In the article the beginning of the study of marble architectural
details brought to Tauric Chersonesos
from Byzantine workshops is considered. The first author who turned to the
study of the early Byzantine basilica of Tauric Chersonesos and their marble decor was Alexandr L. Bertier Delagarde. He made an important conclusion about
the origin of marbles from Proconessos, but the
dates he proposed were not confirmed. Unfortunately,
the excavations of Tauric Chersonesos
under the guidance of the Archaeological Commission (Sankt-Petersburg) was conducted not professionally, therefore there is no
information on the structure with which the capitals and other elements are
connected. The publication of the marble catalog conceived by Dmitry V. Ainalov did not take place. For the first time the
typological and chronological classification of the marbles of Tauric Chersonesos was first
realized by Anatoly L. Yakobson more than a century
later and a quarter after the beginning of the excavations of the basilicas
of Tauric Chersonesos. |
Key words: archaeology,
historiography, architecture, Tauric Chersonesos, Byzantine marble. |
