Abstract

This article deals with architectural evaluation as well as hypothetical reconstruction of a temple-tomb which is located in Caesarea, (modern Kayseri) in Cappadocia. The temple-tomb is situated on top of a hill facing a valley approximately at 7 km northwest of the town of Felahiye in Kayseri. Our works carried out on the temple-tomb revealed that the building was built as tetrastyle prostylos in plan during the Roman Imperial period, most probably, in the second half of the 2nd Century AD. The tomb has a podium in a rectangular form and its pronaos was demolished. The naos and its vaulted ceiling have remained preserved to a large extent until today. The waUs of the building were built with rectagonal marble blocks which were connected to each other with clamps. Corinthian capital plasters adorn the four corners at the exterior of the building. The entablature of the building comprises of architrave -frieze blocks and cornice (console-geison and sima blocks). The building was published by H. Gregoire in 1909 after his visit to the region and some photographs of the building were also provided his publication. The building is a good example for Roman templetombs in Cappadocia, particularly with its architectural and technical characteristics. This article proposes a hypothetical restitution of the temple-tomb based on recent works and new research carried out by the author.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde Kappadokia Eyaleti sınırları içerisinde yer alan, günümüzde Kayseri İli, Felahiye İlçesi’nin yaklaşık 7 km kuzeybatısında, vadiye bakan bir tepe üzerinde inşa edilmiş olan mezar anıtı arkeolojik açıdan İncelenmektedir. M.S. 2. yüzyılın ikinci yansında, tetrastyl prostylos tapınak planlı olarak inşa edilmiş olduğunu saptadığımız, bir podyum üzerinde yükselen dikdörtgen formlu mezar anıtının pronaos kısmı yıkılmıştır. Anıtın iç mekanı - naosu ile tonoz üst örtüsü büyük oranda korunarak günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Yapının duvarları, birbirlerine kenetlerle bağlanmış rektagonal mermer bloklarla inşa edilmiştir. Dış cephenin dört köşesi korinth başlıklı pilasterlerle vurgulanmıştır. Pilaster başlıkların üst hizasından itibaren, tüm dış cephe boyunca devam eden mzto-friz blokları ile diş sırası, konsollu geison, sima blokları yer almaktadır. 1909 yılında, H. Gregoire’ın Kappadokia’ya yaptığı seyahat sonrası birkaç fotoğraf ile yayınlamış olduğu, anıtsallığı, mimari-teknik özellikleri ile Anadolu Roma Dönemi tapmak biçimli mezar anıtlarına güzel bir örnek olan bu yapı için, yeni verilere ve araştırma sonuçlarına dayanan restitüsyon önerisi bu çalışmayla sunulmaktadır.
