Abstract

This article examines the modifications that sanctuaries went through in Late Antiquity (roughly the fourth-seventh centuries C.E.) by focusing on the conversion of the Temple of Aphrodite in Aphrodisias into a church. This period was marked by the mental and physical conflict between pagans and Christians, as a result of which several pagan temples were converted into churches. This conversion was relatively peaceful at Aphrodisias like many other cities of Asia Minor. In Ephesus and Hierapolis, just like at Aphrodisias, further changes took place in the cultural life of the churches; they housed ad sanctos burials that replaced the abandoned necropoleis.

Özet

Bu makalede, Küçük Asya'daki kutsal alanların Geç Antik Dönem'de (yak. M.S. 4.-7. yüzyıllar arası) geçirdiği dönüşümler, Aphrodisias kentindeki Aphrodite Tapınağı özelinde incelenecektir. Bu döneme, paganlar ile Hıristiyanlar arasındaki düşünsel ve fiziksel çatışma damgasını vurmuş, bu çatışmanın sonucu olarak da birçok tapınak kiliseye çevrilmiştir. Aphrodisias'ta bu dönüşüm birçok kentte olduğu gibi göreceli olarak barışçıl olmuştur. Ephesos ve Hierapolis'te de, tıpkı Aphrodisias örneğinde olduğu gibi kiliselerin kültürel yaşamında başka değişiklikler de olmuş, örneğin kilise ve çevresi, terkedilen kent dışı nekropollerin yerini doldurmak üzere ad sanctos gömü alanına dönüştürülmüştür.
