Abstract

The ancient city of Attouda is localised at Hisarköy of Sarayköy district in Denizli province and no systematic surveys or excavations have been carried out. As the site was registered as first degree archaeological site the contemporary village moved out and the existing architectural heritage started to deteriorate. The present study endeavours to build a corpus of coins minted by Attouda from publications, online catalogues and museum collections as well as some private collections. Based on more than 300 coins compiled a typology was prepared and these coins were evaluated to gain information on ancient Attouda was retrieved. Thus, it is noted that Attouda started minting coins in the Late Hellenistic period and continued minting until mid-third century AD. The Carminii Family is dominantly attested with many titles. In addition to the magistrate names, some light was cast onto the administrative bodies and cults of the city.

Abstract

Denizli ili Sarayköy ilçesine bağlı Hisarköy’e lokalize edilen antik Attouda kentinde herhangi bir sistematik kazı veya yüzey araştırması gerçekleştirilmemiştir. Birinci derece arkeolojik sit alanı olan yerleşme yeni bir alana taşınmış ve mevcut mimari miras da yok olmaya yüz tutmuştur. Bu çalışmada yayınlanmış ve online kataloglar ve çevre müze ve kimi özel koleksiyonlardaki Attouda sikkeleri saptanarak derlenmiş ve bir korpus oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Ulaşılan 300’den fazla sikkeye dayanarak bir tipoloji oluşturulmuş ve hem bu sikkeler değerlendirilmiş hem de Attouda hakkında bilgi edinilmeye çalışılmıştır. Böylece Attouda’nın Hellenistik Dönemin sonlarında sikke basmaya başladığı ve aralıklarla MS 3. yüzyılın ortalarına değin basmaya devam ettiği anlaşılmıştır. Carminii Ailesinin baskınlığı da net şekilde görülmektedir. Magistrat isimlerinin yanı sıra kentin idari kurumları ve kültleri hakkında da bilgi edinilmektedir.
