On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the fourth-seventh centuries there were many common elements between the culture of Cappadocia and that of Antioch. My paper will present some of those with regard to the churches and the monasteries within the area, thus:
Firstly, the iconographical motifs that decorate the walls of the cave-churches in the former came from Antioch; most of those represent apocryphal religious stories that circulated in the area. Secondly, the schools –all attached to the above mentioned institutions– were modelled on those in Antioch, in particular on that of Libanius.
Visual elements to prove these assertions will be provided.
Key words: Antioch, Cappadocia, iconography, Libanius
