This article is the first publication of the collection
of Early Byzantine marble products from Tauric Chersonesus stored in the State
Historical Museum
(Moscow). It
includes several capitals, fragments of chancel barriers and other interior
elements. Objects from the State Historical Museum
are compared with the large collection of marbles located in the State
Historical and Archaeological Museum—Reserve “Tauric Chersonesus” (ancient Chersonesus,
modern Sevastopol).
The article gives an idea of the scale and nature of the import of marble
from Byzantine Prokonnessian workshops into Chersonesus, mainly in the second half of the 5th
and in the 6th centuries.
