Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study examines a unique double-nosed terracotta oil lamp (bilychnis) unearthed from the Alabanda Agora. The lamp’s most striking feature is its handle, decorated with a relief depicting the struggle between Heracles and the Lernaean Hydra – the second of his Twelve Labors. This scene stands in contrast to the undecorated discus on the lamp’s body. Heracles is depicted holding the “Laurel Branch,” a symbol associated with Apollon, the chief deity of Alabanda. This iconographic detail, along with epigraphic evidence and the ongoing presence of the Temple of Apollon Isotimos, underscores the para-mount importance of Apollon in Alabanda. The Alabanda Bilychnis serves as a microcosm, reflecting the veneration for Apollon ingrained even in everyday objects. Furthermore, the lamp’s form, mythological theme, and iconography were analyzed comparatively against similar examples from various museum collections worldwide. Based on this stylistic analysis, the lamp is dated to the second half of the 1 century AD.
