Abstract
Due to its location at the crossroads of the trade and military routes, Iznik (Nikaia) has been one of the most important cities during the Roman and Byzantine Empires in Anatolia. Even though there have been numerous studies on Iznik (Nikaia), nevertheless the focus of scholarly interest has been mostly on the religious buildings and city walls. The aim of this study is to evaluate a rather neglected part of the city, namely the Late Antique-Early Christian necropolis.
