New Inscriptions from the Tokat Museum I

Abstract

New Inscriptions from the Tokat Museum I

This paper presents 10 new funerary inscriptions from the Tokat Museum. Some of the stelai are from Gaziura (no. 1), Zela (nos. 2 and 10) and Comana Pontica (no. 4). The places of dis­covery of the other stelai remain unknown. The oldest stele (no. 1) is from the late Classical or early Hellenistic Period. It was set up for a Rhodian who may have lived in Gaziura as a trader. The latest monument (no. 10) is a stele of a chartularius from the the end of the 5th or from the 6th century AD.

The stele no. 3, which indicates the year 182 (Pontus Poleminiacus era), may have been set up in 245/46 AD. Of the names mentioned in the inscriptions, 11 are Greek and 7 Latin; the origin of “Sapos” in the stele no. 5 remains uncertain. The inscriptions suggest a high degree of Hellenization and Romanization in Pontus Polemoniacus.
