The Aziziye Hoard

Year 2024, Volume: 32 Issue: XXXIII, 193 - 215, 08.04.2024

Abstract

The subject of this article is a hoard purchased by the Burdur Archaeology Museum in 2006. Although the exact situation and find spot of the coins are not known, it is stated as the village of Aziziye in the central district of the province of Burdur (Southwest Turkey). This hoard consists of a total of 111 bronze coins minted by the Pisidian city of Termessos Maior, either bearing the Zeus Solymos/Horse type (1 piece) or the Zeus Solymos/Horse protome type (110 pieces), with letters indicating the year of the Termessos Maior era in the Late Hellenistic Period. Although there are some suggestions regarding the dating of these bronze series of Termessos Maior - one of the important issues especially for Pisidian numismatics - the exact chronology remains to be clarified. The hoard consists of coins minted between year 1 (=A) and year 32 (=ΛB), with some years missing. In addition, the hoard includes new examples bearing the letters B (2nd year), I (10th year) and IΘ (19th year).

Abstract

Bu makalenin konusunu Burdur Arkeoloji Müzesi’ne 2006 yılında satın alma yoluyla kazandırılan bir define oluşturmaktadır. Sikkelerin buluntu durumu kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte buluntu yerinin Burdur ilinin merkez ilçe- sine bağlı Aziziye Köyü olarak belirtilmiştir. Bu define Termessos Maior’un Geç Hellenistik Dönem’de üzerinde yıl belirten harflerin bulunduğu, Zeus Solymos/At tipi (1 adet) ve Zeus Solymos/At protomu tipini taşıyan (110 adet) toplam 111 adet bronz sikkeden oluşmaktadır. Termessos Maior’un bu bronz serilerinin tarihlendirilmesi ile ilgili bazı öneriler olsa da tartışmaları henüz netleşmemiş, özellikle Pisidia numismatiği için önemli konulardan bir tanesidir. Define, aralarda eksik yıllar olmasına rağmen ilk yıl (A=1) ve son yıl (ΛB=32) arasında basılan örneklerden oluşmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra define B (2. yıl), I (10. yıl) ve IΘ (19. yıl) harflerini taşıyan yeni örnekleri içermektedir.
