From Procnnessos to Odessos: Unfinished Roman Marbles from Odessos and Marcianopolis
نویسنده
چکیده
I the article several unfinished and semi-finished Roman period artifacts made of Proconnesian marble have been described and discussed. They were discovered in the ancient cities of Odessos and Marcianopolis (in Moesia Inferior) and have been dated to the 2nd-3rd c. AD. Among them are gabled sarcophagi, a fluted capital and two statues: of Heracles and the Thracian Horseman. These finds evidenced the mutual import by sea of pre-fabricated marbles as well as raw material – marble blocks from Proconnesian quarries to Odessos, where from some of the goods have been transferred by land deep inside the Province of Moseia Inferior.

The process resulted in formation of Janus-marbles. “Sandwich” marbles enclosing solid foamed polystyrene particles and built from immiscible liquids are reported. A broad variety of organic and non-organic powders gives rise to Janus and “sandwich” marbles.
