Cultural Shift or Short-lived Fashion? Interpreting the Role of Hellenistic Braziers from the Agora of Nea Paphos, Cyprus

Hellenistic braziers from the Agora of Nea Paphos, Cyprus, reveal insights into local production practices and cultural shifts during the 3rd century BCE to Early Roman period. Analysis of fabric and typology indicates that while some braziers were locally made, others were imported, suggesting a dynamic exchange beyond Cyprus. This study deepens understanding of Hellenisation processes in Nea Paphos by examining human practices tied to these artifacts, bridging gaps in material culture research.
