Numismatic Turcica 2023:
A Review of Numismatic Publications in Turkish

Koray Konuk - Burcu Dama

What follows is a survey of numismatic works in Turkish, a language that can be a barrier for
some. Our aim is to include monographs, articles, master's and doctoral theses published in
Turkish in 2023 and to provide an entry for each publication with a brief description of the
topic. Many of the articles listed here can be found online on the Dergipark website. Master's
and doctoral theses can be accessed online on the Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu (YÖK) website.
We propose to follow a chronological order.

Archaic to Hellenistic

**Köker** (A) provides an assessment of two articles on the alloys used for early coins by S. Yükçü and S. Gönen, entitled “Grade and Composition of the First Money in Anatolia” and “Anadolu’da İlk Paranın Ayar ve Alaşımı”, published in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The author rightly points out the factual and methodological errors contained in these articles.

A useful handbook on the daric and siglos issues of the Achaemenid kings (546-334 BC) is published by **Köker** (B). The aim of this booklet is to provide Turkish readers and researchers with basic information on these Persian imperial coins from various points of view, such as dating, types, circulation, weight standards and units, metallurgy of the darics and sigloi, as well as the countermarks and punchmarks often seen on them.

Last year, we were unable to include Göktürk's article on the Elmalı hoard (Decadrachm hoard), which was published in 2022. The author proposes a general account to the Turkish reader that does not go beyond the original account in the BAR volume published in 1987. The way in which the hoard was smuggled and how most of it was eventually returned to Turkey is described in detail and is largely based on the articles published in the American magazine Connoisseur and in the Cumhuriyet newspaper by Özgen Acar. Useful is the list of coins by mint that are kept in Antalya Museum of Archaeology today.

Günel publishes a rather rudimentary article on the historical significance of Phoenician coins, based on her doctoral thesis on the cultural and economic impact of Phoenician colonisation in the Mediterranean world (University of Uludağ in Bursa). The article may have some value for Turkish readers but apart from that, it is not worth the effort.

Tan submitted a master's thesis to the University of Uludağ in Bursa on coins depicting animals from the Archaeological Museum of Bursa. The catalogue includes 151 coins from the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. As can be expected these coins represent numerous mints. Care should be taken as the catalogue is plagued by modern forgeries; for example, number 7 is a crude forgery of a tetradrachm of Athens. Number 20 is almost certainly a modern forgery of a stater of Teos. Other suspicious coins are numbers 25 and 137. There are also miscatalogued coins such as two bronzes of Tissaphernes (numbers 27 and 71) and a bronze of Alexandreia Troas (number 65).
A master's thesis by **Bulut** from the Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir is dedicated to the iconography of Medusa coins from mints in Asia Minor. The author proposes a complete inventory of the coins (with 72 types) from the Late Archaic to the Roman period. She places each type in the context of the history of the issuing authority, its cults and the local mythology.

**Tatar** (A) focuses on a number of Asia Minor issues that arose during the Ptolemaic hegemony. The author returns to the question of a link between the reign of Ptolemaic kings and some bronze civic issues from Telmessos in Lycia, Kaunos (Ptolemy II to IV), Lebedos / Ptolemaios (Ptolemy III) and Larisa / Ptolemaios (Ptolemy III). It is difficult to estimate the extent to which these issues were minted under royal authority.

A drachm in the name of Alexander III is the subject of an article by **Tatar** (B). This posthumous drachm is kept in the Archaeological Museum of Alanya, where the author has identified 115 royal Macedonian coins, 69 of which are silver issues. The drachm in question comes from Paionia on the Balkan Peninsula and was probably issued by Audolean, the king of Paoionia. The author surmises that the circulation of this coin in Cilicia, which is quite distant from the area where it was minted, must have been related to the Syrian Wars, which led to the region changing hands between the Ptolemies and Seleucids in the 3rd century BC.

**Tütüncü – Köker** examine the late Hellenistic and Roman coins attributed to the Pisidian city of Ariassos. The late Hellenistic coins of the city were minted in bronze and 6 issues with 4 series and 3 variants. Roman provincial coins of the city were minted in 55 issues, whereby 20 different reverse types were used. A number of new readings and attributions are proposed.

In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta, **Tütüncü** publishes a corpus catalogue of the coins minted by the city of Ariassos in Pisidia during the Hellenistic and Roman imperial periods (from Augustus to Gallienus). The various issues are categorised in the historical context of the city and its region, together with its cults and economic activities.

In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the University of Istanbul, **Sarılar Özdemir** analyses the political, socio-cultural, economic and religious structure of the city of Thyateira in Lydia on the basis of numismatic and epigraphic sources, ancient literary texts and modern literature. In her coin corpus, the author identifies five bronze coin types and one silver cistophoric type for the Hellenistic period.

The Hellenistic coins found during the 2005-2019 excavations in Parion are the subject of **Öztürk**'s master's thesis, which he submitted to the Ondokuz Mayıs University in Samsun. A total of 71 coins were identified, all of which are made of bronze with the exception of 3 silver coins. 65 belong to the mint of Parion and 6 coins each to Kyzikos, Adramytteion, Pergamon, Byzantion, Amphipolis and Phalasarna. The coin of Kyzikos is noteworthy because it was overstruck over a coin of Parion. As usual, all the coins are illustrated, but what is unexpected is that they were all meticulously drawn.

A master's thesis by **Dama** from Akdeniz University in Antalya publishes the excavation coins from the harbour street of Patara found between 1989 and 2020. A total of 425 coins are catalogued, ranging from the Hellenistic to the Seljuk period, with most of the coins dating from the late Roman period. Whenever possible, coins are discussed in the context of their archaeological find spots.
**Özbil** (B) publishes a preliminary report on the Toybelen (İlkadım district in Samsun) hoard which consists of 401 bronze coins acquired by the directorate of the Çorum Museum in the early 2010s. They were all minted under Mithridates VI Eupator. Most of the coins (318) come from the mint of Amisos, but coins from other mints in Pontos, Paphlagonia (Amastris, Sinope), Bithynia (Dia), and Bosphoros (Pantikapeion) are also represented.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the University of Iğdır, **Yücesoy** publishes 60 Greek coins kept in the Kars Archaeological Museum. Many of these coins come from Pontic mints with Amisos being the most represented mint. Here too, there are easily recognisable forgeries, have been included, such as catalogue numbers 43 to 46, which are crude forgeries of Athenian tetradrachms. There is also number 20, a very poorly forged tetradrachm of Lysimachos.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the University of Mersin, **Arslan** analyses the coin finds from the excavations (2017, 2021 and 2022) of the theatre of Diocaesarea in Cilicia. Of the total of 2402 coins, the author was only able to identify 163 coins, including 2 Hellenistic (Tarsos and Soloi), 9 Roman provincial, 131 Roman imperial, and 21 Byzantine coins.

In his doctoral thesis, which he submitted to the University of Batman, **Menteşe** examines the Parthian, Sassanian and Roman presence in the Tigris Valley in the light of coins and archaeological data from the third century BC until the Rome's withdrawal from Mesopotamia. 183 coins were included in the study. The majority of these consist of coins found during excavations and surveys in the region.

## Roman

The collection of 241 Roman coins owned by Aydın Özkan is published in a small book by **Kumandaş** (A). The collection is registered in the Ankara Ethnographic Museum. All the coins date from the imperial period (from Augustus to Leo I), with the exception of two Republican denarii. Three coins are made of gold, the rest are silver and bronze issues.

**Kumandaş** (C) focuses on the hairstyles and jewellery design of Roman empresses on coins. The author deals with the period between Empress Sabina (134-138 AD) and Empress Aelia Eudoxia (400-404 AD). In addition, an attempt is made to evaluate the reasons for the empresses' preference for splendid and plain hairstyles from the perspective of socio-economic history.

**Menteşe** examines the Parthian, Sassanian and Roman presence in the Tigris Valley in the light of coins and archaeological data from the third century BC until the Rome's withdrawal from Mesopotamia. 183 coins were included in the study. The majority of these consist of coins found during excavations and surveys in the region.

In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the University of Istanbul, **Sarılar Özdemir** analyses the political, socio-cultural, economic and religious structure of the city of Thyateira in Lydia on the basis of numismatic and epigraphic sources, ancient literary texts and modern literature. Apart from five bronze coin types and one silver cistophoric type for the Hellenistic period, all coin types date from the Roman period.
In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the Atatürk University in Erzurum, **Kızılyalçın Oryarçın** publishes the Roman provincial coins found during the excavations carried out in the city of Parion between 2005 and 2020. A total of 355 Roman provincial coins belonging to 17 different cities were found during the excavations. While 273 (77 %) of these coins come from Parion, the city of Alexandreia Troas is the second most represented mint with 39 coins (11%).

Uğuz publishes the late Roman coin finds from Dalisandos (Sarıoğluan) and its surroundings kept in the Konya Museum of Archaeology. Most of the 308 coins in the group date to the Constantinian period and cover the period from Constantine I to Constantine Gallus. The earliest dated coin was minted during the reign of Septimius Severus, and the latest dated coin belongs to Constantius Gallus.

Yıldırım proposes a general account on the depiction of the baetylos from Emesa on coins of Asia Minor. The focus is on the city of Emesa where there was a baetylos belonging to the sun god El-Gabal. One of the priests of this god was Bassianus, who later became known as emperor Elagabalus and who tried to establish the cult of the sun god in Rome. The author discusses coins from Anazarbos, Hierapolis-Kastabala, Iuliopolis, Prusias ad Hypium, Ephesos and Hierapolis which show the scene of the transport of the Emesa stone to Rome. In Kolybrassos, a coin minted during the reign of Elagabalus shows a baetylos in a richly decorated temple.

Kumandaş (B) publishes the Roman provincial coins of Tyana in Cappadocia, which are kept in the Archaeological Museum of Niğde. The author catalogues 35 bronze coins from the reigns of the emperors from Trajan to Caracalla. She discusses the types, particularly with regard to the pantheon. There is no new type, all have already been published and the author gives all relevant references for each coin.

Nikolayidis analyses the Roman coins of Nicaea in Bithynia which are evaluated with regard to Romanisation and Roman propaganda. The author provides a useful table with a distribution of types by emperor. An illustrated catalogue of 26 coins, mainly from RPC online, provides the opportunity to discuss the different types.

Özbil (B) publishes the Roman provincial coins found during the excavations carried out in the city of Nysa ad Maeandrum between 1992 and 2023. Of the total of 693 coins, 111 are Roman provincial coins struck by cities, with the majority consisting of coins from Nysa itself. Most of the foreign coins come from the cities located in the Maeander Valley and its surroundings. A catalogue of all 111 coins is provided with most of them illustrated on 8 plates.

The depictions of the goddess Nemesis on Roman provincial coins from Paphlagonia are the subject of a study by **Girgin**, who gives a general introduction to the characteristics of Nemesis and the significance of her cult in the Roman world. In Paphlagonia, her representations on coins begin under Domitian and end with Gallienus. The study examines six cities in Paphlagonia that used the image of Nemesis as their coin type. A total of 11 coins are illustrated and discussed.

**Tütüncü – Köker** examine the late Hellenistic and Roman coins attributed to the Pisidian city of Ariassos. Roman provincial coins of the city were minted in 55 issues, whereby 20 different reverse types were used. A number of new readings and attributions are proposed.
In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta, **Tütüncü** publishes a corpus catalogue of the coins minted by the city of Ariassos in Pisidia during the Hellenistic and Roman imperial periods (from Augustus to Gallienus). The various issues are categorised in the historical context of the city and its region, together with its cults and economic activities.

The Homonoia coins of Kyzikos are discussed by **Çoruh Kurt** who compiles a catalogue of 20 coins. These are discussed by the author, in particular with regard to the cities that minted Homonoia coins together with Kyzikos. They include in chronological order: Ephesos, Smyrna, Perinthos and Hierapolis in Phrygia.

A master's thesis by **Dama** from Akdeniz University in Antalya publishes the excavation coins from the harbour street of Patara found between 1989 and 2020. A total of 425 coins are catalogued, ranging from the Hellenistic to the Seljuk period, with most of the coins dating from the late Roman period. Whenever possible, coins are discussed in the context of their archaeological find spots.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the University of Mersin, **Arslan** analyses the coin finds from the excavations (2017, 2021 and 2022) of the theatre of Diocaesarea in Cilicia. Of the total of 2402 coins, the author was only able to identify 163 coins, including 2 Hellenistic (Tarsos and Soloi), 9 Roman provincial, 131 Roman imperial, and 21 Byzantine coins.

In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir, **Çamlıca** publishes the Roman coins found in the theatre of Nikaia (İznik) in Bithynia. Excavations carried out in the theatre between 2016 and 2018 yielded 1524 coins of which 434 coins were fully preserved and examined. Of these, 169 coins that were in better condition and could be identified as Roman, were included in the work. Only two coins date from the second century AD, all others are from the third and fourth centuries.

A master's thesis by **Bulut** from Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir is dedicated to the iconography of Medusa coins from mints in Asia Minor. The author proposes a complete inventory of the coins (with 72 types) from the Late Archaic to the Roman period. She places each type in the context of the history of the issuing authority, its cults and the local mythology.

A master's thesis by **Tunca** from Akdeniz University in Antalya deals with the Roman administration of Aspendos in the light of epigraphic and numismatic evidence. The author emphasises that Rome left a significant mark on the city. The names of 56 Roman individuals have been identified and the presence of an imperial cult can be observed in Aspendos from the reign of Emperor Tiberius onwards. Evidence that the city was given the title Neokoros can be found on a coin from the time of Gallienus.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the University of Kocaeli, **Edin** deals with the Roman provincial coins of Mytilene. Within a historical framework, coin types, emperors, gods and goddesses, officials and individuals depicted on the coins, units and countermarks on the coins are analysed in tables and graphs by period in order to shed light on the city's minting policy and economy. The author identifies 153 issues.
The history and coins of Silandos in Lydia are the subject of a master's thesis that **Yürüyen** submitted to the University of Istanbul. The author collects epigraphic evidence and proposes a full corpus of the known coins of Silandos. The city begins with the minting of Roman provincial coins under the reign of Domitian (81-96) to Severus Alexander (222-235).

**Murat** publishes the late Roman and early Byzantine coins found in Zeytinliada during the excavations in the eastern area. Zeytinliada is located about 250 metres off the coast of the Erdek district of Balıkesir. During the excavations carried out in Zeytinliada between 2006 and 2016, a total of 211 coins were found, 108 in the chapel, 59 in the eastern area and 44 in the church of the Virgin Mary. In the eastern area, 43 of the coins were identified. The earliest coin is dated to the reign of Aurelian period, while the other coins date from the end of the 5th century AD to the first quarter of the 7th cent. AD.

In the same site of Zeytinliada mentioned in the previous entry, this time **Murat** focuses on the excavation coins found in the church of the Virgin Mary. The church from the early Byzantine period has a basilica floor plan with 3 naves and yielded 44 coins, 36 of which could be identified. The coins described are from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The earliest dated coins are from the reign of the Roman Emperor Probus, the most recent from 1861 (Ottoman coin). The majority of the coins are Byzantine coins, 32 coins are from the church period. 16 Byzantine coins date from the early Byzantine period and 2 from the middle Byzantine period.

## Byzantine and related mediaeval coins

The Byzantine coins in the Muğla Museum of Archaeology are the subject of a master's thesis submitted by **Mandacı** to the Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University. The catalogue comprises 104 coins from the reign of Anastasius I to Michael Dukas VII. Of particular note is a large group of 30 coins from the so-called anonymous folles from the 11th century.

**Akiniz – Güngör** analyse the economic reforms of Emperor Heraclius. This article is based on a master's thesis that Akiniz submitted to Akdeniz University in Antalya in 2019.

**Murat** (A) publishes the late Roman and early Byzantine coins found in Zeytinliada during the excavations in the eastern area. Zeytinliada is located about 250 metres off the coast of the Erdek district of Balıkesir. During the excavations carried out in Zeytinliada between 2006 and 2016, a total of 211 coins were found, 108 in the chapel, 59 in the eastern area and 44 in the church of the Virgin Mary. In the eastern area, 43 of the coins were identified and most of them date from the 5th century AD to the first quarter of the 7th cent. AD.

In the same site of Zeytinliada mentioned in the previous entry, this time **Murat** (B) focuses on the excavation coins found in the church of the Virgin Mary. The church from the early Byzantine period has a basilica floor plan with 3 naves and yielded 44 coins, 36 of which could be identified. The coins described are from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The majority of the coins are Byzantine coins, 32 coins are from the church period. 16 Byzantine coins date from the early Byzantine period and 2 from the middle Byzantine period.

In Zeytinliada again, **Murat** (C) publishes the excavation coins found in the early Byzantine chapel excavated in 2010. Of the 108 coins found in the chapel, 57 were identified and the
remaining 51 coins were dated on the basis of their metrological characteristics. The identified coins were minted in the names of 7 different emperors in 5 different mints. They date from the years 498-518 to 613-614 AD.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the University of Mersin, **Arslan** analyses the coin finds from the excavations (2017, 2021 and 2022) of the theatre of Diocaesarea in Cilicia. Of the total of 2402 coins, the author was able to identify 21 Byzantine coins.

**Ünal – Acar** discuss a rare coin from the Tunay Demran collection: a billon aspron trachy from the time of the emperor of Thessaloniki (1237-1242) / despot (1242-1244) loannes Komnenos Doukas. This is the first documented find of this type of coin in Asia Minor. The billon aspron trachy was in circulation in Thessalonica and the surrounding area.

**Gölgesiz Karaca** offers a general overview of the coins of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1187). These are divided into three main groups: Saracen bezant, Jerusalem Royal denier/obol and other types (early anonymous coins, pilgrim coins, baronial coins). The minting periods, weights and characteristics of each of these coins differ from one another.

**Kalkan – Çalık** publish the ‘remains’ of a new coin ‘treasury’ from the Armenian and Georgian kingdoms. It is unclear whether it is a hoard or a group of coins. The word used in Turkish is hazine (treasury, this word used in the English abstract), while the usual word for hoard is define. The contents suggest a group of 50 coins that were found independently(?) in Syria. The coins date from the 13th and 14th centuries.

**Bayram – Aytaç** publish Crusader and Byzantine coins found during the excavations of the inner castle of Harput. A total of 38 bronze coins were analysed. There are 32 Byzantine coins, two of which date to the 6th century, one to the 7th century, and 29 to the 11th century. Three of the other six coins in the catalogue belong to the Crusader County of Edessa (Urfa), and the other three belong to the Crusader Principality of Antakya. The period of Byzantine rule over Harput and the Crusaders' relations with Harput are assessed on the basis of the coins found during the excavations.

## Islamic, Turkic, European and Modern Turkey

Common features on the coins of the Kushan and Göktürk Khaganates are analysed by **Babayar**. The author emphasises the similarities between the two coinages and argues that the equestrian coinage of the Kushans served as a model to the Göktürks.

**Kındığılı – Özkan** explores the iconography of the figurative Göktürk Khaganate coins from the Tashkent region and their reflections on Turkish culture and art. The authors discuss the reflections of these coins in various fields such as petroglyphs, weaving art, and stone decoration through selected examples and evaluate how they are mirrored in Turkish culture and art. Nine coin types are discussed.

**Günay – Gökçe** provide a general overview of the copper coins of Muzaffar ad-Din Gökböri, a leading Begtegīnid emir and general of Saladin. An illustrated catalogue of the known types is proposed.
**Günay** submitted a doctoral thesis to the Van Yüzüncü Yıl University on the coins of the Ilkhanids. The catalogue comprises 889 coins, mainly from various private collections belonging to Christian Rasmussen, Yiğit Altay, Kamil Eron and Şevkullah Bal, and from some public museums in Istanbul (Yapı Kredi Müzesi), Bursa, Eskişehir, Isparta, Çankırı, Nevşehir, Mardin, Adana, Niğde, Erzincan, Diyarbakir, Sakarya, Erzurum, Malatya, Ahlat and Giresun.

**Çetin – Atalay** publish a group of 10 coins from the Erzurum Museum of Archaeology which were minted by the Ilkhanid ruler Abu Said Bahadir Khan (1316-1335). The coins are illustrated and discussed in their historical context.

In his master's thesis, which he submitted to the Akdeniz University in Antalya, **Olcay** publishes 162 Anatolian Seljuq coins from the holdings of the Alanya Museum of Archaeology. The coins date from the reign of Mesud I (1116-1156) to Kaykhusraw II (1237-1246).

In her doctoral thesis submitted to the Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir, **Teoman** analyses the coinage of the western Anatolian Turkomen Beyliks (Aydin, Saruhan and Menteshe) and their circulation. The author collected 851 coins from private collections, regional museums and archaeological excavations.

**Çalık** explores the struggle for political supremacy in Anatolia following the Battle of Ankara in the light of numismatic evidence. Coins issued by Ottoman sultans and those of various beyliks (Germinayids, Aydinids, etc) are examined.

The coins of Murad I (1362-1389), which were found during the excavations of Eskişehir Karacahisar Castle in 2019-2022, are published by **Yılmazyaşar**. Of the 722 excavation coins, 281 (7 akches and 274 mangirs) belong to Murad I and form the most concentrated group of coins found in the castle. Five of the eight known coin types for Murad I are represented.

**Yılmazyaşar – Teoman** focus on the mangirs of Murad I dated to Ramadan 790, which were found during the same excavations mentioned in the previous entry (Eskişehir Karacahisar Castle). This is the only Ottoman issue that includes the year of minting with the month (Ramadan). These coins are also the only example among the Ottoman mangirs on which the name of the sultan's father is not written. Of the 274 mangirs of Murad I, 40 are Ramadan 790 dated ones. The authors discuss whether there is a connection between the coins minted between 3 September and 2 October 1388 and the historical events that took place on these dates.

In her doctoral thesis, which she submitted to the Onsekiz Mart University in Çanakkale, **Helvacıköylü** studies the 1702 coins from the Ottoman period from the Edirne Museum of Archaeology. The coins belong to 29 sultans from Murat I to Mehmed V. The thesis examines the city of Erdine which occupied an important position in the Ottoman administration.

**Kemaloğlu** submitted a doctoral thesis to Ondokuz Mayıs University in Samsun on the Ottoman coins in the collections of the Amasya Museum of Archaeology. Of the 3460 Ottoman coins registered in the museum, a selection of 181 coins are included in the thesis. They date from the period from Sultan Bayezid I to Mehmed V.
**Aytekin** examines the rare coins that were minted in Ardanuç (district of Artvin) during the Ottoman period. The catalogue comprises a total of 36 coins, three of which were gold and the rest were silver coins. Five of them date from the time of Suleiman the Magnificent, 28 from the time of Selim II and three from the time of Mehmed III. Most of the coins come from foreign public and private collections.

In her master's thesis, which she, to the University in Ordu, **Avseren** publishes a selection of Ottoman coins from the Adıyaman Museum of Archaeology. The author examined 801 Ottoman coins from the museum's holdings and selected 66 coins most of which are made of gold and silver. The selection includes coins from the reign of Murad II (1421-1444 / 1446-1451) to the last Sultan Mehmed V (1918-1922).

**Murat** focuses on the excavation coins found in the church of the Virgin Mary in the small island of Zeytinliada which is located about 250 metres off the coast of the Erdek district of Balıkesir. The church from the early Byzantine period has a basilica floor plan with 3 naves and yielded 44 coins, 36 of which could be identified. The coins described are from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The earliest dated coins are from the reign of the Roman Emperor Probus, the most recent from 1861 (Ottoman coin).
