Aramoro posted:Unless you're thinking having it makes it yours in which case the British Museum is very interested in your thoughts. I thought the “true provenance” of such artifacts was generally based on where they were taken from by the British, not whether the artifact had been created by the people living there when it was taken. Or do you mean that the Italians should have this mosaic returned to them, since it doesn’t belong in Turkish hands?

It's a Roman mosaic because it was built by Romans, that doesn't seem controversial.

The Roman Empire =/= Italy, especially since the Roman Empire still controlled Turkey long after they lost control of Italy. And the Turks were not living in Turkey at the time this mosaic was made.

The Turks were not living in Turkey when Istanbul was built either, by my understanding, but if someone described Istanbul as a Greek city in Turkey I would think it a bit odd. Similarly we describe things as “Turkish beaches” when they very also likely predate the Ottoman Turks. It can certainly be Roman and Turkish both. Emphasizing the Romans over the Turks in a tweet marvelling at its quality of construction seemed a little Western-haughty to me.

People do in fact refer to the architecture in Istanbul as Roman unless the Turks built it or rebuilt it.

Regarde Aduck posted:The issue here is that it is from what is now Turkey but at the time it was constructed, it was not Yeah, that’s why I brought up “Istanbul, the Turkish city” or “Turkish beaches”, both of which feel more appropriate to me than “Istanbul, the Greek city” or “Byzantine beaches”. Similarly we talk here about “Canadian historical artifacts” that predate the formation of Canada. I see that I was generalizing inappropriately from that pattern, though. Thanks to those who showed me that!

Aramoro posted:I love that you think you've come up with a killer analogy comparing a man made object and a natural one and being unable to reconcile how they are different. Are cities not man made? (Many beaches are constructed or heavily modified too, though I don’t know how much that holds of Turkish ones, or when it would have happened relative to various entities controlling the land.) But yes, I erred in my generalization. Clearly a very severe misstep, given the reaction!

Memento posted:this is the dumbest loving sentence I've ever seen You’re right, that is pretty dumb. E: wait, but it’s dumb in the opposite way to what I was saying, I think? I’m saying that you can call the mosaic Turkish because it is in Turkey, just as you can call the Alps Italian because they’re in Italy. Or did I mix that up in an even dumber way?
