Abstract

Bu makale, MS 4. ve 7. yüzyıllar arasındaki dönem boyunca Bizans Anadolusu'nda bulunan kara yolu rotalarına genel bir bakış sunmaktadır ve değişim bağlamında Bizans rotalarının gelişimini açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bizans Anadolusu’nda gelişen rotaların ortaya çıkışını anlamak, daha önce inşa edilmiş Roma yollarını anlamayı gerektirir. Bizans döneminde rotaların gelişimi ve kullanımı, büyük ölçüde hem idari hem de politik olarak Roma yollarının yapımı ve bir gelişimi olarak şekillendi. Arkeolojik buluntular ve kanıtlar, Romalıların ana yolları 7. yüzyılın başlarına kadar inşa ve restore ettiklerini ve Bizans döneminde de söz konusu yol faaliyetlerini sürdürdüklerini, koruduklarını ve bakımlarını yaptıklarını göstermektedir. Yol güzergahları veya diğer bir deyişle rotaların kullanımı, başkent olarak henüz ilan edilmiş Konstantinopolis'in kuruluşundan ve 4. yüzyılda Roma İmparatorluğu'nda daha fazla ‘merkezi yönetim’in yükselen bir idari sistem olarak zuhur etmesi ve geliştirilmesinden önemli ölçüde etkilenmiştir. Anadolu'nun tüm rotalarını ayrıntılı olarak açıklamak ve tartışmak yerine, bu çalışma, Bizans Anadolusu’nda ana rotaların gelişimine genel bir bakış sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

An Overview of Land Routes in Byzantine Anatolia (ca. 4th-7th c. CE)

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of land routes in Byzantine Anatolia during the period between the fourth and seventh centuries CE and aims to explain the development of the routes in Byzantine Anatolia in a changing context. Understanding the emergence of routes, which expanded in Byzantine Anatolia, comes from the earlier-built Roman roads. The development and the use of routes during the period in question were largely shaped by the construction and use of Roman roads, both administratively and politically. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Romans restored the main roads until the early seventh century, and maintained them during the Byzantine period. The use of routes was significantly impacted by the foundation of Constantinople as the new capital and the development of more ‘centralized rule’ in the Roman Empire in the fourth century. Rather than explaining and discussing all the routes of Anatolia in detail, this study aims to outline the ways in which major routes developed in Byzantine Anatolia.
