ABSTRACT

A Roman inscribed grave stela with a rare depiction of a sprit-rigged vessel was discovered in 1998 in the west necropolis of Saraylar on Marmara Island (ancient Proconnesos, modern Balıkesir Province, Turkey). Dated to the 2nd–3rd century AD, it was stolen in 2002 and recovered in 2016, and is now housed at the Bandırma Archaeological Museum. This article details new information provided by this and other Roman sprit-rig depictions documented since the 1950s, and discusses the possible roles of sprit-rigged vessels in Roman trade on the Sea of Marmara and Aegean.

来自土耳其马尔马拉岛 (Proconnesos) 的罗马精灵索具船图

摘要

1998 年，在马尔马拉岛（古普罗康内索斯岛，今土耳其巴勒克西尔省）的 Saraylar 西部墓地中发现了一块刻有罗马铭文的墓碑，上面罕见地描绘了一艘螺旋桨船。它的历史可追溯至公元 2 至 3 世纪，于 2002 年被盗，并于 2016 年被找回，现收藏于班德尔马考古博物馆。本文详细介绍了自 1950 年代以来记录在案的该图和其他罗马螺旋桨船描述提供的新信息，并讨论了螺旋桨船在马尔马拉海和爱琴海的罗马贸易中可能发挥的作用。
