A Newly Discovered Asklepios Inscription from Seyitgazi/Nakoleia

Year 2018, Volume: 6 , 265 - 271, 29.06.2018

Abstract

This study concerns a votive inscription dedicated to Asklepios, which was recently found at Nakaleia/Seyitgazi. In the inscription the god is named alone without an epithet. The name of the person who made the dedication is a very rare name and his father’s name is unmentioned. This votive is the second inscription to document the temple of Asklepios in the ancient city of Nakoleia. In addition to these two inscriptions, numismatic evidence also indicates the existence of this cult in Nakoleia. There are also numerous theophoriformes associating the region with Asklepios. In addition to the many thermal centers in Eskişehir, the presence of the Alpanos thermal spring, which is very close to the Lower and Upper Ilıca villages and especially near Seyitgazi, was where Asklepios was worshiped in connection with the hot water sources such as Allianoi in the region, suggesting that an Asklepios center may have been present.

Seyitgazi/Nakoleia’dan Yeni Bir Asklepios Yazıtı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Nakoleia/Seyitgazi’de yeni bulunan Asklepios’a sunulmuş bir adak yazıtı incelenmektedir. Yazıtta tanrı tek başınadır ve herhangi bir sıfatı bulunmamaktadır. Adağı sunan kişinin adı oldukça az rastlanan bir isimdir ve baba adı da anılmamıştır. Adak Nakoleia antik kentindeki Asklepios tapınımını epigrafik an-lamda belgeleyen ikinci buluntudur. Bunların yanı sıra nümizmatik veriler de yine Nakoleia’da bu kültün varlığına işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca bölgede Asklepios ile bağlantılı çok sayıda theophor isme de rastlanmaktadır. Eskişehir’deki pek çok termal merkezin yanı sıra Seyitgazi civarında da Aşağı ve Yukarı Ilıca Köyü ile özellikle Seyitgazi’ye oldukça yakın olan Alpanos kaplıcasının varlığı Asklepios’un bölgede Allianoi’da olduğu gibi sıcak su kaynaklarıyla bağlantılı olarak tapınım gördüğünü ve olasılıkla bu tür bir şifa merkezinin mevcut olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
