La collina di San Filippo a Hierapolis di Frigia: osservazioni sulle fasi di occupazione bizantina e selgiuchide (IX-XIV sec.)

The paper focuses on the late phases of the Sanctuary of Saint Philip in Hierapolis of Phrygia (Denizli, Turkey), discovered during the recent research of 2010-2012. After the 7th and 10th century earthquakes, the different buildings of the early-Byzantine sanctuary, constructed on the eastern hill of Hierapolis, underwent significant transformations. The three-aisled church, built around the Roman tomb of Apostle Philip, became a cemetery area after the seismic damages of the 10th century; during the Seljuk period (13th-14th century), the tomb and the nearby chapel were used for residential purposes, attested also by pottery fragments.
