Abstract

This work is dedicated to the memory of Professor José María Blázquez with whom I had a close friendshipand whose wise advice helped me to continue my research into the field of mosaics. I will focus on the Hispanicmosaics of Castilla, Aragón and Navarra.We know that gods invoked in thermal spaces ranged from the nymphs to Apollo, Minerva, Jupiter, Juno, Fortune or, for quite some time, even Bormanicus. The image of Medusa was also regarded as the carrier of healingblood, which was kept in the veins of her right arm, and that would be used by Asclepius in his resurrections.On the other hand, it is not unusual to find mosaics with the image of Medusa associated with the gods of hotsprings. Objects such as shells, craterae, jars and jugswere part of its symbolic repertoire,which is, in turn,an inexpensive way to represent otherwise more elaborate motifs. In Hispania the said associations are tracesof former pre-Roman cults, which would later syncretise with those beliefs imposed by the Roman civilisation.The fact that the higher concentration of mosaics displaying craterae, shells, etc. are located at specificenclaves where waters can be often found in situor not far from the location led us also to believe that there isa connection between the ornamental motifs of mosaics and the curative waters. It will be through this analysisthat we will clarify this approach.

Özet

Bu çalışma, yakın dostum olan Profesör José María Blázquez'in anısına adanmıştır ve kendisinin bilge tavsiyeleri, mozaikler üzerine yaptığım araştırmalarımı sürdürmeme yardımcı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Castilla, Aragón ve Navarra'daki İspanyol mozaiklerine odaklanılacaktır. Termal suların olduğu mekânlarda nympheler, Apollon, Minerva, Iupiter, Iuno, Fortuna ve hatta bir dönem Bormanicus'tan bile yardım istendiği bilinmektedir. Hatta sağ kolunun damarlarında şifalı kan dolaştığına inanılan Medusa da iyileştirici kanın taşıyıcısı olarak kabul edilmiş, ve bunun, Asklepios tarafından yeniden canlandırmada kullanıldığına inanılmıştır. Öte yandan, kaplıca tanrıları ile beraber tasvir edilmiş Medusa betimli mozaikler bulmak sıra dışı değildir. Örneğin deniz kabuğu, krater, vazo ve sürahi gibi nesneler sembolik repertuvarın birer parçasıydı ve bu da, daha ayrıntılı motiflerin bezenmesinin daha ucuz bir yoludur. İspanya'da, söz konusu betimler Roma öncesi kültlerin izleri olup; bu, daha sonra Roma Uygarlığı’nın getirdiği inançlarla uyumlu hale gelecektir.
