Saints and pilgrims in the Lykos valley (Asia Minor)
Abstract
The results of recent archaeological excavations and surveys in the cities of the valley of Lycus conducted by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Hierapolis and by the University of Pamukkale in Laodikeia are presented in the article. Investigations in Hierapolis revealed the extramural sanctuary built around the tomb of the Apostle Philip and helped to restore the pilgrim route. Findings in Laodikeia allow a new reading of the urban development of Byzantine city and its monuments, analogous to that of Hierapolis and St. Philip's tomb, which may be connected with the city’s bishop Sagaris.
