Aphrodisias is located in the inner parts of the ancient Caria region, in today's Aydın province, Karacasu district, Geyre District. The city was famous for its sculptural works and the local cult of Aphrodite in ancient times. The city's monuments and artifacts from the Roman period and Late Antiquity are exceptionally well preserved, and the life that continued in the area from the early Roman Imperial Period until the 1970s, when Geyre Village was moved out of the ancient city, can be followed very well archaeologically. The ancient city of Aphrodisias was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2017. The main reason for this is that the city is well preserved and the ancient sculptural processes and honor culture can be well documented in the area. Today, the excavations carried out in cooperation with New York and Oxford Universities focus on six main research topics: 1) Tetrapylon Street 2) Basilica and Diocletian's Price Edict 3) Palm Park (South Agora) and Pool 4) Sebasteion Temple 5) Kybele House 6) Museum Courtyard Exhibition Hall. The main aims of the research project are to understand and publish all historical processes of the city; To research the unearthed structures and works with all their processes and publish them with their contexts, to protect, maintain and repair them and to ensure their continuity; To ensure that works and monuments become accessible and understandable to visitors. This article is a summary and compilation of excavation results reports of the last 8 years.

This article offers an account of Roman imperial cameos as an archaeological category, and argues that the production of large high-quality cameos was more restricted in time than currently allowed; that the controversial dates and subjects of individual cameos need to be set in the wider sequence of the main examples; and that early imperial praise poetry sits in relationship to court cameos in a way that can be usefully investigated around their shared concern to understand the particular character of imperial divinity. An Appendix gives details of forty-one examples illustrated and discussed.

Journal of Roman Studies
A remarkable blue-grey marble horse with a white marble rider, found in the Basilica at Aphrodisias, has been a focus of recent research. The article describes the archaeology and history of the monument—how it can be reconstructed, with its base and in its precise setting in the Basilica. The group was a daring composition that had already fallen and been restored once in antiquity. What emerges is firstly a new full-size hellenistic-style statue group whose subject can be identified as Troilos and Achilles, and secondly a striking example of the long second lives of classical statues in late antiquity. The horse was a great public monument of the early imperial period that was moved to the Basilica probably in the mid-fourth century AD, where it has a well-documented context. The subject of the group can be identified both from epigraphy and from its iconographic antecedents, and its version of the subject can be related to a particular strand in the rich later literary representations of the story.

Classics in Progress
<p>This chapter explores the visual aspect, a territory shared with archaeology and art history. The Greek and Roman world poured an astonishing amount of its surplus into expensive monuments and elaborate public images, and their study is naturally an important part of classical archaeology. Unlike many other archaeologies, this subject studies a world extremely well documented by abundant and diverse literary and textual evidence, and it is thus part of the wider classics project. The discussion explores some of the great gains made by recent work in this area and some of the remaining deficiencies. Gains have resulted from application of historically based questions, while deficiencies arise from the still largely untheorised nature of this subject's research and discourse.</p>

Survey, documentation, and excavation projects carried out at Aphrodisias between 1999 and 2001 focused on the study of the city plan, and on the City Wall, the Stadium, the North Agora, the Bouleuterion, the Bishop's Palace, and the Basilica. Research outside the city consisted of limited excavation in three areas just northeast of the City Wall, and a brief survey of known extramural tombs and other structures. Site conservation projects included the beginning of a long-term program for the conservation of the Bouleuterion and a series of emergency repairs to the walls of the Stadium. Sculpture conservation projects continued with trial restorations of two of the Sebasteion reliefs, and the restoration and installation in the Aphrodisias Museum of two portrait statues of boxers found in the Theater in the 1970s. New finds of sculpture include seven sarcophagi from the southeast necropolis and an important Late Antique portrait head. This head belongs to the chlamydatus statue of the governor Oecumenius (ca. A.D. 400) excavated in 1965 in the north stoa of the North Agora together with its inscribed base.
