Description
The collection comprises digital reproductions of published Late Roman and Byzantine artefacts from three museums of the Department of Antiquities, namely the Cyprus Museum (Nicosia), the Cyprus Medieval Museum (Limassol) and the Archaeological Museum of the Paphos District. It features a variety of objects, ranging from ceramics and tomb slabs to silver vessels and gold jewellery. The other part of the collection consists of selected photographs from related monuments - including the painted churches in the Troodos region, listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. It notably incorporates photographs from occupied Cyprus, yet taken before the 1974 war. The important contribution of this digital collection lies not only in bringing together the photographic documentation of relevant archaeological material from all over Cyprus but also in making it accessible for the first time as a whole to the general public.
