Note su evergetismo e committenza nella Cilicia romana

Abstract

La documentazione inerente alla realizzazione delle opere pubbliche in Cilicia, analogamente a quanto accade in buona parte dell'Asia Minore, consiste essenzialmente in iscrizioni dedicatorie o onorarie. Purtroppo sono rari i casi in cui il monumento di appartenenza delle epigrafi commemoranti atti di evergetismo è noto, mentre ancor più raramente esse sono ancora in situ. Rispetto alle altre province dell'Asia Minore, dove le iniziative pubbliche e private per la costruzione di edifici pullulavano già in età augustea e giulio-claudia, in Cilicia esse presero avvio con un relativo ritardo. La prima concentrazione di interventi edilizi si colloca infatti in età flavia - quando vennero erette prevalentemente opere di pubblica utilità - il che sembra essere la naturale conseguenza dell'istituzione effettiva della provincia sotto Vespasiano. Si assiste ad un ulteriore momento di grande crescita edilizia, che coinvolse diverse tipologie architettoniche, a partire dall'età adrianea, ma soprattutto durante il regno di Marco Aurelio e Lucio Vero ed in età severiana. Nel periodo successivo, alla stregua di quanto accade in tutta l'Asia Minore, si registrano solo restauri e sporadiche costruzioni ex novo, per lo più di carattere difensivo e militare.

In Cilicia, similarly to the other regions of Asia Minor, information concerning the construction of public buildings consists basically in honorific inscriptions or dedications. Unfortunately the monuments to which the evergetic inscriptions were pertaining are only rarely identifiable, while the cases of in situ preservation are furthermore rare. Differently from the other provinces of Asia Minor, where public and private building activities were common since the Augustan and Julio-Claudian period, in Cilicia such activities started quite later. Actually, the first important construction projects may be dated under the Flavians, who cared mainly works of public value after the effective creation of the Roman province of Cilicia by Vespasian. Since the reign of Hadrian, but mostly under M. Aurelius and L. Verus and later with Septimius Severus, the region was granted a huge monumental growth, involving buildings of different types. The following period was characterised only by restoration activities and occasional ex novo constructions, mostly intended as defensive or military infrastructures, so as it happens in whole Asia Minor.
