Greek and Roman Provincial Coins found at Aphrodisias: Preliminary Results from the 1998-2019 Seasons

Abstract

A total of 178 Greek and Roman Provincial coins were found during the excavations at Aphrodisias between 1998 and 2019. Although low in number to comment upon, when joined with a further 189 “excavated” examples from the 1961-1973 seasons at the site published by Prof. D. J. MacDonald, these provide ample evidence to understand the coins represented at Aphrodisias and their place in circulation. Coins from the other mints represented at Aphrodisias provide us with evidence for travel made on the major routes in the region.

Abstract

Aphrodisias kazılarında 1998-2019 sezonlarında 178 adet Grek ve Roma Eyalet sikkesi ele geçmiştir. Bu sayı yorumlanabilmeleri için az olsa da 1961-1973 yılları arasında “kazılar sırasında” ele geçen ve Prof. D. J. MacDonald tarafından daha önce yayınlanmış olan 189 sikke daha toplama eklendiğinde, bunlar Aphrodisias kazılarında ele geçmekte olan örneklerin ve para sirkülasyonunda bunların temsil edilmesinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaktadır. Aphrodisias’ta ele geçen diğer darphanelere ait örnekler, bölgedeki önemli yol hatlarında yapılan yolculuklara dair bize ipuçları sunmaktadır.
