    Preface

    The publication of ANODOS 10/2010 contains 27 articles in English and German whichwere presented in the form of papers and posters at the international conference ThePhenomena of Cultural Borders and Border Cultures Across the Passage of Time (From theBronze Age to Late Antiquity) which was held in Trnava on the 22th - 24th of October 2010.The participants consisted of scholars from eleven countries (Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia,Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, the USA and the Slovak Republic).Graduate and post-graduate students from Trnava participated in both the organization of theconference and the actual programme. The conference was organized on the occasion of the375thanniversary of Universitas Tyrnaviensis (1635-1777), the rst university in the territoryof the Kingdom of Hungary, which then included the historical town of Trnava. The currentrenewed Trnava University in Trnava (1992), situated in the Slovak Republic, follows the ideasand academic identity of the original university.

    At the same time, in 2010 it had been ten years since the Department of Classical Archaeo- logy at Trnava University had established the tradition of organizing international scienticconferences on specic themes in chronological sequence from the Late Bronze Age to LateAntiquity. The idea came from Prof. Dr. Mria Novotn, the founder of the Department and ofthe Classical Archaeology study programme in Slovakia. The conferences have been held everytwo-three years so far (in 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2007) and they have had the following themes:Contacts between Middle Europe and the Mediterranean, Jewellery and Costume, Armsand Armour, and Cult and Sanctuary through the Ages. Contributions have been published

    in four volumes of Anodos - Studies of the Ancient World (1/2001, 3/2003, 4-5/2004-2005 and6-7/2006-2007). Another conference of this kind was organized under the title Trade andProduction through the Ages at Selcuk University in Konya (Turkey) in 2008, in co-operationwith Selcuk University (our partner institution).

    The conference in 2010 and the publication of its proceedings have been nanciallysupported by the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic (Project VEGA No. 1/0408/09)and by the voluntary association Pro Archaeologia Classica.

    Funeral Rites and Cultural Diversity in Hellenistic CariaBased on Epigraphic and Archaeological Evidence

    Keywords:Altar Tombs,Grave Temenos, Heroon, Temple Tombs,Inscriptions, Caria

    Abstract:The object of interest is examination of the epigraphic and archaeological evidence related to theburial rites in the Hellenistic period characteristic by the variety of funeral monuments.New cogitationsand techniques of funeral architecture appeared in the whole Hellenistic world but in Caria strong localtradition is in evidence. The heroic aspects of the deceased are best to be observed by examining the

    particular monuments and their architectural symbols as well as epigraphic evidence and contextual

    data. Aim is to accentuate that necropoleis and singular grave temenoi in particular were space whereliving interacted with the world of dead. Burial rites can be partial reconstruct with the help of supportiveinformation however they did not survive in the form of material nds.

    Southwest shore of Caria is where several dierent cultural inuences happened tointermix. This resulted in the formation of Greco-Carian cultural zone. The inuence of the Greekculture had major impact on later development of religious, funeral and urban architecture inthis region. Indispensable was the inuence of domestic ethnicities, especially under rule ofthe local dynasty of Hekatomnids (390-330 BC). During this period, designated also as IonianRenaissance of Caria1,the region was intensely hellenized: modern cities were projected, therefore

    the region quickly became part of later Greek world. Euergetism was the main mechanismof public building program. In Hellenistic period this practice expanded to the whole Cariaand became one of the characteristics of this era. Two primary changes should be mentioned:members of the local ruling dynasties became notable euergetai of numerous poleis and manywealthy individuals adopted this model2. Eort to obtain heroic status post mortem is visible

    by development of funeral architecture: especially by the construction of the monumental builttombs and numerous epigraphic evidence.

    On the basis of current research it is presumed that monumental funeral architecture earlyappeared on the western coast of Asia Minor3. Monumental tombs of rulers, like in Halicarnassusand Belevi, were built, which has signicant meaning for later sepulchral architecture. Majorityof the Hellenistic monumental tombs represent expressive and symbolic edicial structures

    built for glorication and illustration of the power and wealth: they served as sanctuaries forworship of heroic deceased as well. This model was accepted rst by members of ruling dynastsand later by various social groups. The funeral architecture in Caria reects cultural, religiousand social conventions in the lives of inhabitants. Burial continuity and maintenance of localelements still remained: occurrence of heroon, unlike the other prevailing funeral monumentssituated right in or close to the urban structures. Funeral temenoi seem to be separated fromcivic landscape and their sacral character demands separations from world of living. Perceptionof the status of the deceased, who inuences the life of the mortals, is essential componentspart of the oldest cult of the dead4. To obtain help of the ancestor sacrice close to his tomb wasrequired (Fig. 1, 2).

    Monumental tombs as an object ofancestor cult are connected with Mausoleumin Halicarnassus and other Carian chambertombs. Scientists generally admit that ancestorcult had important role within reigning groupof society in the Archaic and Classical Caria5.The funeral practice of the Greek cities of AsiaMinor was building the sepulchral chamber forhimself and his family by wealthy citizen duringlife. In principle this was a rectangular burialchamber, sometimes with small entrance roomand vaulted niches inside for the sarcophagi.High podium of the tomb eectively separatesthe deceased from the world of living and istreated as a consequence of the older Anatolian

    tradition. This concept was later widelydispersed and frequently occurred in the Romanperiod6. Funeral altars as architectural elementare one of the most prevailing substructuresof burial temenoi on the Carian coastlandand neighbouring islands7. Their presencesuggests the space for sacrice and supports theperception that the deceased was recipient ofcult activities (Fig. 3).

    Heroization of the deceasedHeroization of the deceased via family members is derivate from older cult of heroes and

    ancestor cult8. Certain model of the Bronze Age cultic activity appeared again in the Classicaland Hellenistic period. The oldest heroes, who obtained divine aributes and honours postmortem, were usually mythic entities - city founders, law-givers, or gentilicial ancestors. Laterthis conception was basically changed: the prominent citizens obtained heroic honours aertheir death. It is not accidental that private heroic cult can be visible during the Hellenistic era.It is assumed that consequences of political and legislative changes within the polis aordedthe opportunity for renewal these habits. The individual need to accentuate the social role isemphasized and started to boom simultaneously with the lost political and cultural orientationon polis9. With languishing meaning of polis in the Hellenistic age individuals were seeking for

    ancestor adoration, by way of honours and divinization post mortem. In the Hellenistic funeralinscriptions from this area the term is aested: not only as message of the heroic deceasedbut also as recipient of the cult activity10(Fig. 4-7).

    Monumental tombs have special status in the history of the Hellenistic architecture whiletheir local formal variation make the typological unication more dicult. Monuments on thesouth-west coast of Asia Minor evidently contributed to development of later types more than

    just by simple architectonic details. Rock-cut tombs with temple facade and various subgroups of

    built tombs (altar tombs, column and portico tombs, close units grave temenoiand temple tombs)11refer

    to the aim of the heroization of deceased. It is closely connected with the aspects of elevation ofthe dead: by the help of architectural elements (high stepped podium, elevated burial chamber),features originated from sacral architecture or decorative elements accentuating heroic status,which all played an important role for later development of such kind of buildings. Theseaspects are preferably discerned by preserved architectural features of singular buildings andcontextual situation as well. Besides the architectonical structures it is funeral altar- -with free standing lion statuesthat represents instalment of various tombs and grave temenoi(Fig. 8, 9).

    Mentionedarchaeological ndings suggest that necropoleis and grave temenoi in particularwere places for interaction of the living with the dead and uniquely refer to the dead asrecipient of cultic activity. Organizing commemorative ceremonies on the honor of the deceased

    member of family was considered as one of the essential duties in the life of ancient society.

    Epigraphic evidence

    Besides archaeological ndings the epigraphic evidence refers to the deceased as recipientof cultic activity the best. Various kinds of inscriptions help us to understand how did the gravetemenoi with miscellaneous monuments functionate, how the world of living was connectedwith the world of dead and to reconstruct burial habits that did not survive in the form ofmaterial resources as well. In advance several types of inscriptions, which concern deceased,way of burial and honours post mortem, can be dened: funeral inscriptions (tituli sepulchrales),honoric inscriptions (tituli honorarii), consolation decrees (tituli memoriales) and varia (e.g.sacral calendars). Honours mentioned in honorary inscriptions are widely similar to the privateactivities of the commemorative rites: crowning (the grave), positing the altar, giving oeringsor organizing funeral banquets etc.

    A fragment of stela (w. 37 cm, h. 47 cm, d. 14.5 cm), which became clearly of interestto a wide range of scholars, was discovered in Labranda in 2002 13. The inscription is part ofa honorary decree for Olympichos, son of Olympichos, who have been active in western Cariain the second half of the 3rdcentury BC. In the text below is Olympichos, governor or strategosof Mylasa district, referred as benefactor, who obtained status resembling the city founders - . The decree was probably issued by the people and the council of Mylasa.Original text is dated to the 240 BC, its copy comes from the end of the 2 ndcentury BC. It ispresumed that the rituals for Olympichos were still performed or inscription was copyied what

    indicates that they were abound to be renewed in the time of unstable political situation.

    Translation: ...with all... and let (the same honours) be valid for his descendents as well. A bronzestatue of him shall be set up in the sacred agora in the most conspicuous place. Also, a ve pecheis tallbronze statue of the People shall be set up, crowning the statue of Olympichos. On the base shall bewrien: The People (crowns) Olympichos son of Olympichos as a benefactor. And in front of the statueshall be founded an altar for him in white stone similar to the one for Maussollos in the sanctuary ofZeus Labraundos. In his honour a procession and an oering shall be arranged every year at the 14th ofthe month of Apellaios, the day on which the People regained its freedom and democracy. The oering forhim shall consist of two bulls, and on this day participants in the feast will be the priests, the victors inthe stephanic games, and all the magistrates. The priests shall take care of the oering and the banquetand the treasurers provide the expense from the common revenues. A truce for all shall reign for threedays. The citizens and all the others shall come together wearing crowns during these days. He shall alsobe praised in hymn during the quadrennial Taureia in the same way as for the city founders. It shall be

    proclaimed at the gymnic games for Zeus Osogo that the People crowns Olympichos son of Olympichosas a benefactor of the city with the gold crown and a statue in bronze for his virtue and his benefactionstowards it. To ensure that it will be apparent to all how the People of Mylasa honours its benefactors, and

    in order to commemorate him this decree shall be inscribed on stelai of stone and one of them placed in thesanctuary of Zeus Labraundos14.

    Procession, sacrice, solemn banquet or crowning was regular part of funeral andcommemorative rites for the deceased. Some of honours mentioned above are more special anddesignated for members of ruling dynasts: rituals for Olympichos shall be included in the culticcalendar of Mylasa and to have an altar or statue in the agora was an honour appropriate toa hellenistic monarch. Similar kind of honours together with appropriate funeral monuments -were primarily established for rulers, nobles and other persons of power. Over time reciprocallyspread within the wealthy members of society and in many Greco-Roman cities are aested forlocal benefactors. Honorary decree for Adrastus of Aphrodisias dated to the third quarter of the1st century AD reers about heroon, public burial and burial rites within the city. Inscription,

    though dated to the Roman period, reects older burial tradition aested in Hellenistic times.Translation:...? because of] his generosity to the People, behaving with goodwill for the common

    interest in all things, having continuously provided everything what was deserving of honor. In returnfor which the People gave and decreed for him burial and funerary rites in the city, in the public ergasteriaopposite the Council-chamber, returning his goodwill as stated in the decree. Now, when the council wasdiscussing these maers, Adrastus came forward, being on this occasion too concerned for his native cityand, unwilling that the income of the city should be reduced, but preferring what was helpful for the city,thought it proper that the place of the tomb should be relocated in ?his own ergasteria; it was decided bythe Council and the People, that while the original decree of a tomb should stand, he should be allowed to

    prepare the Heroon in ?his own ergasteria15.The marble block (w. 91 cm, h. 37 cm, d. 46 cm) seems like a building block of the wall of

    the tomb implied in the text. Burial within the city and funerary rites - presumably not onlythose of the actual funeral but regular rituals that would take place at heroon - are exceptional16.Heroon - in contrary of burial temenoi - is situated right in or close to the urban structures. Thisterm designates a funerary monument at which cult of hero was perpetuated. It can be a singleedice or sumptuous funerary ensemble. Will of Epiktete, one of the most important epigraphictestimonials relating to private hero cult in Hellenistic period, describes the dead as heroesand their resting places as memorial edices where cult activities were held17. Since Hellenisticperiod private hero cult housed in sizeable structures sprang up in numerous localities of south-west coast of Asia Minor.

    Epigraphic evidence also inform about honours conferred on individuals with lowersocial status. Sacrice for heroic descent could have a symbolic meaning that has survived untilthe Roman Age18. Archaeological ndings meanwhile refer to the dead as a recipient of culticactivity. Location of the tomb created the decisive and inseparable aspect of its inheritance andmeaning. In Caria there are numerous examples of sepulchral buildings situated within thenecropoleis and tombs located in inhabited area as well. Tomb space was oen enclosed bywalls creating grave temenos.
