Archaeology and urban settlement in late Roman and Byzantine Anatolia : Euchaèita-Avkat-Beyèozèu and its environment

Haldon, John F., editor, Elton, Hugh, editor, Newhard, Jim, editor

Overview

\"The site of medieval Euchaèita, on the northern edge of the central Anatolian plateau, was the centre of the cult of St Theodore Tiro ('the Recruit'). Unlike most excavated or surveyed urban centres of the Byzantine period, Euchaèita was never a major metropolis, cultural centre or extensive urban site, although it had a military function from the seventh-ninth century. Its significance lies precisely in the fact that as a small provincial town, something of a backwater, it was probably more typical of the 'average' provincial Anatolian urban settlement, yet almost nothing is known about such sites\"-- Provided by publisher.
