Zavadskaya, Irina A. "The Particulars of the Numeric Proportions of the Ground Plan of the Basilica of Eski-Kermen." Materials in Archaeology, History and Ethnography of Tauria, no. XXVI (2021): 143–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.37279/2413-189x.2021.26.143-155.
Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the results of the research of the planning structure of the basilica of the Early Byzantine castle and mediaeval town located on the plateau of Eski-Kermen in the mountainous area of the Crimea (late sixth to the late thirteenth century). In the eleventh or twelfth century, three polyhedral apses with pilasters typical of the Middle Byzantine cross-inscribed churches were added to the eastern part of the basilica, thus greatly changing the appearance of the original basilica, which reconstruction now causes certain difficulties. However, it is quite obvious that this structure belonged to the same type of basilicas featuring the nave and two aisles, one narthex, wooden raftering, and most probably one semi-circular or faceted apse. The designers of the basilicas of Cherson and Eski-Kermen most likely used the system of numerical proportions, uncovered by an architect and architectural historian Hans Buchwald. Although the ground plan of the basilica of Eski-Kermen contains numerical proportions of all three variants of the proportional system of the basilicas of Chersonese, it is not possible to attribute the basilica of Eski-Kermen to one of the said variants. Its central part, or naos (1:1 o.c./cl.) corresponds proportionally to the “shortened” basilicas of Chersonese (3rd variant of the proportional system). However, the proportions of the naos with the apse or narthex (2:3 cl./o.c.) are comparable with the basilicas of Chersonese with “medium” proportions (2nd variant). It is related to the enlarged volumes of its chancel and narthex. Although the set of numerical proportions of the basilica of Eski-Kermen is individual, almost all of them have analogies in the early Byzantine architecture of basilicas, especially in Chersonese, the administrative and religious centre of the south-western Crimea. The specificity of the planning structure of the basilica of Eski-Kermen are explained, primarily, by its small size and the need to extend the space of the chancel and narthex. The possibility of combining numerical proportions in the building of basilicas indicates that the set of these proportions was not strictly regulated, so they were chosen according to the specific conditions and needs.

Full textAbstract:
The article is an attempt to arouse a discussion about the originality of the design of Roman Christian basilica. The author deals with the form of basilica Constantiniana and strives to reconstruct its architectonic and functional programme. Formal borrowings from forum basilicas and imperial audience halls have been indicated. The formal adoption from those objects has been justified in two ways. The idea of acquiring the scale and inside arrangement from forum basilicas stemmed from the similarity of function. In turn, hierarchical order of the interior was achieved due to an apse moved to the shorter side with the entrances on the opposite one; such a compositional solution was taken from imperial basilicas. It was aimed to focus an attention of the faithful at actions which were taking place against the apse as well as at the bishop himself. The apse’s symbolic significance raised the rank of a building, thus granting a bishop the emperor’s authority. The development of Roman Christian basilica – understood as such process – turned this object into original architectonic creation. It joined ingeniously the function of gathering the faithful (procedure unknown to the prior Roman cult architecture) with the visualisation of the symbolism of power – of a bishop, in this case – emanating from the form of the apse and from the structure of the building, both derived from imperial basilicas.

Full textAbstract:
The City Basilica of Patara, which dates back to the second half of the 5th century AD, offers valuable evidence regarding the interior design of buildings of this type and the liturgical traffic-flow within them. Excavations conducted at the basilica have revealed diverse liturgical furnishings, including the templon, the altar, column bases associated with the ciborium, the sacred water well, the synthronon, and a section of the opus sectile flooring in the bema. This study focuses on the analysis, evaluation, and indication of potential connections among the remains of templon elements found at the City Basilica of Patara, encompassing templon stylobates, bases, slabs, columns, and column capitals. Its primary objectives are to examine the marble objects excavated in the basilica, particularly those attributed to the templon, with the intention of proposing a reconstruction of the basilica’s interior, as well as to describe these objects, especially their decorative motifs, and assess their resemblance to other examples of Byzantine art and architecture. The remains of the templon in the City Basilica at Patara are carefully examined and compared to similar specimens. The analysis considers the characteristics of the decoration, dimensions, style, and materials used in the high templon arrangement. Based on this evaluation, the templon is assigned to the second half of the 5th century AD, which corresponds to the dating of the first phase of the basilica.

Full textAbstract:
Interpretation of the historical and epigraphical data can only provide a bare outline of the political and social environment of Knossos between the 5th and 7th centuries AD. Consequently, our understanding of late Antique Knossos comes primarily from the excavated remains of two of the Christian basilicas in the Valley; the Sanatorium Basilica and the KMF Basilica. Although excavations of the former have been published in full, concerning the KMF Basilica, only a brief summary of its architecture has been published. As a result, a detailed analysis of the excavations of the basilica itself will be made available here, including particulars of its architecture, mosaics, and summaries of the associated elements of the entire basilica complex (a detailed discussion of the whole Late Antique KMF excavations is forthcoming). As such, not only is a new and full interpretation of the KMF Basilica provided, but also for the first time the material culture of Late Antique Knossos is collated and subsequently analysed to provide a clear understanding of the nature of the city during this period. Despite a dearth of domestic evidence, a contextual study of the surviving architecture (principally religious) in conjunction with the mortuary remains, allows a broad perception of society and a clear comprehension of the development of the city. Thus the aim here is to examine the compelling evidence that, contrary to common belief, during the Late Antique period Knossos continued to be a vibrant and influential city as it had been in the Roman period.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the interrogation of visual history associated with Goan church architectural legacies offered by Vishvesh Prabhakar Kandolkar’s installation series, This is Not the Basilica! (2021). The artist’s subject is the 16th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus, which was built in locally domesticated Baroque style during Goa’s Portuguese colonial era and which houses the remains of the Spanish saint, Francis Xavier. Kandolkar’s work makes viewers intimate with the Basilica’s history, I contend, so as to posit the need for conservation efforts that will save the deteriorating church while also revealing its unseen aesthetic past as a symbol of still-unfolding Goan identity.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe most prominent and long-lasting of the timber truss-roofed buildings from imperial Roman times was the Basilica Ulpia, the interior of which has been reconstructed by recent writers but with little agreement regarding the upper sections. The reconstruction that best passes the test of engineering viability is shown here to be the one published by James E. Packer in 1997, but Packer’s reconstruction is unconvincing with regard to the roof. The argument advanced now is that the roof was constructed with double trusses of the kind once found in the early Christian basilicas of Old St Peter’s and San Paolo fuori le Mura, and then recorded in the eighteenth century by Jean-Baptiste Rondelet, which were very similar in size to those used for the Basilica Ulpia. The spacing of roof trusses was determined by the nave column spacing. Engineering analysis determines that the trusses had sufficient capacity to support the roof and that the double-truss arrangement was critical to avoid overloading the stone architraves. The article speculates that doubling the Roman truss may have been a previous innovation. It argues that the later early Christian basilicas relied on the Roman double truss because of its proven performance, and that this continuity was recognised by Auguste Choisy and others who considered their use to be a reflection of earlier Roman practice.

Full textAbstract:
The authors of this paper reinvestigate the remains of the Basilica Sempronia, situated below the Imperial Basilica Julia in Rome. By combining the information from the original excavation with a new 3D digital documentation, new observations are made and previous interpretations reassessed. The present remains are discussed in relation to the contemporary built environment, as well as to preceding and following phases. It is argued that the Basilica Sempronia was an elongated hall with closed lateral walls and interior supports. It was erected on a podium that raised the building above the surrounding streets on all sides except the west. The Augustan renewal of the Basilica Julia entailed vast foundations works, which had a huge impact on the site. However, evidence of an intermediate phase indicates the existence of a building complex that merged the previous basilica with the Tabernae Veteres, partly preserving their original dimensions and orientations. This intermediate basilica complex comprised a large paved unroofed surface at an elevated position, possibly a peristyle courtyard. The paper briefly touches upon the possible implications for our understanding of the early Roman basilica, the use of public space, and the development of the Forum Romanum.

Full textAbstract:
This paper offers a survey of the uses of Iasian marbles and their relationships with other stones. In the 6th century, these marbles were used for wall cladding and flooring, with an aim to alternate with or frame lighter marbles, as was the case in Iasos, in the Agora Basilica. Similar combinations were attested in the cladding of synthronoi of the basilicas A and C of Nea Anchialos. In the latter, the sides of the presbytery were framed with red cipollino slabs of different lengths and widths. In the prostoon, verde antico was added to red and white veined marbles. Other examples seem to demonstrate the use of the red cipollino to mark thresholds and passageways, as was the case of the solea of Hagia Sophia and the presbytery of the basilica of St. John in Ephesos. There, the templon stylobate and bases made of Iasian marble supported columns of verde antico and gray marbles; some slabs would have been of the openwork type; thus, the variety of marbles, their textures and workmanship must have contributed to the deep impact of the arrangement.

Abstract When working with the Groningen edition of the Basilica, it is necessary to apply the periodical divisions of Roman law (classical Roman law, Justinianic law, early and later Byzantine law) to the texts in order to make the differences in meaning, according to their historical background, better visible. Each historical context shows its own characteristics, for example in expressions and references. To interpret data from the Basilica correctly, one must also know how to collect all relevant fragments.

Full textAbstract:
The Nekresi “Big Square” illustrated that a new architectural idea has been conceived, however it could not expand. It was an attempt of monastery concept development and we could not even suppose how this religious doctrine may appear in reality. However, it obviously created a new Georgian architectural theme – so-called “three-church” basilica, the type of basilica where walls divide naves, but not columns. “Three-church” basilica (the term established by Giorgi Chubinashvili) is suggested to be a Georgian phenomenon. It is worth of mentioning that Nekresi early Christian monastery complex (fourth-seventh centuries), which overlooks the Nekresi “Big Square”, consists of several churches of “three-church” basilica type.

Full textAbstract:
The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies 'rewired' their participants. This paper demonstrates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors - the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community - are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the concrete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica's early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to-date. In Pope Gregory's remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically organized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society. Increasing hierarchization may have enhanced the transformational power of the Eucharist, or impeded it.

Full textAbstract:
The Acropolis Basilica, Sparta, was first excavated by G. Guttle, under the auspices of the British School at Athens, in the 1920s. Two further campaigns were carried out by members of the Athens Archaeological Society, who were not privy to the unpublished excavation daybooks of the British campaign. As a result, 80 years on, the church is still poorly understood; its date and chronological development have been the subject of much scholarly debate, as has its attribution to Osios Nikon. The first phase of a new study of the basilica is now well underway. This consists of non-intrusive study and recording to reach a better understanding of the monument and the previous investigations before new excavations are carried out. The aims of the first phase of the project are to undertake archaeological cleaning of the basilica and its associated buildings to facilitate the production of an accurate ground plan of monuments, the creation of stone by stone elevations of the exterior walls of all the buildings, and the detailed photography of every aspect of the entire basilica complex. Detailed recording of the features exposed in the basilica has been carried out in order to assess chronological phasing (both through context and architecture), use of space within the basilica and potential reconstructions of the edifices. Following the first season of the project, we have a number of preliminary ideas regarding the phasing of the basilica and use of architectural space. In this article we present these ideas, our methodology, a new plan of the monument and its associated buildings and, for the first time, a resume of Cuttle's excavations.

Full textAbstract:
A research excavation was commenced on the site of the basilica which forms the western side of the forum of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester, Hants) in IQ80. Its aim is to examine the Late Iron Age and early Roman occupation which, despite extensive Victorian excavations, was preserved beneath the masonry basilica. So far there is evidence of the Iron Age sequence dating back to the last quarter of the first century B.C.; it ends with the construction of a palisade dating to about the time of the Roman conquest. Two major phases of Roman timber building have been recorded, of which the later consists of a large basilica, interpreted as part of a forum-basilica and of Flavian date. The masonry basilica dates to the early second century. From the mid third until the later fourth century the basilica was given over to metalworking. The amphitheatre, with its well-preserved earthen seating banks, was first constructed during the third quarter of the first century A.D., when the seating, arena wall and entrance passages were built of timber. After several phases of repair the arena wall and entrance passages were rebuilt in stone in the first half of the third century. The full plan of this phase has been recovered; it consists of two opposing entrances on the long axis and two apsidal recesses on the short axis. The monument enjoyed a brief period of reuse in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.

Full textAbstract:
The Romanesque Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert in Prague was erected as a double-chancel basilica with western transept. Occidental transverse nave and two choirs is intrinsic and distinctive feature of this basilica that indicates architectural ideas from which the Cathedral had originated. Alas, the basilica has, hitherto, been rather interpreted in isolation and without considering the broader European architecture context and by detaching the western transept from its topographic context. This has discouraged scholars from rigorous analysis of the origins of the form, which resulted in the creation of arbitrary and stereotypical narrative instead. This paper presents new interpretation of the Cathedral which tracks the links between the basilica and double-choir churches with western transept in Central Europe. In addition, this research builds on spatial analysis which identifies the relationships between the Cathedral and the landform of Prague Castle.

Full textAbstract:
Francesco Borromini's renovation of the basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome is one of his grandest conceptions. It remains frustratingly incomplete, however, because Borromini was not able to vault the nave as he had hoped. The nature of his design for a vault has been much discussed. The only surviving visual evidence consists of a drawing in a private collection, not heretofore studied in depth. It shows a section through the basilica with two superimposed roofing structures, a flat ceiling and a coffered barrel vault. Comparison to other Borromini drawings for the renovation of the basilica establishes that the drawing is from Borromini's own hand and shows an intermediate stage of his design, probably dating from April 1647. In conjunction with recently published documents from the Spada archive, the drawing demonstrates that as of mid-1647 the vaulting of the basilica was seen as a two-phase process: the existing flat ceiling was to be retained for the present, but the basilica was prepared to support a vault in the future. It also shows that at the Lateran Borromini was consciously emulating not only Michelangelo's Saint Peter's but also Alberti's Sant'Andrea. The prominent use of a classical form on a monumental scale, especially striking in view of Borromini's reputation as an anticlassicist, is attributable to the unique nature of the commission, Borromini's only basilica. The design shows Borromini's boldness in seeking to accommodate the classical form to his own personal concerns for skeletal structure and new effects of motion and light.

В данной статье предпринимается попытка собрать воедино информацию об ограниченном корпусе римских (вторая половина I в. до н. э. - IV век н. э.) базилик, обнаруженных в городах Декаполиса и Иудеи-Палестины, и их сравнительного описания; по возможности приводятся сведения об их расположении относительно сети улиц и других городских построек. В деталях рассмотрены постройки в Канате, Гиппос-Суссите, Нисе-Скифополе (2 здания), Бейт Шеариме, Севасте и Аскалоне. Выявлено явное предпочтение продольноориентированной базилики с внутренним амбулаторием. Перестройки с монументализацией пространств, условно называемых трибуналами, во II-III в., вероятно, были связаны с посещениями региона императорами и возросшей важностью культа императора. Базилика в еврейском Бейт Шеариме отличается от остальных трехнефной планировкой - возможно, из желания уподобить ее Царской стое Иерусалимского храма. Отмечен отказ от попыток реконструкции разрушенных землетрясениeм 363 г. базилик и от данной архитектурной формы в целом при переходе в Византийский период. In the current paper, an attempt is made to gather the data on the limited corpus of Roman (second half of the 1st century BC - 4th century AD) basilicas, known in the cities of Decapolis and Judaea-Palaestina. The comparative description is given; wherever available - together with information on relationship with the urban context. The basilicas of Kanata, Hippos-Susita, Nysa-Scythopolis (2 structures), Beth She'arim, Sebaste and Ascalon are described in detail; the preference of the “ambulatory” type is apparent. The 2nd-3rd centuries reconstructions with monumentalization of features, conventionally called “tribunals”, were likely related to the imperial visits to the region and to the growing importance of the imperial cult. The basilica of the Jewish town of Beth She'arim differs from the rest with its nave and double-aisled plan and was possibly influenced by the Royal portico of the Jerusalem temple. The tendency not to reconstruct basilicas damaged by the 363 earthquake and the general tendency of obsolescence of this architectural form towards the Byzantine period is noted.

Cette contribution s’intéresse aux vestiges de la Basilica Aemilia de Rome et de ses prédécesseurs. Les deux dernières tentatives de restitution de la Basilica Fulvia et Aemilia , manifestement fautives, sont confrontées à une nouvelle proposition qui correspond davantage à l’image d’une architecture romaine marquée par l’hellénisme. L’imposante construction érigée en 179 av. J.-C. sur le Forum piscarium a remplaçé une salle hypostyle à un seul niveau construite sur une trame très comparable à celle de la Salle hypostyle de Délos. Selon Tite-Live, l’édifice, qui fut le premier à recevoir le nom de basilica , avait été réalisé à la hâte pour remplacer provisoirement l’ Atrium regium , incendié en 210 av. J.-C. Le bâtiment détruit correspondait à la βασιλικὴ αὐλή de l’administration financière ptolémaïque. Comme elle, il servait de bourse pour le grand commerce. Les dénominations latines Atrium regium et Basilica s’appliquaient à deux bâtiments différents situés au même endroit à Rome. Lors de sa latinisation, le terme Basilica a été créé pour désigner la fonction du bâtiment. L’impressionnante halle de 179 av. J.-C., avec son espace intérieur couvert sans piliers, devait devenir, sous le nom de Basilica Aemilia , le prototype de la forme architecturale canonique de la basilique romaine décrite par Vitruve, qui a durablement marqué l’histoire de l’architecture en Occident. L’étude se termine par un plaidoyer en faveur d’un inventaire minutieux des vestiges architecturaux comme condition préalable à la détermination de la valeur antique du pied comme unité de mesure utilisée lors de la conception et de la réalisation d’un édifice antique. Seule cette mesure peut permettre d’accéder aux intentions planimétriques d’un maître d’œuvre antique.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of our study is to research Peter’s memory ad catacumbas. According to the Depositio Martyrum—a document of the late Emperor Constantine period—there was no memory of the first St. Peter’s Basilica on the Vatican Hill. We start with a critical analysis on the Roman Basilica attributed to Emperor Constantine in Liber Pontificalis, then we deepen the search of Peter’s memory in the catacombs of the Sts. Marcellinus and Peter (ad Duos Lauros), also known as Tor Pignattara. Indeed, the basilica and mausoleum built in this cemeterial area are the only buildings attributable, with certainty, to Emperor Constantine, who wished to be buried in the mausoleum, close to an apostle. Besides some striking archeological finds on Peter’s memory already discovered near a particular cubicle in these catacombs, a geometrical and mathematical study of the unusual architectonic characteristics of the basilica and mausoleum of Tor Pignattara shows that the buildings were part of a single architectonic plan, very likely designed for coding data useful to locate Peter’s burial site unambiguously, in the area of the cubicle mentioned.

The San Lorenzo Basilica in Florence is renowned for its Medici-infused Renaissance program, but there is a lesser-known phase of the Medici family's history in the basilica that unfolded in the 18th century. Between 1738 and 1743, Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, the last surviving member of the Medici line, oversaw extensive architectural and decorative interventions within the San Lorenzo complex. Her efforts to maintain the cultural heritage of her ancestors were heavily shaped by the imminent end of the Medici bloodline and the difficult transition of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
 This article explores Anna Maria's motivations for her elaborate renovation projects in the basilica, with a particular focus on two of her most notable commissions: Vincenzo Meucci's cupola fresco in the nave of the basilica and the new bell tower designed by architect Ferdinando Ruggieri. These two projects, the only ones completed by Anna Maria before her death, demonstrate her ambitions within the San Lorenzo and help to uncover several underlying premises for their conceptions.

Full textAbstract:
Research objectives: To study a group of mosques of Crimean Khanate’s period, namely, buildings with a flat beamed ceiling. To highlight various options for planning buildings and to search for their analogies. Research materials: Buildings of Crimean mosques from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, preserved to this day and known from archival materials. All Crimean mosques can be divided into two groups: domed buildings and buildings with flat beamed ceilings and a four-pitched roof. The second grouping is considered in this work. Research results: The consideration of a group of mosques with a flat rafter overlap allows us to divide them into two subgroups: basilicas and halls. The basilica constructions are rectangular buildings divided into naves by rows of columns or abutments supporting the beams. Buildings whose ceiling beams rest directly on the external walls can be attributed to hall mosques. Hall mosques, in turn, can be divided into square and rectangular in plan. Basilica mosques have been known in Crimea since the Golden Horde period. They have numerous analogies in the territory of Asia Minor where similar buildings appeared already in the twelfth century. In the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, a model of the official Seljuk mosque appeared on their basis. In the Ottoman period, the mosques of Asia Minor became mainly domed. In Crimea, along with the perception of the new fashion, the old Seljuk traditions were preserved. Rectangular hall constructions are simplified versions of basilicas, while square ones comprise the domed mosques. Novelty of the research: For the first time ever, an analysis of the complex of mosque buildings with flat beamed ceilings is carried out and various layout options are highlighted. In addition, a comparison is made with similar mosques both in Crimea of the Mongol period and Asia Minor of the Seljuk period.

Full textAbstract:
The Early Christian Basilica of Lechaion, Corinth, located on the western jetty of the ancient Lechaion harbour, was constructed during the late 5th century AD and archaeological excavations suggest that it was destroyed by seismic activity during 551-552 AD. Numerous depressions and buckling structures observed on the Basilica floor are indicative of ground deformation structures, likely associated with liquefaction. In an attempt to investigate the subsurface soil structure, and stratigraphy, a GPR survey and horizontal distribution of ground conductivity along ten selected transects was carried out, supplemented by stratigraphic data as described by archaeological trenches. The results of the study revealed subsurface deformation features providing sufficient indications that allow us to suggest that the surface structures observed on the Basilica floor are the surface expression of earthquake-induced ground liquefaction.

n 1983, the excavations in Karalez-Dere ravine at the north-western foot of Mangup discovered a church. The scholarship calls this structure the early mediaeval basilica from the seventh to tenth centuries. There are field documents and two excavation reports, but the results of the archaeological studies of the monument have not been published yet. Epigraphic finds have been introduced into scholarly circulation, but the discussion of their chronology continues. At the moment the location of the archaeological collection remains obscure. This article is the first publication of the capitals excavated at the “Karalez Basilica” and discovered in the collections of Crimean museums. Particular attention has been paid to their architectural analysis and chronology. The article addresses the question of the planning structure of the “Karalez Basilica”.

Full textAbstract:
The ruins at Yanıkhan form the remains of a Late Roman village in the interior of Rough Cilicia some 8 kilometres inland from the village of Limonlu on the road to Canbazlı (see Fig. 1). The site has not been frequently visited by scholars, and the first certain reference to its existence was made by the late Professor Michael Gough after his visit on 2 September 1959. Yanıkhan is now occupied only by the Yürüks who for years have wintered on the southern slopes of Sandal Dağ. The ancient settlement at Yanıkhan consisted of a village covering several acres. The remains are still extensive, and some, especially the North Basilica, are very well preserved, but there has been considerable disturbance in recent years as stone and rubble have been removed in order to create small arable clearings. The visible remains include many domestic buildings constructed both from polygonal masonry without mortar and from mortar and rubble with coursed smallstone facing. There are several underground cisterns and a range of olive presses. The countryside around the settlement has been terraced for agricultural purposes in antiquity, and is, like the settlement itself, densely covered with scrub oak and wild olive trees. The most impressive remains are those of the two basilical churches which are of little artistic pretension, but considerable architectural interest. The inscription which forms the substance of this article was found on the lintel block of the main west entrance of the South Basilica.

Full textAbstract:
The basilica located atop Mangup plateau in the south-western highland is one of the Christian monuments of the Crimea which research provided abundant archaeological materials. Especially interesting to historians are the data related to the investigations at the Christian cemetery which developed in different chronological periods within the basilica and around it. Supplementary excavations of the basilica (1967–2005) uncovered a series of carved tombstones, which featured the architectural properties different from early slab covering of the graves. The tombstones in question testify to the flourishing of the art of stone carving in Taurica in the fourteenth and fifteenth century. From their description and analysis, it is possible to draw the conclusions concerning the stone-carving art forms development in the mediaeval Crimea. It has been remarked that the Mangup stone-carvers considered the religion of the persons who lived there and paid especial attention to the decorative design of the monuments. In the making of the tombstones for the Christian cemetery at the basilica, the local stone-carvers applied artistic techniques taken from various styles (Byzantine, Seljuk, North Caucasus), which resulted in the appearance of specific “Mangup” style of architectural ornamentation. The local craftsmen re-worked decorative and carving techniques borrowed from foreign stone-carvers. The local products featured brevity and restrained manner.

Full textAbstract:
The Royal Basilica of Székesfehérvár was the burial place of fifteen Hungarian kings. Unfortunately, the anthropological findings excavated at the site of the Basilica were mixed up during the tumultuous centuries of Hungary, hence the royal remains still lie unidentified in a charnel-house. The appearance and rapid development of archaeogenetics now allows the personal identification of the royal skeletons from among the remains of the Basilica. The genetic information necessary for the identification of the Árpád dynasty members is accessible, while sequence data of the non-Árpádian kings’ relatives still need to be obtained by further genetic analysis. Here we provide an outline of the investigation for the identity of the royal skeletons: we sketch the process of sample preparation and DNA extraction, the steps of library preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and give a brief report of the current progressions.

Full textAbstract:
The Basilica of San Marco is a singular case in the field of Cultural heritage, as it constitutes a construction site always active for the maintenance and preservation of the basilica itself. The continuous intervention of conservation, due to the particular environmental conditions of Venice and the opening to the public, together with the complexity of the building itself, imposes the need to identify an optimized management system. For this reason, in 2013 the Procurator of St. Marco Basilica commissioned the construction of a 3D model of the Basilica to be used for the creation of a BIM. The model must meet the required precision of the scale of 1:50, and should also include, in addition to the geometric description, a description of the mosaic and marble surfaces of the basilica through high resolution orthophoto which are essential for the restoration of the mosaics. <br><br> The complexity of the church and the large and continuous flow of public led to work in non-optimal conditions especially for the acquisition stage. The basilica has certain peculiarities that led to some important choices, for example the use of photogrammetry instead of laser scanning technique. The same technique was preferred also by the need to realize, in addition to the geometric model, high-resolution orthophotos of marbles and mosaic surfaces. <br><br> The modelling of the basilica has highlighted a number of problems related to the building features. The basilica, indeed, is the result of the juxtaposition of elements (capitals, columns) with different origin, which therefore cannot be standardized in special libraries. Moreover, especially in the extensive mosaic areas, there are not edges that characterize the architecture, but only beveled surfaces. This has resulted in a change also in the modeling paradigm with the need to identify alternative systems even for the construction of simple elements. Therefore, we decided to model using NURBS since it is the method that allows greater adherence to reality and, at the same time, a model with acceptable dimensions in terms of navigation and usability. Only the most sculptural pieces such as capitals and statues have been replaced by mesh models. <br><br> As we were interested in different elaborations, the results of this work are a geometric NURBS model for the subsequent insertion into BIM environment, with the possibility of extracting two-dimensional drawings such as plans and sections, a mesh model with low resolution textures for online navigation and high resolution orthophotos. <br><br> The survey work and modeling has been almost completed for the interior of the basilica whereas only the external remains to be acquired and modeled. For the management of the entire work it was decided to use the data organization system already used by the Politecnico di Milano for the Duomo di Milano. The BIM3DSURVEY system will be essential not only to manage the finished model, but it has been very useful also during the construction phase because it allows us to divide the entire work into more work units. However, this system required some changes to meet the peculiarity of this BIM, in particular the need to append and link the orthophotos to real surfaces, in order to use the model also as a spatial index for the images.

In the present paper the GPR surveys carried out in two urban archaeological sites in Roma, characterised by different targets and environmental conditions, are presented and discussed. The first site, a portion of Palatine Hill (archaeological center area of Roma) is characterized by natural soil on the surface and an overlapping of many archaeological structures in its volume. The second site, St. John Lateran Basilica (Roma), is characterized by artificial medium as road pavement, outside the basilica, and ancient buildings, below the actual basilica.

Full textAbstract:
A fragmentary marble inscription, preserved in the Museum of Srem in Sremska Mitrovica, seems to mention the basilica of St. Anastasia: [In dom]o beati[ssimae dominae nost]re Anast[asiae. This monument provides epigraphic evidence on the cult place of the martyr in Sirmium, already recorded by written sources. According to the Passion of St. Demetrius, the church of St. Anastasia had already existed in Sirmium when Leontius, praetorian prefect of Illyricum, started the construction of the basilica of St. Demetrius. Although the find spot of the plate is not known, the finds of Ostrogothic coins next to the northern city wall imply that the basilica of St. Anastasia was located in that zone of the city, as the Ostrogoths highly respected the Martyr. It is possible that it should be identified with a martyrium leaning against the northern city wall that had been unearthed and then destroyed at the end of the 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The autologous radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best vascular access for patients on chronic hemodialysis. In some patients with inadequate blood vessels, it is necessary to create proximal AVF, or arteriovenous grafts. High percentage of primary graft failure is noted in cases where diameters of the brachial artery and the basilic vein are insufficient. The aim of this work was to introduce a new surgical technique for arteriovenous creation in patients with inadequate blood diameter. Case outline. The authors have proposed implantation of brachio-basilic polytetrafluoroethylene AV forearm loop graft in two acts. In the first act, the native brachio-basilic AVF was created in the distal region of the arm by side-to-end anastomosis. Three to four weeks after the first act, significant dilatation of brachial artery and basilic vein was noted (confirmed by the use of color duplex sonography technique). During the second act, polytetrafluourethylene graft was implanted by end-to-end anastomosis on the dilated basilica vein. Conclusion. AV graft that was created in two acts has sufficient blood flow without early or late complications. Primary patency was 30 months and secondary patency was 50 months. As an original method in the current literature, we recommend it in different clinical settings when there are no better alternatives for vascular access.

The intent of this study is to promote and raise awareness of the Basilica of Saint Catherina of Alexandria in Galatina, a church endowed with such beauty as to be defined as astounding. In this article two technologies were used: Spatial Augmented Reality, better known as videomapping, to valorize the monument and narrate its story through images and sounds; and Augmented Reality, to facilitate the reading and interpretation of the most important frescoes located along all the internal walls of the Basilica. The goal is to create a unique path starting from the Basilica façade and continuing and winding through the interior spaces. One of the most extensive and best conserved cycles of Late Gothic frescoes in all of Europe unfolds on the nave of the church covering every corner, from the keystones down to the floor. An in-depth bibliographic research confirmed the presence of frescoes also on the exterior of the Basilica façade whose traces, however, are no longer visible today. Pietro Cavoti’ s illustrations give an idea of how the façade has changed over the years, before, during, and after the restorations that permanently removed the already faint traces of frescoes. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the combined use of these technologies can be considered a valid aid to support the enhancement, fruition, and understanding of a monument that is very important for the cultural heritage sector and a reference point for the local and religious community.

The present paper presents a structural reconstruction of the building and initial stability analysis of its original geometry. The barrel vaults and groin vaults are analysed, together with the stability of the supporting and buttressing elements. This initial study yields that the original construction was stable. However, two of the three naves of the Basilica have collapsed and further study will be necessary for determining the causes of such structural failure.

Full textAbstract:
The traveller between Venice and Trieste may, if he knows where to look, catch a glimpse of a rather aggressive campanile in the coastal plain south of Cervignano. Slightly detached from the great basilica of Aquileia, rebuilt and then dedicated in 1031, the campanile was almost certainly intended by its builder, the Patriarch Poppo, as a gesture of derision towards its contemporary counterpart in Venice. With its foundations firmly skewering an Early Christian mosaic floor, it today overlooks a farmyard midden, the skeletal remains of a huge Roman city, and, of course, the splendid basilica.
