Burdur Müze Müdürlüğü tarafından 1995 yılında Dudu Özmen'den satın alınmış olan bu define, Burdur İli, Yeşilova İlçesi, Çeltek Köyü'nde (batı Pisidia, Kibyratis ve güney batı Phrygia sınırında, Phrygia’nın Eriza, Pisidia’nın Olbasa ve Palaipolis antik kentlerinin ortasına düşen bir yerde) bulunmuştur. Define 33 adet erken baskılı Side tetradrahmisinden oluşmaktadır. Side’nin M.Ö. 205 - 190 tarihli darpları olan bu definede 12 farklı magistrat (sikke basımından sorumlu yetkili memur) ismine rastladık. Sikkelerin arka yüzünde yeralan bu yetkili memur isim kısaltmaları bize bu sikkelerin 205 ile 190 tarihleri arasındaki 12 yıl süresinde basılmış olduklarını (genellikle sikke basımından sorumlu memurlar bir yıllığına göreve geliyorlardı) göstermektedir.

The Tetradrachma Hoard of Side in the Burdur Museum

Öz

The hoard, comprising 33 coins, was found in 1995 at the village of Çeltek in the Yeşilova district of Burdur province; it was subsequently acquired by purchase by the Burdur Museum. The find-spot lies on the ancient regions of Pisidia and Phrygia All of the coins are silver tetradrachms of the Side mint with an average weight of 16.71 g., which is unsually high. Six specimens bear countermarks comprising a boj in its case and the intial letter of the city that made the countermark. Such countermarks, known as 'cistophoric countermarks' are associated with cities that were controlled by the Kingdom of Pergamum. The present hoard includes clear examples for Pergamum, Apameia and Sardis, and two other countermarks probably represent Ephesus and Synnada, while one further type remians unassigned. Scholarly opinion is divided about when such contuermarks were made on the coins of Side; one view favorus a date after 166 BC, another attributes them to the period beginning in 188 BC. The hoard contains 12 different magistrates' names, one of which is previously unrecorded. According to the tables compiled by Prefossor Leschorn, these belong to the first series of Sidetan tetradrachms, starting in 205 BC. The conis may thus be dated to between 205 and 190 BC but remained in circulation for some time. Deposition connat be dated earlier than c. 178 BC and, if the later dating of the countermarks is followed, even as late as the mid-second century BC.
