Assessment of Some Late Hellenistic Coins Attributed to Ariassos

Öz

Ariassos, within the borders of Pisidia, is located in close vicinity of Akkoç village of Döşemealtı district of Antalya province today. The city was founded immediately after the Treaty of Apameia (188 BC), which was signed after the Magnesia War (190 BC). While the bronze coins of Ariassos dated to the Late Hellenistic period (Ist century BC), during the Roman Imperial period she minted coins, albeit with interruptions, between the reign of Augustus (28 BC – AD 14) and Gallienus (253-260 AD). The mentioned Late Hellenistic coins of the city were minted in bronze and 6 emissions with 4 series and 3 variations. Roman provincial coins of the city were minted in 55 emissions, while 20 different reverse types were used. In this study, while the Late Hellenistic coins of the city are discussed in general terms, mainly some erroneous attributions encountered in the publications made so far are emphasized and corrected.

Ariassos Kentine Atfedilen Bazı Geç Hellenistik Dönem Sikkeleri Üzerine Değerlendirme

Öz

Pisidia Bölgesi sınırları içerisinde yer alan Ariassos, günümüzde Antalya İli Döşemealtı İlçesi Akkoç Köyü yakınlarına konumlanmaktadır. Kent, Magnesia Muharebesi’nin (MÖ 190) ardından imzalanan Apameia Anlaşması’nın (MÖ 188) hemen sonrasında kurulmuştur. Ariassos’un ilk sikkeleri bronz olup Geç Hellenistik Dönem’e (MÖ I. yüzyıl) tarihlenmektedir. Kent Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi sikkelerini üretmeye Augustus döneminde (MÖ 27-MS 14) başlamış ve son sikkelerini de Gallienus döneminde (MS 253-268) darp etmiştir. Kentin söz konusu Geç Hellenistik Dönem sikkeleri bronz ve 6 emisyon olarak 4 seri ve bunlardan sadece birinin 3 varyasyonu olacak şekilde darp edilmişlerdir. Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi şehir sikkeleriyse 55 emisyonda darp edilirlerken 20 farklı arka yüz tipi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada kentin Geç Hellenistik Dönem sikkeleri genel hatlarıyla ele alınırken, esas olarak şimdiye kadar yapılan yayınlarda karşılaşılan bazı yanlış atribüsyonlar üzerinde durulmakta ve düzeltilmektedir.
