Abstract

This paper focuses on the role of the most common mineralogical techniques applied to the identification of the different statuary qualities in white, grey, and black Göktepe marble. For this purpose, the case of a Roman sculpture marble collection from the rural villa of Valdetorres de Jarama (central Iberia), dating to the 4th century AD, is presented. The mythological statuary, combining white, grey, and black marbles, is one of the most outstanding marble collections in the Aphrodisian style found in Hispania. The analytical results (achieved through Petrography, Cathodoluminescence, C and O isotopes, and Sr and Mn concentration) support the identification of two varieties of “black” Göktepe, traditionally referred to as bigio morato and bigio antico, as well as the best statuary quality of white Göktepe. In addition, the analytical identification of other Asiatic marbles in the Valdetorres collection, a white coarse-grain originally from the quarries of Aphrodisias city, and one small piece identified as Carian red from Iasos, corroborates the already suggested strong connection existing between artists and the stone material they chose for their works. Finally, the identification carried out on the marble of the bases that served as seats for the sculptures is noteworthy, as it is a white marble of lower quality whose analytical characteristics are consistent with the Microasiatic marble of Denizli. The use of these exotic and exceptional raw materials confirms the taste for luxury and decorative richness in Late Antique Hispanic rural villae and contributes to a better understanding of the distribution of Aphrodisian production and trade networks with the Western Roman provinces.
在西班牙巴尔德托雷斯德哈拉马大理石收藏中发现的白色和黑色戈克泰佩的雕像特征
本文的重点是最常用的矿物学技术在鉴定白色、灰色和黑色 Göktepe 大理石中不同雕像质量方面的作用。为此,本文介绍了公元 4 世纪从 Valdetorres de Jarama(伊比利亚中部)农村别墅收集的罗马雕塑大理石。这些神话雕像由白色、灰色和黑色大理石组合而成,是伊斯帕尼亚最杰出的阿佛洛狄斯风格大理石收藏之一。分析结果(通过岩相学、阴极荧光、C 和 O 同位素以及锶和锰的浓度)证实了两种 "黑色 "戈克泰佩大理石(传统上称为 bigio morato 和 bigio antico)的身份,以及白色戈克泰佩大理石的最佳雕像质量。此外,对 Valdetorres 收藏品中的其他亚洲大理石(一种原产于阿芙罗迪西亚斯市采石场的白色粗粒大理石和一小块被鉴定为产自伊阿索斯的卡里亚红大理石)进行的分析鉴定,证实了艺术家与他们为作品选择的石材之间业已存在的密切联系。最后,对用作雕塑座椅的底座的大理石进行的鉴定值得注意,因为这是一种质量较差的白色大理石,其分析特征与德尼兹利的小亚细亚大理石一致。这些异国情调的特殊原材料的使用证实了古希腊晚期西班牙乡村别墅对奢华和丰富装饰的追求,并有助于更好地了解阿芙罗狄忒的生产分布以及与西罗马各省的贸易网络。
