Early Byzantine period jewelry techniques and their descriptions in artworks

In the Early Byzantine Period, Constantinople demonstrated a progression that would last until the 7th century AD, developing as the economic, political, and religious center of the Eastern Roman Empire. Especially since the 6th century AD, the jewelry workshops in the palace and the artisans, who are probably kept there permanently and whose productions are watched, find new techniques and become prominent with their designs dated to that period. In this thesis, the technical and design traces of the development of the jewelry styles that will become classics in the future, the paths of the ancient jewelry that have survived to the present day, in the documented works of mosaic, ivory, metal, weaving, stone, and terracotta were followed and their reflections were compared. To carry his empire to a divine dimension, I. Justinian left an imprent during his reign by imposing limitations on the privileges of jewelry production and use, with the criteria he set in paragraph 11.12, based on the new Roman Law arrangement under the name of Codex Justinianus. As a result of the analog made in this research, the character unity of the works scattered in different museums of the world, primarily unearthed in the Asyut region of Egypt, is presented to the attention of researchers.
