About us
Phoibos Verlag was founded in 1992 with the aim of publishing archaeological and ancient historical professional literature from the departments and areas of the Austrian university institutes, and to distribute them internationally. From this work, cooperative ventures gradually arose with non-university archaeological and ancient historical establishments, as well as institutions from other disciplines.
The publishing programme grew beyond the originally defined thematic emphases: now it also includes, amongst others, travel reports, guides and catalogues, treatises on architecture of diverse epochs, as well as publications dedicated to the theme of railways and public short-distance transportation.

Aykut Şengözer – Aslı Özbay (eds.),Barbarossa’s Çinili Hamam: A Masterpiece by SinanIstanbul 2023ISBN 978-625-7008-72-3344 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 29 x 23 cm; kartoniert/hardcover Published simultaneously with the opening of Zeyrek Çinili Hamam, Barbarossa’s Çinili Hamam: A Masterpiece by Sinan is an invaluable reference chronicling the five-century story of this magnificent cultural heritage site from its construction to the present day as well as the striking aspects that distinguish it from similar structures. Once standing gloriously in Zeyrek that was a prominent district during both Byzantine and Ottoman periods, the hammam afterwards was lost to oblivion behind modern buildings. Product of a two-year painstaking work, the book offers new information that came into light during the thirteen-year-long restoration on top of the already existing academic sources. The articles penned by scholars and experts offers an insight and illuminating information from the sociological aspect of the hammams to Çinili Hamam’s tiles and ornamentation program, from its restoration process to the splendid hammamiye tiles and the journey of its tiles that were sold in Europe in the 19th century. The book is equally absorbing for both academics and readers that take interest in architecture and history. Edited by Aykut Şengözer and Aslı Özbay and designed by Yeşim Demir Pröhl, the book features articles by Leyla Kayhan Elbirlik, Cengiz Kabaoğlu, Bora Keskiner, Tim Stanley, Yavuz Suyolcu, M. Baha Tanman and Filiz Yenişehirlioğlu and photographs by Murat Germen and Orhan Cem Çetin that bring out the beauty of every part of the hammam.

S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 24 x 16 cm; broschiert/softcoverDie Stadt Laodikeia Katakekaumene (Combusta), die seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts von vielen europäischen Wissenschaftlern besucht wurde, befindet sich im heutigen Bezirk Sarayönü der Provinz Konya in der Gemeinde Lâdik. Die ersten umfassenden Untersuchungen zu den Inschriften der antiken Stadt wurden 1910 und 1911 vom Archäologen W. M. RAMSAY und dem Archäologen und Epigraphiker W. M. CALDER durchgeführt. Im Jahr 1925 wurde ein Team bestehend aus W. M. CALDER, R. K. LAW und P. L. MCDOUGALL von der American Archaeological Research Association zu Forschungszwecken in die Region Ostphrygien entsandt. CALDER und sein Team führten epigraphische Oberflächenuntersuchungen von Lystra aus in Richtung Norden bis zur Grenze zwischen Phrygien und Lykaonien durch. Die 439 Inschriften, die während der Arbeiten gefunden wurden, wurden zusammen mit den veröffentlichten Inschriften in Band I der Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua mit kritischen Ausgaben veröffentlicht. Eine weitere systematische epigraphische Untersuchung in der Stadt und ihrer Umgebung wurde 1994 von Hasan BAHAR im Rahmen der Oberflächenuntersuchung in den Provinzen und Bezirken Konya und Karaman durchgeführt, an der auch der Epigraphiker Thomas DREW-BEAR beteiligt war; eine umfassende Veröffentlichung dieser Arbeiten ist jedoch nicht erfolgt. Neben diesen Arbeiten wurden unabhängig davon vom Archäologischen Museum Konya in der Region durchgeführte Ausgrabungen und oberirdisch gefundene Inschriften in Ladik und Umgebung gesammelt. Die Inschriften in dem vorliegenden Buch umfassen den ersten Band der Inschriften, die dank der Bemühungen des Archäologischen Museums Konya zusammengetragen wurden. Dieser Band enthält insgesamt 112 Inschriften, von denen die meisten Grabinschriften sind. Einige dieser Inschriften wurden bereits zuvor veröffentlicht, andere wurden jedoch um Addenda, Corrigenda oder neue Kommentare ergänzt. Neben Grabinschriften enthält dieses Korpus auch Widmungs-, Bau-, Opfer-, Maß- und Fragmentinschriften, darunter vor allem eine Inschrift auf einer Statue, die Kaiser Lucius Verus gewidmet ist. Ein Großteil der Inschriften stammt aus der Zeit des Römischen Reiches, aber auch Inschriften aus der Spätantike und sogar aus der mittelbyzantinischen Zeit sind in der Studie enthalten. Einige Inschriften weisen auf die Besitztümer der römischen Kaiser hin. Beispielsweise werden in den Inschriften Sklaven oder Freigelassene des Kaisers erwähnt. Gleichzeitig belegen die Inschriften auch die Existenz einer dichten christlichen Bevölkerung in dieser Region. So gehören beispielsweise einige der Grabinschriften aus der Spätantike christlichen Personen mit dem Rang eines Presbyteros oder Diakons.

Fotis Georgiadis – Anastasia Gadolou / Φώτης Γεωργιάδης – Αναστασία Γκαδόλου,In the Cave. Stories from Darkness Brought to Light / Στη σπηλιά. Ιστορίες από το σκοτάδι στο φωςAthen 2025ISBN 978-960-204-472-8336 S./pp., 475 Abb., Karten, Zeichnungen / illustrations, maps, drawings, 29 x 21,5 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverzweisprachig englisch – griechisch / bilingual english – greek The present comprehensive scientific catalogue accompanies and documents the important new temporary exhibition by the Ministry of Culture, organized by the Ephorate of Palaeoanthropology-Speleology and the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, entitled “In the cave: stories from darkness brought to light”. Original in its concept, this exhibition uses an interdisciplinary approach to highlight the timeless and multifaceted relationship between humans and caves – a relationship that endures, unbroken, from the Paleolithic period until modern times. The subject reflects the timeless and multilayered significance of caves in the life and culture of humankind. From the beginning of human evolution, caves were not only refuges from the elements and from predators, but also served as the cradle for early so-cialization, creativity and the exchange of knowledge, key for cultural development. Even when they ceased to be used for primary habitation, caves retained their primeval association with religion and transcendency, archetypal meanings and symbolism, making them timeless landmarks in myth and in collective historical memory, as well as sources of inspiration for contemplation and the arts. New among these layers of meaning – not replacing them – is the modern scientific interest in understanding the history of human interaction with the natural environment. Literally and metaphorically, the exhibition “In the cave” aims to bring this profound and timeless relationship into the light. Through the distinct thematic and chronological units and select displays, which include anthropological, paleobotanical and paleozoological material, as well as representative archaeological finds – from prehistoric tools, utilitarian, religious and precious objects, to inscriptions and works of art from all periods – the public has the chance to conceptually travel back in time and discover the numerous aspects of life and culture relating to caves. Caves are offered as witnesses to human history, and as gateways connecting us to our primordial roots and nature itself. Inspiring awe and curiosity and raising awareness among the public, this exhibition rein-forces our connection to the past and promotes the preservation of these unique monuments for generations to come. A total of 296 objects, many of which are presented to the public for the first time, are displayed in the various units of the exhibition, coming from 30 caves of northern Greece and from museums and sci-entifically and culturally significant collections. Each constitutes a piece of the puzzle, telling the story of caves and the interactions between humans and nature that took place within them. At the same time, the exhibition highlights the methodological and technical particularities, the fascinating but challenging nature of conducting archaeological and anthropological research inside caves.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./ num. colour and b/w-figs., 29 x 24 cm; kartoniert mit Schutzumschlag / hardcover with dust jacketInspired by tales of Trojan War heroes in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, nineteenth-century explorers sought the legendary king Nestor’s homeland at “sandy Pylos” on the coast of the southwestern Peloponnese in Greece. Archaeologists later searched inland on the Englianos Ridge, where they unearthed a palace and inscribed tablets that confirmed ancient Pylos’s location. The Palace of Nestor, as it is now known, was built shortly aſter 1300 BCE as the seat of a monarch whose realm spanned 800 square miles in modern-day Messenia. During the early phases of the Late Bronze Age in Greece (ca. 1630–1360 BCE), the region of Messenia was an epicenter of Mycenaean civilization. The elite clans that headed prosperous communities acquired luxuries imported from Minoan Crete and from as far away as Egypt and the Near East. They erected beehive-shaped tombs to commemorate ancestors and were buried with their weapons and wealth. The era of these warrior-princes foreshadowed the rise of a powerful kingdom centered at Pylos, which governed the region’s economic, political, and religious activities. Homeric archaeology gave way long ago to cutting-edge research in the field. Accompanied by over 300 illustrations and essays by an international team of archaeologists, this catalogue includes extraordinary recent discoveries, notably from the grave of a man known as the Griffin Warrior, who was found surrounded by incomparable works of art and craſt. As excavations throughout Messenia continue, the latest techniques for interpreting the remains of Late Bronze Age society reveal the history behind the myths.
