Abstract

Afganistan’nın kuzeydoğusunda yer alan Ai Khanoum kentinin erken tarihi
hakkındaki bilgiler oldukça sınırlıdır. Büyük İskender’in Pers İmparatorluğu hâkimiyetine
son vermesiyle doğunun kapıları Greklere açıldı. Bu seferler sonrasında doğunun
zenginliklerine sahip olmak isteyen Grekler, Orta Asya’ya göç etmeye başladı.
Grek yayılım alanı içerisinde Ai Khanoum, Hellenistik Dönem’de önemli bir
yerleşim merkezi haline geldi. İskender’in ani ölümden sonra Orta Asya’ya hâkim
olan Seleukos Krallığı döneminde ise Ai Khanoum’da Grek kültüründe ve stilinde
yoğun imar faaliyetleri gerçekleştirildi. Seleukos Krallığı’nın, Orta Asya’da
hâkimiyetinin sarsılmasıyla Greco-Bactrian Krallığı kuruldu. Greco-Bactrian
Krallığı döneminde ise Ai Khanoum kraliyet merkezi haline geldi. Yakın zamana
kadar Greklerin doğudaki etkileri birkaç edebi ve nümizmatik kaynakla
açıklanıyordu; fakat son otuz yılda Orta Asya’da yapılan arkeolojik
araştırmalar sonucunda önemli bilgilere ulaşıldı. Bu çalışmada Ai Khanoum
kentinin; tarihi, kent planı ve mimari yapıları incelenmiştir.

Abstract

Central Asia was one of the lands that Alexander the Great conquered and
then, the intensive Greek migration began to the area. Greek culture spread
rapidly in Central Asia after this migration. Until recently, the effects of
Greeks in East was limited to a few literary and numismatic sources. However,
over the last three decades important information has been reached with
archaeological researches carried out in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan,
Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Ai Khanoum, founded and shaped in the Hellenistic
period is both one of the most famous Greek colonies in Central Asia and is a
significant center of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom. In this study, Ai Khanoum
city’s history, urban planning and construction are analyzed.
