Abstract

Antik Grek dünyasının en önemli evrelerinden birisi Klasik Dönem (MÖ 490-330)’dir. Bu dönemde Grek kültürü zirve noktasına ulaşmış ve dönem insanı ticaret rotasını uzak coğrafyalara kadar genişletmiştir. Aktif olarak ticarette kullanılan sikke ve amphoralar, Greklerin hem ticarette zenginleşmelerinde hem de dini, siyasi ve toplumsal düşüncelerinin aktarılmasında araç görevi görmüştür. Bu dönem içerisinde üretilen sikkeler ve amphora mühürleri kadar, bunlar üzerinde görülen figürler, semboller ve lejantlar da oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada Klasik Dönem içerisinde hem amphora üreten hem de sikke darp eden kentlerin/kent devletlerinin bilinçli veya bilinçsiz olarak bu nesneler üzerinde ortak olarak kullandıkları tasvirlerin ve yazımların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmamızın kapsamında bu dönem içinde hem mühürlü amphora üreten hem de sikke darp eden kent devletlerinin yerel amphora formlarına ait parçaları ve sikke buluntuları bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada amphora mühürleri ile sikkeler üzerindeki figür, sembol, lejant, monogram vb. öğelerin benzer kullanımlarına dair kanıtlara yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca bu buluntuların tarihlendiği dönem içinde dini, siyasi ve toplumsal kullanım amaçları yansıtılmıştır. Özellikle propagandaya yönelik kullanımlara dikkat çekilmiştir.

COMMON SYMBOLS AND INSCRIPTIONS USED ON AMPHORA STAMPS AND COINS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS

Abstract

One of the most important phases of the ancient Greek world is the Classical Period (490-330 BC). In this period, Greek culture reached its peak and the period people expanded their trade route to distant geographies. The coins and amphorae, which were actively used in trade, served as a tool for the ancient Greeks to both enrich their trade and convey their philosophical and political ideas. The figures, symbols and legends seen on these are as important as the coins and amphora stamps produced during this period. In this study, it is aimed to examine the descriptions and writings that the cities/city-states that produced both amphora and coin used in common on these objects, consciously or unconsciously, during the Classical Period. Within the scope of our study, there are fragments of local amphora forms and coin finds of the city states that produced both stamped amphora and coins during this period. In the study, there is evidence of similar use of figures, symbols, legends, monograms, etc. on amphora stamps and coins. In addition, the religious, political and social purposes of use were reflected in the period in which these finds were dated. Particular attention has been drawn to the use of propaganda.
