The history and archaeology of Hellenistic Commagene is a rich field of study, not in the least because of the remarkable monuments and inscriptions of king Antiochos I (c. 70-36 BC). Over the last decades important new work has been done on Commagene proper, providing novel interpretations of the epigraphical and historical record or the archaeological data and individual sites, like Nemrud Dağ, Samosata or Arsameia. Simultaneously scholars have tried to better understand Hellenistic Commagene by situating the region and its history in a wider Mediterranean and Near Eastern context. This long-awaited e-book provides a critical evaluation of all these new data and ideas on the basis of a theoretically embedded, state-of-the-art overview for the history and archaeology of Hellenistic Commagene. From this volume a new picture emerges in which Hellenistic Commagene is no longer understood as peripheral and out-of-the-ordinary, but as an important node in a global Hellenistic network, from Ai-Khanoum to Pompeii and from Alexandria to Armawir.

"Volume 103 offers an innovative analysis of cultural transformation in Hellenistic and early-Roman Samosata, the capital of Commagene, where a large and lavishly decorated palatial structure was excavated in the 1980s. On the basis of a detailed investigation of object change in this West Asian locality, the book´s main aim is to engage with broader questions about the impact of increased Afro-Eurasian connectivity during the 4th c. BCE - 1st c. CE. Drawing on globalization theory and the concept of objectscapes, it develops a methodological alternative to the persistent yet reductive notion of Hellenism in the East . These broader themes are embedded in a thorough archaeological analysis of the late-Hellenistic palace, unlocking archaeological legacy data - particularly its architectural decoration and sculptural fragments - that greatly expand our knowledge of the broader Commagenian objectscape."
