The architecture of the temple at Baitokaike shares the
characteristics that are typical of the Phoenician region
especially during the imperial era. Baitokaike corresponds to that
Phoenician tradition, but our knowledge about the foundation of
these shrines and their development is still limited. This study
aims to deepen this topic, while proposing new chronological phases
of the site, starting from the time when it was an open cult place,
through the architectural analysis of its buildings. In addition,
it reexamines the Seleucid and Roman privileges of the sanctuary in
order to extend our understanding of the territory of Baitokaike:
agriculture, production and trade, the connecting roads and
transport to nearby urban centers. Finally, the study of the
iconography of the Greco-Latin inscriptions on site reveal the
nature of the Zeus cult at Baitokaike as well as the rituals and
processions that took place in the sanctuary. This monograph also
contains three appendices. The first is a collection of the
Greek-Latin inscriptions found on the site, and includes an
unpublished inscription found on an altar in the sanctuary. The
second appendix constitutes a numismatic study of 46 coins
uncovered during the excavation of 2004. Finally, the last appendix
presents a catalogue of selected archaeological finds like pottery
sherds, bronze and bones objects; Il complesso di Baitokaike (Hoson
Sulaiman) e considerato uno degli esempi piu peculiari di santuari
rurali romani in Siria che pongono la problematica relativa alla
creazione dei luoghi di culto extraurbani e il loro sviluppo
architettonico durante il periodo classico. Questo lavoro si
propone di affrontare tale problematica su un piano archeologico e
storico esaminando nel dettaglio la morfologia spaziale e
architettonica del complesso di Baitokaike tramite un'analisi
comparata dei suoi edifici con altre strutture religiose siriane e
dell'Asia Minore, e mediante una accurata classificazione delle sue
evidenze epigrafiche, numismatiche e di altri materiali
archeologici, per lo piu inediti, provenienti dai recenti scavi nel
sito. Il libro e teso a discutere anche lo status politico e
amministrativo di Baitokaike e il suo territorio sacro durante
l'epoca ellenistica e romana tramite uno studio epigrafico delle
sue iscrizioni, soprattutto quelle relative ai privilegi concessi
dai Seleucidi e confermati successivamente dagli imperatori romani.
Il fulcro di questo lavoro, dunque, e quello di riesaminare
l'architettura del complesso monumentale di Baitokaike e di
proporre un suo nuovo inquadramento cronologico.
