Article Citation - Scopus: 1Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’ne Ait Tripolis Mühür Baskıları(Fabrizio Serra Editore, 2023) B., DumanThis study analyses 191 terracotta seal impressions found in situ in a room located between the Agora and Colonnade Street in Tripolis, the last border town in the south of the Lydian region, most of which were brought to light during the 2014 excavation. The archive, which began its activity during the reign of emperor Augustus, was destroyed by a large fire in the mid-3rd century AD. After the fire, the documents on which the seals were impressed and their con-tents were completely destroyed, while the clay seals hardened due to the high temperatures and have survived to the present day. One of the main objectives of this paper is to discuss the iconographies used in the seal impressions and the general content of the original documents that were destroyed. Indeed, the seal impressions depict various gods and goddesses, as well as portraits both of Roman emperors and private persons, as well as animals and other figures. This collection of seal prints is an important visual testimony that concretely reveals the commercial, political, and administrative activities of Tripolis, and their images also provide important informa-tion about the gods and goddesses worshipped in and around the Lydian city. Roman Tripolis has thus provided us with new and very significant data thanks to the large number of seal impressions, which represent a unique discovery for the ancient cities of western Anatolia. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article An Assessment of the Urban Development of the Ancient City of Sillyon(Mersin Univ Publ Res Center Cilician Archaeology, 2025) Taskiran, MuratThe ancient city of Sillyon is located on a rocky hill with a height of about 235 m in the Kocag & ouml;zler locality of the Yank & ouml;y neighbourhood in the Serik district of the province Antalya and is one of the important ancient cities of the Pamphylian Region. The cite is a prominent ancient city with its archaeological multi-layered texture and with its historical and cultural assets. Throughout history, at the point of unification-conflict of cultures and civilizations, Sillyon bears the traces of many civilizations. It should be said that city planning, which became evident in the Hellenistic Period and then became institutionalised with the Roman Imperial Period, continued with similar standards and concerns in Late Antiquity, Byzantine and later Turkish-Islamic Periods. Thus, a traditional urban logic (eigenlogik) emerged in Sillyon, which represents an example of a multi-layered city that had been inhabited continuously from the early Iron Age until the Ottoman Period. This urban logic has a visual value that can be experienced even under the most unfavourable conditions and shows the high limits and strong tendency of the city. The main dynamic of this diachronic urban development is the morphological structure of the terrain, but, on the other hand, the urban planners of Sillyon created a successful and pragmatic urbanistic culture suitable for the city's difficult topography, according to the political and social structure of each period. In this paper, the urban logic (eigenlogik) of Sillyon is analysed from a diachronic perspective through the process of urbanisation and the city-specific practices and dynamics are shown. In addition, the buildings in Sillyon's city centre (core) will be analysed holistically from the perspective of settlement archaeology and a complete view of the urban fabric (panoptikon) will be created. Furthermore, the territory of Sillyon is analysed in terms of the territory owned or dominated, and the relational situation between the main city and its are discussed here.Article Geç Osmanlı ve İngiliz Mandası Döneminde Kudüs Yahudileri: Osmanlıcılık, Siyonizm ve Emperyalizm Karşılaşmaları(Muhammed Mustafa Kulu, 2025-04-30) Y., Avci; Y.E., Akyol; Akyol, Yunus Emre; Avci, YaseminWhen considering the integration of Jewish identity with a settled existence, the city which comes to mind of is undoubtedly Jerusalem. After explaining the importance of Jerusalem in Judaism, this study examines the social structure of the Jewish community in Jerusalem at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century in the context of Ottomanism, Zionism and imperialism. In the late 19th century, the social characteristics of Jerusalem's Jews indicated a fragmented structure, as they were made up of congregations that differed from each other in terms of language, historical origins, occupational profiles, religious rituals and daily practices. The division between Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities, living in separate communal organizations, deepened with the arrival of immigrant groups from Europe after 1882. The Jewish community in Jerusalem was greatly affected by the rise of Zionism and the growth of the Jewish population in Jerusalem, as well as by trends such as imperialism and orientalism, which shaped European attitudes towards Eastern societies. This period transformed Judaism from a religious to a national identity, and led to new debates about Jewish identity. The rise of Zionism not only disrupted social harmony between Jews and the Arab majority in Jerusalem and Palestine, but also exacerbated existing divisions within the Jewish community, creating a new distinction between the "old" and "new" Yishuv. The influence of Western norms on the Jewish community in Jerusalem was another factor in this process. The study presents the transformation of the Jewish community's social structure and its interaction with the local population of Jerusalem not just through ethnic and religious identities, but also as a multi-layered process shaped by global and regional political influences. © 2025, Muhammed Mustafa KULU.

In the current literature, the origins of the spatial and social segregation of the city have been traced back to the Ottoman period. The starting point for this approach is the vision constructed in the urban plans drawn up by European cartographers in the 19th century. These maps depict Jerusalem as a city sharply divided between religious communities. This study challenges that common view through an examination of the urban policies of the late Ottoman and British periods. The 19th-century urban plans of Jerusalem do not reveal the heterogeneity of the city and how the coexistence of different social groups shaped the space. The Ottoman census records and other types of archival documents provide data that contradict this segregationist view. They show that different religious communities intermingled within the walled city and that the claimed segregation did not actually exist. Yet, when Jerusalem came under British control in 1917, the image of a 'segregated' Jerusalem depicted in the drawings of European cartographers come to become a reality. The spatial fabric of Jerusalem was deeply affected by this process, which was dominated by British colonialism and urban planning practices that served colonialism. This suggestion is particularly evident in the four different urbanisation projects developed by William McLean (1918), Patrik Geddes (1919), Charles Robert Ashbee (1922) and Henry Kendal (1944). The urbanisation practices of the British administration created two separate urban settlements; in particular, the "green belt" turned the walled area into an "open-air museum" under the pretext of preserving the religious and historical heritage, while the settlement area outside the walls was reorganised according to the principles of modern European urbanism. As a result, the collective living spaces of Ottoman Jerusalem lost their function, and the social and spatial segregation became clearly visible. © 2025, Muhammed Mustafa KULU.

Archaeological investigations have revealed evidence of ancient life and natural disasters, with seismic activity as crucial factor. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake has heightened awareness of seismic threats to ancient ruins. The North City Gate complex exemplifies patterns of destruction and renewal, as seen after the 139 AD earthquake when Emperor Antoninus Pius provided 25,000 denarii for reconstruction. Construction expanded to include the Fountain Monument, North City Gate, North Colonnaded Street, and other Roman Imperial Period edifices. Following the 365 AD earthquake, repairs were overseen by Maximus of Stratonikeia, with the most recent significant seismic event in 1957. Current excavations continue to reveal evidence of historical seismic events, providing data for heritage preservation. The site's architectural features have been restored using anastylosis methodology to preserve cultural heritage for future generations. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Turkish is a language that utilizes intricate mechanisms for term formation. The Turkish language provides a view into the evolution of religious practice in the country, offering insights into the social history of the region. Historically, the Turks have adopted multiple religions and have cultivated words pertaining to these faiths within the constraints of their language. In the translation of copyrighted works into Turkish, much attention has been devoted to utilizing Turkish vocabulary and employing various linguistic formation techniques suitably. The research commences by assessing whether the processes of terminology formation have progressed in tandem with the evolution of the language. The translations of the Quran, a textual source that has shaped Turkish views for about 1000 years, offer significant insights for examining the evolution of religious terminology in Turkish. The work focusses on TIEM 73, one of the earliest Turkish translations of the Quran, and the exegesis produced in Uzbek Turkish, a continuation of the ancient Turkish language. This study employed comparative document analysis to investigate these works, with a particular focus on the formation tecniques of religious terminology that have been identified as lacking in the existing literature. In this context, emphasis was placed on analyzing religious terminology created through various ways, and conclusions were drawn accordingly. The study highlighted the abundance of Turkish religious vocabulary and underscored the necessity of establishing a unified terminology for religious concepts in Turkish Quran translations.Book Part The Socioeconomic Effects of the 2008 Crisis on Different Social Classes in Turkey(Taylor and Francis, 2012-07-26) M., Meder; H., SahinGlobalization represents intense economic, political, social, and cultural relations across international borders. In this sense, globalization can be characterized by the broadening linkages of national economies in a worldwide market for goods and services. The world market also defined by competitive capitalism, the importance of private property, and the virtue of individualism has become the dominant principle introduced by colonial and post-colonial forces in non-Western societies (Schuerkens 2008: 10). According to Giddens (1990), the process of globalization, especially worldwide markets, influence nation-states and their economies. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Urinary Tract Infections in Ancient Greece and Roman(Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, 2024) G., MutluThis study aims to assess the diagnostic and treatment methods used in ancient sources for urinary tract infections and to discuss some ancient practices that are reminiscent of the methods used by modern medicine with an analogy-based approach. As remains of ancient soft tissue diseases have not survived until the present day, our knowledge on this topic is limited primarily to knowledge conveyed by ancient authors being interested in community health, namely by Hippocrates (460-370 BC), Celsus (25 BC-50 AD), Pliny the Elder (23-65 AD), Dioscorides (MS 40-90), Rufus (1st-2nd century AD), Aretaeus (2nd century AD), and Galenos (129-216 AD). The study used the document analysis method, which involved analyzing original traditional medical texts, literary and historical works, and modern sources documenting the treatment of patients with urinary system disorders. It has been concluded that conservative treatments for urinary system diseases in antiquity resemble certain approaches found in the modern medical literature. The evaluations reveal that diagnosis and treatment information on urinary system disease have ancient Mesopotamia roots and findings pointing to a correlation between the kidneys and heart in ancient Egyptian civilization. Similarly, it was established that kidney disease and Diabetes Mellitus were considered interconnected in the Greek and Roman periods. Again, data regarding diagnosis and prognosis reminiscent of disorders defined as alkaptonuria, proteinuria, and urinary retention in modern medicine were encountered. © 2024, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

M. Aydoğdu, in the locality designated “Omarcı (Ömerci) Village” situated in the district of Şarkikaraağaç, Isparta. With the type of stone of the artefact it is an uncommon find for Şarkikaraağaç, Yalvaç and its surroundings. At the beginning of the research, it was noted that the tombstone was presented by T. Drew-Bear in 1993 at the “XIth Survey Results Meeting”, and it was determined that the original findspot of the tombstone was Afyonkarahisar / İscehisar. In 2004, the inscription was incorporated into a corpus by W. Ameling, which included Jewish inscriptions from Asia Minor. The studies that have been carried out thus far have not evaluated the reliefs and the iconography of the stele. Thus it would be beneficial to undertake a comprehensive revision of the work and present it to the scientific community in a more holistic manner, with a synthesis of both archaeological and epigraphic perspectives. © 2024 Phaselis Research Station.
