The research project deals with the material culture of Nicaea (Iznik / Turkey) during the Hellenistic and Roman Imperial periods (c. 300 BC to 395 AD). The aim is to catalogue the respective sources and to analyze them with respect to the problem of collective identities in political and cultural spaces of different scale and structure.Nicaea was a polis of regional impact in Bithynia in Northwestern Asia Minor. It is a significant example for a better understanding of the local conditioning of the so called romanization, i. e. the process that lead to a cultural integration of the ancient Mediterranean world. Originally belonging to the regional dominion of the Bithynian kings, Nicaea became a central place within the Roman province of "Bythinia et Pontus", and finally, after the splitting of the Roman empire, was part of the hinterland of the new residences Nikomedia and Constantinople. At the same time, it is the place with the most comprehensive material sources of these periods in whole Bithynia.Within the Turkish market town of Iznik, various ancient monuments are either preserved in situ or as spolia in post-Roman buildings, or kept in the local museum. In the course of the research they will be documented with an interdisciplinary survey including Classical Archaeology, Building Archaeology, and Geophysics. On this basis the monuments will be used as sources to answer the question during which historical phases, in which functional contexts, and depending on which social groups the creation of identities referred to local pecularities, and when in contrast to this supra-local narratives such as the traditions of Bithynia, the values of Hellenic culture or the belonging to the Roman empire became more important. In this context, the ancient town is understood as the primary framework of communication, wherein the various microidentities are negotiated.The research project is a complementary part of a large-scale cooperation for the study of Nicaea that is carried out by the Archaeological institutes of Bursa's Uludag University and Freie Universität Berlin. Other parts include an investigation into Nicaea's economical basis with an intensive, ceramic-based survey of the suburban areas (project Prof. Dr. Silvia Polla, Berlin), and research on its traffic infrastructure with a documentation of the ancient port of Iznik and the regional network of streets (Prof. Dr. Mustafa Sahin, Bursa). Taken as a whole, the project will contribute to a more systematic knowledge of the scarcely known archaeology of Bithynia and at the same time work as a case study for a microhistory of ancient territories.

该研究项目涉及希腊化和罗马帝国时期（c.）尼西亚（伊兹尼克/土耳其）的物质文化。公元前300年至公元395年）。其目的是对不同规模和结构的政治和文化空间中的集体身份问题进行分类和分析。尼西亚是小亚细亚西北部比提尼亚的一个具有区域影响的城邦。这是更好地理解所谓罗马化（即罗马化）的当地条件的一个重要例子。e.这一过程导致了古地中海世界的文化融合。尼西亚最初属于比提尼亚国王的地区自治领，后来成为罗马“拜蒂尼亚和本都”省的中心地带，最终在罗马帝国分裂后，成为新住所尼科梅迪亚和君士坦丁堡腹地的一部分。同时，它也是整个比提尼亚地区这些时期最全面的材料来源。在土耳其的伊兹尼克集镇内，各种古代遗迹要么被保存在原地，要么作为后罗马建筑的spolia，要么保存在当地博物馆。在研究过程中，他们将记录与跨学科的调查，包括古典考古学，建筑考古学和地球物理学。在此基础上，纪念碑将被用作回答以下问题的来源：在哪些历史阶段，在哪些功能背景下，以及根据哪些社会群体，身份的创造涉及当地的特殊性，以及与这种超地方的叙述（如比提尼亚的传统）相比，希腊文化的价值观或罗马帝国的归属变得更加重要。在这一背景下，古城被理解为交流的主要框架，各种微观身份在其中进行协商。该研究项目是布尔萨乌卢达格大学考古研究所和柏林自由大学考古研究所为研究尼西亚进行的大规模合作的补充部分。其他部分包括对尼西亚的经济基础进行调查，对郊区进行密集的陶瓷调查（项目教授Silvia Polla博士，柏林），并对其交通基础设施进行研究，记录古老的伊兹尼克港和区域街道网络（教授Mustafa Sahin博士，布尔萨）。总的来说，该项目将有助于更系统地了解鲜为人知的比提尼亚考古学，同时作为古代领土微观历史的案例研究。
