In Antakya the museum houses great Roman mosaics. I took the pictures on various occasions, sometimes years apart and with different media (film, digital) and light conditions. On a March 2005 trip I set the camera date wrong, don't believe exif dates. Later pictures are from a D2x and finally a D3. The colour of earlier pictures is often wrong, the latest can seem a bit dull but are truer to live. You will know the trick of throwing water over a mosaic to make it shine: my latest pictures could do with some water, earlier corrections are more as if I went to the museum with a soaker. I used information from the catalogue to identify several mosaics. If you want to see some more old Roman mosaics, you should visit my Gaziantep Museum gallery. Through the "topics" option on Pbase I try and show more museums, check the Link to the museum that I took pictures of.

ANTAKYA MÜZESİ

Antakya’daki müze, muazzam Roma mozaiklerine ev sahipliği yapıyor. Buradaki fotoğrafları, 4 ve 7 yıllık aralarla, farklı filmlerle ve farklı aydınlatma koşullarında birbirinden farklı durumlarda çektim. Çoğu Mart 2005’te yaptığım bir gezide çekildi (D70 kameramın ayarlarını yanlış yaptım, bu yüzden resimlerin altındaki tarihlere inanmayın). Resimlerin az da olsa bozulmasını önlemek için biraz kırpma yaptım (yansımayı engellemek için, fotoğrafları uygun olmayan açılardan çekmiştim). Renkleri, doğru olduğunu düşündüğüm şekilde yeniden oluşturdum. Önceden satın aldığım bir kataloğu buldum ve daha sonra renkleri oradaki resimlere uygun olarak yeniden düzeltebilirim. Bazı resimlerin hangileri olduğunu belirlerken o katalogtaki bilgilerden yararlandım. Daha fazla Roma mozaiği görmek istiyorsanýz, Gaziantep Müzesi galerimi ziyaret etmelisiniz.

I just wanted to thank you for posting your beautiful pictures. I come back to this page every few months; one of my wishes is to one day go to Turkey and see these mosaics up close for myself. Thanks again!

re: prometheus question: Heraclius was attacked by Arabs in 633; Mohammed began receiving the revelations of the Koran in 610, fled to Medina from Mecca in 622 after having overturned Mecca's pagan idols, and died in 632 having accomplished religious reforms in Mecca that spread across Arabia, uniting it, so to speak, under a single monotheistic faith. What I don't know is whether an Arab army attacking remnants of the roman empire in 633 would have been islamic, or muslim--Arabs, yes, but muslim? in 633? seems a stretch to me to characterize the attack on Heraclius as religious aggression on the part of so young a faith--I'm writing this only because of an interest in accuracy of terms; even now not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs and using the terms as if they are interchangeable only leads to confusion and fosters ignorance--which we've had enough of these days. Such a beautiful sight, this one, which I happened on after reading an essay in the recent Times Literary Supplement that referred to Megalopsychia.

Prometheus, You ask too many questions in one. The capital in my mind was at the time Heraclius fought muslim warriors (and would remain so for some 900 years more), Constantinople. That is where he retreated to, and there he died on 11 February 641 (Norwich, Byzantium, the early centuries). As for proof: I take pictures, am not a historian, and what "is" proof? Should I start a study, just to answer a question you can easily answer yourself? Aren't you a bit lazy?

I far as I am aware Antakya is the last seat or capital of the Roman Emperor Heraclius in the Middle East before he was driven from these lands by the Muslims. Can you confirm or deny this and give some proof as to the validity of this claim. Thank you, I await your reply.

Merhaba, I am looking for online information about the iconography of the mosaics of Antioch and Daphne (such as the Happy Hunchback and Evil Eye mosaics), but have not been able to find much (execpt the very basics). Have you got some tips on sites I could have a look at?

Dick Osseman		20-Aug-2007 18:02
Thanks, Seder, As a matter of fact I am the only one who took the pictures. A he, by the way, Dick Osseman

What a wonderful web site. Thank you SO much for putting this together and sharing with the world. I am a mosaic artist in U.S.A. and appreciate seeing such beautiful skilled work created so long ago. They were masters.

Originally I am from Antioch, however, I have visited my hometown several times but never went into the museum- Now I see what I have missed...
