TRACES OF THE GOD DIONYSUS IN THE SOUTH NECROPOLIS OF TRALLEIS: A TERRACOTTA MASK

The Southern Necropolis of Tralleis is an important city of antiquity and lies beneath the modern city center of Ayd & imath;n. Numerous salvage excavations have been conducted by the Ayd & imath;n Archaeology Museum in response to construction activities and illegal excavations that have uncovered graves throughout the urban area. This study focuses on a terracotta mask recovered during a rescue excavation at Grave No. 1 in Parcel 28, Block 419, within the boundaries of the Tralleis Ancient City's Third-DegreeArchaeological Site, located in the K & ouml;pr & uuml;l & uuml; Neighborhood of the Efeler District. The artifact, produced using a mold, was analyzed typologically and dated to the late first century AD through comparison with similar examples.
