Synopsis "Stadtbelagerung in Der Spatantike - Das Berliner Holzrelief (in German)"

English description: Since the first publication about it in 1901, this unique wooden relief has been attributed to the Coptic maker because it was discovered in Egypt. The precise meaning of its richly detailed and impressive imagery, however, had remained shrouded in obscurity. The iconographic and stylistic analysis contained in this volume draws on comparative studies of material artifacts to reveal that the wooden relief belongs to Western Roman art of the fifth century. The relief portrays the suppression of the usurpation of John and his Hunnic cavalry troops outside the city gates of Ravenna by the Roman legionaries of Galla Placidia in the summer of 425 A.D. This historical revision places the relief in a new research context. German description: Seit der ersten Publikation im Jahr 1901 wurde das einzigartige Holzrelief aufgrund seines Fundortes in Agypten immer dem koptischen Kunstkreis zugeordnet. Es blieben jedoch erhebliche Unklarheiten zu seiner eindrucksvollen und detailreichen Darstellung. Mit der hier vorliegenden realienkundlichen, ikonographischen und stilistischen Analyse wird nun nachgewiesen, dass das Holzrelief der westromischen Kunst des 5. Jahrhunderts zuzurechnen ist. Illustriert wird die Niederschlagung der Usurpation des Johannes und seiner hunnischen Reiter vor den Toren der Stadt Ravenna durch die romischen Legionare der Galla Placidia im Sommer 425 n.Chr. Diese historische Einordnung stellt das Relief in einen neuen Forschungsfokus.
