkish Province of Kastamonu, is located at the nortwestern part of the province. According to Strabo the name of Cythorus originates from the son of Phrixus, whose name was “Cytisorus”. It is known that there were Greek colonies in the vicinity of Cythorus during the Archaic and Classical periods. The situation of historical developments in Paphlagonia not being fully known is also valid for the Hellenistic period of Cythorus. On the other hand, during the Roman Imperial period the town stayed as a part of Amastris. In 2009-2011, archaeological surveys were conducted at the districts of Cide and Şenpazar and few numbers of Hellenistic ceramics were found.

Allianoi is in Paşa Ilıcası County within the Yortanlı irrigation dam built in 2010 to the Northwest of Bergama in the province of Izmir. All rescue excavations in the whole area of the dam, including Paşa Ilıcası, were implemented under the directorship of Prof. Ahmet Yaraş. The finds as well as the architecture point to the fact that the importance of Allianoi had increased during the Roman İmperial Period in particular. In this study, a total of nine metal finds, eight bronze, one silver, related to health cult recovered from the Allianoi Excavation between 1998-2006 will be discussed. Most of the architectural and small finds found at Allianoi belong to the Roman Imperial Period although there is a wide range of chronology. Earlier than the other finds is an astragalus and later than the other finds is an ampulla, the other seven finds can be dated to the 2nd-3rd century AD.

In this brief paper pottery found in the architectural layers of the 1st millen. BC., excavated at Oluz Höyük, will be presented in detail. These ware groups consist of painted vessels, Achaemenid bowls and local Hellenistic pottery. / Oluz Höyük 2A Mimari Tabakası’nın seramik buluntuları yerleşmenin etnik karakteri ve kültürü hakkında kayda değer veriler sunmaktadır. “Akhamenid kaseleri” denilen kaseler Oluz Höyük’te hem 2B, hem de 2A Mimari tabakalarında tespit edilmiştir. Hellenistik Çağ’a tarihlenen I.
