The volume presents a study of the ivories found in the so-called “Hanghaus 2” at Ephesus. After the meticulous restoration and conservation of the small fragments, the “big frieze” as well as further sculptures were put together and reconstructed. The first part of the study includes a detailed description of the development of restoration and reconstruction, while the second part gives an interpretation of the objects based on iconographic and stylistic criteria. The ivories, originally part of the furnishing, were found in 1968 and 1969 in two rooms (SR 18 and SR 28) of the “Hanghaus 2”. The restoration of the “big frieze” and the other objects continued until 1982 and lead to the final arrangement of the individual items. More than 1000 fragments of different heights were put together to a frieze showing Roman emperors with their entourage, barbarians as well as battle scenes between Romans and barbarians. It can be dated to Traianic times and related to the military expedition of the emperor against the Parths. Other ivories, like the reliefs representing gods, heroes und signum-carriers or statuettes as well as portraits may be dated to the second quarter of the 3rd century AD. All of the ivories were destroyed by an earthquake in 262 AD, which result in the complete devastation of the “Hanghaus 2”. more...
