Özet:

 Excavations which began in Laodikeia in 2003, one of the most important cities of Phrygia located 6 km northeast of Denizli province today, provided significant data on ancient glass art and craftsmanship. Alongside rare imported form groups from the Hellenistic Period, the density of finds from the Middle and Late Imperial Periods, and tangible data on Late Antique glass production, demonstrate the place and importance of the citys glass repertoire within the region. Glass oil lamps found in Laodikeia rank among the most encountered groups in both public and civil areas due to their being the most effective lighting products of daily life. Additionally, the citys significance as one of the important centers of Christianity in Late Antiquity, hosting the Laodikeia Church mentioned in the Bible as one of the Seven Churches, and the symbolic meanings attributed to light with the new religion, have influenced the density of finds of glass oil lamps within the city. Polycandilia, lamp hangers, and wick holders found in the excavations also provide important data on the use of lamps. The results indicate that glass oil lamps were effectively used for lighting from the early 4th century AD until the abandonment of the city in the 7th century AD.

 Günümüzde Denizli İlinin 6 km kuzeydoğusunda yer alan ve Phrygianın en önemli kentlerinden biri olan Laodikeiada 2003 yılında başlayan kazı çalışmaları ile antik dönem cam sanatı ve işçiliğine dair önemli veriler elde edilmiştir. Hellenistik Dönemin az rastlanan ithal form grupları yanında, Orta ve Geç İmparatorluk Dönemleri içerisindeki buluntu yoğunluğu ile Geç Antik Çağ cam üretimine dair elde edilen somut veriler, kentin cam repertuvarının bölge içerisindeki yerini ve önemini kanıtlar niteliktedir. Çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan Laodikeiada bulunan cam kandiller, günlük yaşamın en etkin aydınlatma ürünleri olması dolayısıyla kamusal ve sivil alanlarda yürütülen çalışmalarda sıkça karşılaşılan grupların başında gelmektedir. Bunun yanında kentin Geç Antik Çağda Hıristiyanlığın önemli merkezlerinden biri olması, İncilde adı geçen İlk Yedi Kiliseden biri olan Laodikeia Kilisesine ev sahipliği yapması ve yeni din ile birlikte ışığın yüklendiği sembolik anlamlar, cam kandillerin kent içerisindeki buluntu yoğunluğunu etkilemiştir. Çalışmalarda bulunan polykandilion, kandil askıları ve fitil tutucuları da kandillerin kullanımına dair önemli veriler arasında yer almaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, cam kandillerin MS 4. yüzyılın başından itibaren kentin terk edildiği MS 7. yüzyıla kadar aydınlatmada etkin olarak kullanıldığının göstergesi durumundadır.
