Some Recent Early Byzantine Sculptural Finds from Tarsus
Abstract
The recent archaeological works carried out at the central square Cumhuriyet of Tarsus brought to light several sculpted architectural members, although nothing survives from its medieval past. The sculpted members, all of Proconnesian marble, can be dated in the early 6th century according to the stylistic observations made. The affinities that these pieces showcase with similar pieces from Constantinople allow their attribution to a workshop of the Capital from where they must have been exported to Tarsus.
