Bu çalışmada Aioleion adında, Troas bölgesinde bulunduğu düşünülen bir kente atfedilen ΑΙΟΛΕ lejandlı sikkelerin asıl darp yerinin Assos olduğu ve sikkelerin Assos merkezli Koinon Aioleis adına MÖ 310–280 arasına basıldığını üzerinde durulmuştur. İddia 1981–2015 yılları arasında Assos Kazılarında ele geçen numismatik verilerle de desteklenmiştir. Atıflarlarının yapıldığı Aioleion adlı kentin Troas’da var olmadığı ise bölgeden bahseden birinci ve ikinci derece tarihsel kaynaklar, topografik çalışmalar, arkeolojik araştırma ve kazılar ile epigrafik belgeler ile ateste edilmiştir.

A Phantom City in the Troad: Aioleion and its Coinage

Öz

In this study, it is argued that the actual minting place of coins with ΑΙΟΛΕ legend, which are at-tributed to a city assumed to be in Troas region, is Assos and that they were struck in the name of the Koinon of Aiolis between 310-280 B.C., of which the center was Assos. This suggestion is supported by numismatic data obtained during the excavations of Assos carried out between 1981 and 2015. The fact that there is no city in Troas named Aioleion, to which place these coins are attributed, is attested by first and second degree historical sources on the region such as topogra-phical studies, archaeological researches and excavations as well as epigraphical documents.
