The first excavations were carried out in 2007 in the structure called Church C, which is one of the 3 churches of Hadrianoupolis, which is the subject of the study. Initially, only the apsis part of the structure was exposed, and it was called Yapı Structure with Apsis nedeniyle because of its inability to determine its function. In 2017 and 2018, the east and northeast sides of the building were excavated and it was discovered that the building was dated to the Early Byzantine Period. Based on the remains and finds obtained as a result of the excavations in Church C, the church was originally built in the 5th-6th centuries AD. thought to have been built between the centuries. Based on archaeological data, archaeological data suggesting that the building was damaged and rebuilt due to an earthquake or invasion in the region or nearby geography has been obtained. An important group of these archaeological data is the coins recovered during the excavations. The earliest coin finds dating to the earliest Constantius II Period (332-335 AD) during the Heraclius Period (610-641 AD) suggest that the building probably suffered a major destruction at the end of the first hâlf of the 7th century AD. Within the scope of the study, information on the coins finds of the Church C structure of Hadrianoupolis will be presented and new suggestions and opinions will be put forward by making use of other archaeological remains and finds about the destruction phases of the structure. Keywords: Paphlagonia, Hadrianoupolis, Early Byzantine, Church, Coin.

Troas Region which includes the ancient city of Parion was frequently exposed to arthquakes and tsunami created by them, as a natural result of being located in a seismic belt. Several devastating earthquakes took place in Troas during the Roman Period. Although earthquakes and tsunamis affected Parion in the Early Roman Period, the negative effects were eliminated with intense construction activities in the region, as Parion was a Roman colony. Additionally, as a result of the earthquakes mentioned by Marcellinus, Malalas, Cedrenus, and Theophanes, that took place towards the end of the 4th century and 5th century AD, several cities in the Troas Region were abandoned or transformed into episcopal centers. In the coin finds obtained from the Thermae, the Odeion, the Theater, the Slope Bath, the Northern Walls, and the Agora, where archaeological excavations have been carried out, there is an apparent intensity of earthquakes and tsunamis. In addition to the obvious increase of coin finds, the fact that the oldest coins obtained from the Theater, the Odeion, the Slope Bath, and the Northern Wall excavations belong to the period of earthquakes and tsunamis and most of the structures in the city lost their function towards the end of 5th century, testifies to the devastation that Parion was exposed to due to the earthquakes. Within the scope of this study, evaluations will be made about the destruction that earthquakes and tsunamis brought to the Troas Region at the end of the 4th century and 5th century AD with regard to the coin finds and other archaeological data obtained in the Parion excavations which have been ongoing since 2005.

In 2020, excavation, restoration-conservation and anthropological studies were carried out in a total of 7 sectors including Odeion, South-Tavşandere Necropolis, Drilling 10 (Great Bath), Roman Bath, Drilling 11-1 (Acropolis), Acropolis Eastern (Inner) Wall and Agora and Warehouse Building. Field restoration-conservation practices were carried out in the Theatre, Roman Bath, Drilling 10 (Great Bath) and Odeion sectors, while laboratory restoration and conservation works were performed on metal, glass, bone, terracotta and stone/marble artefacts. Within the scope of anthropological studies, palaeoanthropological analyses of 110 individuals were examined. During the 2020 campaign, a grave type seen in the Southern-Tavşandere Necropolis and the opus spicatum type brickwork uncovered in Drilling 10 (Great Bath) were among the new ones for Parion. Excavations were performed on the eastern forecourt of the Odeion, in the latrina and impluvium sections of the Roman Bath, and on the Acropolis East (Inner) Wall to discover the organic connection with the Theatre. Field restoration and conservation operations were applied in the Theatre, Roman Bath, Drilling 10 (Great Bath) and Odeion. In the paper, the data obtained from the processes performed during 2020 and the finds unearthed are introduced, and interpretations are made that will enable the understanding of Parion and the sectors. The restoration and conservation processes in the field and laboratory are explained, and the data obtained from anthropological studies are presented.

The lead seal found during the archaeological excavations in the baptistery is understood to belong to the 11th century AD thanks to the coins found in the same layer with the seal. The dotted borders on the obverse and reverse are carved very close to each other, and the borders became straight lines in some places. On the obverse of the seal, Archangel Michael is depicted within a dotted border, wearing an outfit decorated with precious stones, with diademed curly hair, holding a scepter in his right hand and a globus in his left hand. The reverse reads an address in four lines within a dotted border, the first line beginning with a cross. These kinds of seals are categorized by sigillographers as private seals used for personal business since they do not bear the owner's title or position on the reverse, except for his name. An evaluation of the Byzantine lead seal together with the coins found in the same context revealed that it has a significant place in terms of indicating that Hadrianopolis continued to be inhabited until the 11th-12th century AD, albeit on a small scale, which was previously considered to have been abandoned due to the interruption of data from archaeological excavations starting from the middle of the 7th century AD.

Makalenin konusunu, Paphlagonia Hadrianopolis’i 2022 yılı İç Kale Vaftizhanesi kazılarında bulunan bir Bizans kurşun mührü
oluşturmaktadır. Vaftizhanedeki arkeolojik kazı çalışmalarında bulunan kurşun mührün hem ön ve arka yüzünde yer alan
noktalı bordürlerin birbirine oldukça yakın işlenmesinden dolayı bazı yerlerde bordürlerin düz çizgi hâline gelmiş olması
hem de mühürle aynı tabakada ele geçen sikkeler sayesinde MS 11. yüzyıla ait olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Mührün ön yüzünde
noktalı bordür içerisinde Baş melek Mikail’in kıymetli taşlardan süslü kıyafetiyle diademli kıvırcık saçlı, sağ elinde asa ve sol
elinde globus tutan tasviri bulunmaktadır. Mührün arka yüzünde ise, noktalı bordür içerisinde dört satır hâlinde ilk satırının
haçla başladığı bir hitap yazısı yer almaktadır. Bu mühürler, arka yüzünde sahibinin adı dışında unvan ve görevlerinin yazılı
olmamasından dolayı sigilografi çalışanları tarafından şahsi işler için kullanılan özel mühürler olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır.
Çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan Bizans kurşun mührü aynı kontekste ele geçen sikkelerle birlikte değerlendirildiğinde,
arkeolojik kazılardan elde edilen verilerin MS 7. yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren bir kesintiye uğramasından dolayı terk edildiği
düşünülen Hadrianopolis’te küçük de olsa MS 11.-12. yüzyıla kadar yerleşimin devam ettiğine işaret etmesi açısından da
oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir.

A study on the 5958 Roman coins at the Çankırı Museum in 2019 revealed that 64 of them were Roman Provincial coins. An examination of the distribution of Roman Provincial coins in museums generally shows that the majority of them consist of coins belonging to the city where the museum is located or to surrounding cities. It is also observed that almost half of the Roman Provincial coins belong to Pisidian Antioch, a Roman military colony far from the region. Within the scope of the article, it is primarily aimed to introduce the thirty Pisidian Antiochia coins to the scientific world, which are in the inventory of the Çankırı Museum, which were brought to the museum at various times through donations, purchases and seizure. In this context, the coins were catalogued and the distribution of the coins according to the emperors, the obverse and reverse types were examined in detail with tables and graphics. For this purpose, the coins were catalogued and the distribution of the coins according to the emperors, obverse and reverse types were examined in detail with the help of tables and charts. Although the Pisidian Antioch coins at the Çankırı Museum are dated between the periods of Caracalla and Claudius II, they mostly appear to have been created as battered coins in the second and third quarters of the 3rd century AD. In the distribution of the coins according to the reverse type, it is noteworthy that the majority of them are military types with a vexillum between the two standards. In addition, the article mentioned the circulation of Pisidian Antioch coins within the region. In this context, the excavation finds in Çankırı and the surrounding cities and the published Roman Provincial coins in the museum inventory were also examined.

The study deals with Parion’s Christian era, the function of the seal and its iconographic features, respectively. Additionally, evaluations were made about the structure in which the seal appeared in the light of numismatic and other archaeological data in the seal’s context. Thanks to its geopolitical location suitable for maritime trade and its two natural harbors, Parion was inhabited continuously as an important port and commercial city from the 8th century BC to the 14th century AD. Founded as a Greek colony in the 8th century BC, Parion was granted colony status by Iulius Caesar at the end of the Roman Republic Period. During the Byzantine Era, it was a significant episcopacy center within the region where the Christian faith was strongly represented. Parion, which was the episcopacy center at the beginning of the 4th century AD, was elevated to the status of an archbishopric center in AD 640 and maintained this status until the end of the 13th century AD. The data on bishops assigned to the city of Parion, which has been episcopacy center for nearly a thousand years, is rather insufficient. Despite the fact that three modern studies on the bishops serving in Parion have identified the names of a total of 21 bishops, none of the three studies mention Archbishop Ioannes. The information that Archbishop Ioannes served in Parion in 1072 AD was understood after scanning the synod lists that were included in the episcopal lists. The data on Parion episcopal seals are also quite insufficient and only four examples have been published; seal belonging to Euthymios, who was bishop in the 9th century AD, seal belonging to Constantine, the bishop of the 11th century AD, a seal that probably served in the 11th-12th century AD but without the bishop’s name on it, and seal belonging to the 12th century AD bishop Nicetas, in auction catalogues. Despite the fact that the ancient city of Parion has been the episcopacy center for a long time and many bishops have been assigned, every scientific study will contribute to the study of Anatolian sigillography because studies on the city’s bishop seals are insufficient. The seal of Ioannes, the Archbishop of Parion, which is studied within the scope of this study and is not well known, holds a significant place in both
Byzantine Period of Parion and sigillography studies.

Makalede, incelenen sikkelerin her ne kadar buluntu yerleri belirli olmamasına rağmen, müzeye geliş yöntemlerine ve sikkelerin dönemsel dağılımına bakıldığında, Erzurum ve çevresinin sikke dolaşımının temsil edildiği gözlemlenmektedir. 2 adedi altın ve 121 adedi ise, bronz olan sikkelerin en erkeni I. Anastasius (MS 491-518), en geç tarihlisi ise, I. Manuel Komnenos Dönemi'ne (MS 1143-1180) tarihlenmektedir. Bizans döneminde geniş bir tarih aralığı boyunca 13 farklı imparator ve çok sayıda Anonim Follis örneklerinin bulunduğu sikkeler; Antiokheia, Konstantinopolis, Nikomedia ve Thessalonika olmak üzere 4 farklı darphanede basılmışlardır. Çalışma kapsamında, Erzurum Arkeoloji Müzesi envanterinde bulunan 123 adet sikkenin katalogları ve genel değerlendirmesi yapılmış ve çevre kentlerdeki yayımlanmış sikke buluntularıyla karşılaştırılarak sikkelerin dolaşımı detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Sikkelerin dolaşımı değerlendirilirken, daha önce Erzurum Arkeoloji Müzesi'nde bulunan Bizans sikkelerinin yayımlandığı çalışmalardaki veriler de kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, Erzurum ve çevresinin Bizans dönemi tarihi ile sikke buluntularının dağılımı konusunda ilişkiler kurulup birtakım verilere ulaşılmıştır.

Definenin hem bulunduğu yerin su alan nemli bir bölge olması hem de metal kalitesi düşük, küçük birimli sikkelerden oluşması nedeniyle sadece on ikisinin imparatoru belirlenebilmiştir. Define içerisindeki otuz sikke ise arka yüz betiminden yararlanılarak belirli bir tarih aralığına verilebilmektedir. İmparatoru belirlenebilen sikkelerin en erkeni II. Valentinianus (MS 375-392) en geçi de Marcianus Dönemi'ne (MS 450-457) tarihlenmektedir. İmparatoru okunamayan sikkelerin büyük bir bölümü ise MS 423-457 yılları arasında darp edilmiş "çelenk içerisinde haç" tipindedir. Her ne kadar definede, darp tarihi belirlenmeyen yirmi dokuz sikke bulunsa da MS 5. yüzyılın ikinci yarısına ait definelerde çok sayıda örneği görülen I. Leo Dönemi'ne (MS 457-474) tarihlenen, arka yüzünde; "imparatorun monogramı, çömelmiş veya ayakta aslan" bulunan sikke örneklerini içermemesi, definenin gömü tarihinin Marcianus Dönemi (MS 450-457) olarak belirlenmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Birden çok yapım evresi olan Nekropol Kilisesi'nin ek mekanlarından biri içerisinde bulunan definenin, mekânın zemin bölümünün altında ele geçmiş olması da, yapının inşa evreleri hakkında bilgi sunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak Anemurium Nekropol Kilisesi Geç Roma Definesi'nin; hem bulunduğu yapının inşa evreleri hakkında ipuçları vermesi, hem de Non-Imperial olarak adlandırılan imparatorluk dışı Afrika sikkelerinin örneklerini içermesi açısından önemli bir yere sahip olduğu söylenebilir.

Evaluations on Late Roman Coins Recovered from the Hyposcaenium Section of the Theater in Parion ... more Evaluations on Late Roman Coins Recovered from the Hyposcaenium Section of the Theater in Parion The ancient city of Parion is located in the village of Kemer in the Biga district of Çanakkale, north of the Troas region. Parion has been one of the cities that the sovereign powers in the region wanted to posess for ages due to its geographical and strategic location and its important commercial port. Founded as a Greek colony in the 8th century BC, Parion became one of the most important colonial cities of the Roman Empire in Anatolia by placing Roman retired soldiers in the city at the end of the Roman Republic Period and giving the status of a Roman colony. This status of the city provided economic development and prosperity and the ancient city of Parion became one of the most Roman cities in the Northern Troas Region. After having the status of a Roman colony, Parion became a city that had a say in both regional trade and political and military fields. As a natural consequence, the excavations carried out in Parion since 2005 yielded important archaeological findings from the Roman Period. One of these archaeological findings is the collectively found 266 coin group on the ground level of the hyposcaenium to the south of the entrance of the stage building during the 2013 excavations in the theater. The emperor of 227 of the coins with higher condition could be read compared to the Late Roman coin finds found during the excavations in the city. Coins of 23 different emperors and 11 mints were dated between the Gallienus and Arcadius Periods, while the majority of the coins were beaten between 310-324
AD. Archaeological remains and finds indicate that the Roman Theater of Parion lost its function at the end of the 4th century AD. It is important that this idea is supported as the latest date of the coins is between 383-392 AD. The aim of this study was to reach new data about the structure of the hyposcaenium at the Roman Theater of Parion in which the coins where found, as well as to get new information on numismatics.

Abstract
In the ancient city of Anemurium, located in the western part of the Rough Cilicia Region, there are important Roman and early Byzantine structures that have been well preserved. One of the best preserved buildings in the city is the Necropolis Church, in which the hoard that is the subject of this study was found. Th e building, which extends from east to west, is located in the northern part of the city and was named the Necropolis Church owing to the fact that it is located in the Necropolis area. During the excavations conducted in the church in 2019, 41 bronze coins dating to the early Byzantine period were found collectively. All of the coins were found to be the coins of Heraclius and had been minted between AD 610-618. Th e coins, most of which had been minted in the Constantinople mint, consisted of only the type fi rst and type second coins out of the six diff erent types. Another feature of the coins was that all except eight had been overstruck on the coins of previous emperors, with the majority being on Focas coins. It can be said that the coins found in the Heraclius hoard are numismatic data that is a good example of the refl ection of both the power struggle between Focas and Heraclius and the effects of Sassanian attacks on the Rough Cilicia Region on the coins. Th e coins of the Heraclius hoard are extremely signifi cant in regards to the fact that they were among the few coin hoards obtained from inside the church and that when evaluated with the rest of the remains and fi ndings found within the structure they off er important information on the destruction phase of the church.

Bu durum kentin savunma ihtiyacını da beraberinde getirmiş ve yaklaşık 7,5 km. uzunluğunda oldukça görkemli sur duvarları ile kent korunmaya çalışılmıştır. Parion savunma yapıları mevcut kalıntıları ile daha önce incelenmiş olmakla birlikte 2017 yılına kadar savunma yapılarında arkeolojik kazı çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmemiştir. 2017 yılında Parion Akropolünü ve çevresindeki alanın doğusunu çevreleyen, bir iç sur olarak da adlandırabileceğimiz savunma yapısının doğu yüzünü ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla bilimsel arkeolojik kazılara başlanmıştır. Çalışma konumuzu oluşturan sikkeler ise, 2019 yılı çalışmaları sırasında 0.80 m. derinliğindeki yangın tabakası içerisinde farklı kotlarda ele geçmişlerdir. Sur duvarındaki bir tahribat dönemine ait olan yangın tabakasında bulunan 39 sikkenin, üçü Roma eyalet sikkesi iken, otuz altısı Erken Bizans Dönemi'ne tarihlenmektedir. Erken Bizans sikkelerinin en geç tarihlisi MS 615 yılına ait olmakla birlikte, sikkelerin çoğunluğu Focas ve Heraclius Dönemi'nde darp edilmişlerdir. Söz konusu yangın tabakası içerisinde sikkeler dışında, oldukça yoğun ateşe maruz kaldıklarından dolayı üzerleri tamamıyla yangın izleri ile kaplı olarak ele geçmiş arkeolojik kalıntı ve buluntular da, surlarda dolayısıyla kentte gerçekleşen bir tahribata işaret etmektedirler. Anadolu'daki bazı antik kentlerde, MS 615-616 yıllarında Sasani akınları nedeniyle tahribat izleri ve sikke buluntularında ani bir kesilme görülmektedir. Parion Akropolü Doğu (İç) Sur yangın tabakası içerisinde ele geçen sikkeler de, Sasaniler'in MS 615-616 yılında Khalkedon'u kuşatmadan önce Parion'a da uğradıkları ve kentte tahribat yaptıkları izlenimi uyandırması açısından önemli bir yere sahiptir.
ABSTRACT
The ancient city of Parion located in the north of Troad in the Ancient History, had been a city which sovereign powers in the region intended to own for centuries due its geographical and strategic position. This brought about the need for defending the city which therefore was tried to be protected with quite magnificent city walls of approximately 7,5 km long. Parion defence structures had been examined earlier with their existing ruins, however, no archaeological excavations were conducted until 2017 in defence structures. Scientific archaeological excavations were started in 2017 in order to discover the eastern face of the defense structure which can also be called an inner wall and environs the east of Parion Acropolis and its surrounding. The coins that are the subject matter of this study were retrieved at different elevations within the fire layer at 0.80 m depth during the excavations in 2019. Three of the 39 coins found in the fire layer of a period of destruction in the city wall are Roman provincial coins while thirty six of them date back to the Early Byzantine Period. Among the Early Byzantine coins, the one bearing the latest date belonged to the year AD 615 and most of the coins were minted during the reign of Focas and Heraclius. Apart from the coins, archaeological remains and finds retrieved in the said fire layer as fully covered by traces of fire because of being exposed to highly intense flame signal a destruction in the city walls, thus, in the city. A sudden discontinuation of traces of destruction and coin finds draws attention in some ancient cities in Anatolia between the years AD 615-616 due to Sasanian attacks. Coins retrieved in Parion Acropolis Eastern (Inner) Wall fire layer are also important as they create an impression that Sasanians had stopped by Parion in AD 615-616 before they besieged Khalkedon and caused destruction in the city.
Keywords: Parion, Sasanian, Early Byzantine, Wall, Coin.

The Dikilitas Pullu Church was built in the Late Antique on the banks of a bay between the ancient cities of Nagidos and Anemurium in the Rough Cilicia region. The subject of our study is the composed of 17 coins dated to Late Antique found as a result of archaeological excavations carried out in the structure. Within the scope of the study, not only general information about the excavations and coins of the Dikilitas Pullu Church was given, but also the Late Antique coin data of the Anemurium, Celenderis, Olba and Elaiussa Sebaste city, which are also located in the Rough Cilicia, were compared with the numismatic data. In addition, the information we have learned from the written sources about the history of the region has been tried to be confirmed by coin finds. On the Late Antique coins uncovered in the Dikilitas Pullu Church, both the effects of the Sassanid attacks in the Rough Cilicia
Region were searched and the results of the construction and renovation phases were interpreted with the architectural remains of the building. The fact that the publications on the Late Antique coins recovered from the archaeological excavations in the Rough Cilicia region is relatively low compared to other ancient regions in Anatolia also increases the importance of the study.

During survey works carried out on the slope a vaulted strocture remain of 1 m diameter was observed. The vaulted structure remain was thought to be related to the wall remain or to belong to either an important structure or structure group therefore the desicion for excavating this area was given. The Slope Bath having nine sections revealed during excavations so far, besides sheding light to the social and economical aspects of Parion, does present significant information regarding the architecture of the city. These revealed sections are significant due to their different features. By having no similar examples in Anatolia the laconicum section does give an idea about the bath’s architect. The need of a very hot section in a geography where the climate is warm will be investigated in this work. Other sections revealed during excavations besides the laconicum will be introduced in light of similar examples. Along with the structure’s architecture discovered artifacts will also be introduced with regards to their relation to the structure. Additionally the localization of the bath has been introduced and the effect of the close proximity of the location to the harbour on the desicion making of the bath’s location has been mentioned. Finally by investigating the finds and architectural remains discovered during Excavations preliminary conclusions on the Slope Bath’s construction date and usage phases have been reached.

and strategical position. An important colonial city during the Roman Period, Parion turned to be an favored episcopal center. Due to its strategical importance of city, excavations conducted in the site since 2005 revealed many important finds. An important portion of these finds were, without doubt, the coins spreading to a time span of 4th century BC until 7th century AD, a ceasing in numbers is evident with the coins of the mid 7th and the mid 9th centuries AD, the so-called Byzantine Dark Ages, where as an increase in numbers is traceable after the mid 9th century AD. The scope of this study is formed by the Parion coins from the period starting by the radical reform of Anastasius on bronze coin units done in 498 AD and ending by the Period of Heraclius. In this aspect, brief information will be given of the Parion coins from this period, together with a comparison of coin numbers with the other periods for revealing the social and economic character of the city during the Early Byzantine Period.

of Biga district of modern-day Çanakkale province. Th e city, which was
established as a Greek colony at the end of the 8th century BC, had colonial city status in the Roman Period. Parion did not lose its importance in the Byzantine Period when it became one of the important episcopal centers of the region. As a result of the excavations carried out in the ancient city of Parion between 2006 - 2018, 53 Anonymous Folles were recovered. Within the scope of excavation, these coins were compared with the published samples of Anonymous Folles found in the Anatolian collections, museums and archaeological excavations by giving the variances according to the types and findings areas of Anonymous Folles; the variance of the type of these coins was seen to be in line with the findings of the Anatolian archaeological excavations. All of the Anonymous Folles found in thearchaeological excavations in Parion were discovered in the additions of the structures of the Roman Era, which show that the usage of these structures continued even if they underwent functional changes by additions and restorations in the 10th and 11th centuries AD. Th ese provide some of the most important data supporting both the fact that the settlement continued there and that the city did not lose its position as an important port in the era when the findings of the Anonymous Folles were minted in Parion. This excavation has an important place as it included samples of double minted Anonymous Folles seen rarely in Anatolia; also there are almost no published samples of the Anonymous Folles in the cities found around Parion despite the fact that there are many publications on the Anonymous Folles findings of common areas of Anatolia.

PARİON ODEION'UNDAN BİR GEÇ ROMA DEFİNESİ / A LATE ROMAN HOARD FROM PARION ODEION , 2019

Parion'un, Hadrianus Dönemi'nde, ikinci kez elde ettiği koloni statüsünden sonra, kentteki mimari faaliyetlerde hızlanma olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Bu faaliyetler çerçevesinde Odeion'un MS 2. yüzyılda inşa edildiği düşünülmektedir. 2010 yılı kazı çalışmaları sırasında Odeion'un 1375-1435 plankareli açmasında, 249 adet Geç Roma Dönemi sikkesinden oluşan bir define bulunmuştur. Odeion definesi sikkelerinin imparatorlara göre dağılımına baktığımızda göze çarpan bir konu, sikkelerin Theodosius Hanedanlığı Dönemi'nde (MS 375-450) yoğunlaşmasıdır. Arcadius, Honorius ve II. Theodosius Dönemleri'ne ait çok sayıda örneğin bulunduğu define sikkeleri MS 3. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından MS 5. yüzyılın ilk yarısına kadar uzanmaktadır. En erken MS 5. yüzyılın ilk yarısında kaybedildiği düşünülen Odeion definesinin, diğer arkeolojik kalıntılar ve buluntuların da yardımıyla yapının ilk kullanımının son evresini temsil eden sikkeler olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.
ABSTRACT
The ancient city of Parion is located in Kemer village, north of the Troas region, within the boundaries of the Biga district of Çanakkale province. It is estimated that architechtural activities accelereted after city had gained colony statue for the second time during the Hadrian Period. It is thought that Odeion was also built in 2nd century AD within the framework of these activities. During the 2010 excavation, the hoard consisting of 249 Late Roman Period coins, was found at the 1375-1435 grid trench of Odeion. When we look at the distribution of Odeion hoard coins according to the emperors, a striking issue is the of coins condensation in the Theodosius Dynasty Period (AD 375-450). Containing numerous examples of Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius II periods dates back from the second half of 3rd century AD to first half of 5th century AD. Odeion hoard which was thought to be lost in the earliest first half of 5th century AD, can be assumed that the coins were the last phase of the usage of the structure with the help of other archaeological remains and finds.

The vault thougt to belong to a bath structure. Nine different sections that belong to the bath unearthted during the excavations. The layout and sections of the bath which are different from the typical baths in Asia Minor and shed light on the social and economic life of the ancient city of Parion as well as providing important data regarding the city’s architecture. Among the various groups of small finds discovered during the excavations 100 coins dating from the late Roman Imperial Period are significant. They were found on the bench adjacent to the northern wall of the apoditerium of the bath. Although the coins were found in close proximity to each other, they are not considered as a “hoard” as they were not found in a vessel. Traces of repairs and renovations in the architectural elements of the Slope Bath of Parion can be seen clearly. Ceramics and metal artifacts revealed during the Slope Bath of Parion excavations are among the finds that provide information on the period when the bath was in use. The coins are important in terms of providing a exact dating and information on the period when the bath had a big repair and the final period when it was in active use.. Therefore, these coins are also important in terms of filling a big data gap.
In this study, 100 coins and other finds belonging to the same are evaluated to make suggestions related to the final period of use of the Slope Bath of Parion.

ÖZET
Parion antik kentinde yer alan Yamaç Hamamı kazılarına 2008 yılında, yüzeyde yer alan bir hamama ait olduğu düşünülen tonoz kalıntısından başlanmıştır. Yapı kalıntısında halen devam eden arkeolojik kazılar sonucunda, hamamın dokuz bölümü ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Anadolu’daki tipik Roma Dönemi hamamlarından farklı bir plana ve bölümlere sahip olan hamam, Parion antik kentinin sosyal ve ekonomik yönlerine ışık tutmasının yanında, kentin mimarisi hakkında da önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Yamaç Hamamı kazılarında çok çeşitli buluntu grupları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Ortaya çıkarılan buluntu grupları içerisinde sikkeler önemli buluntu gruplarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle hamamın apoditerium bölümünü kuzey duvarına bitişik olan oturma sekisinin üzerinde Geç Roma Dönemine ait 100 adet sikke ele geçmiştir. Sikkeler birbirine çok yakın bir mesafede ortaya çıkarılmış olmasında rağmen herhangi bir kap vb. malzemenin içinde ortaya çıkarılmaması nedeniyle define olarak adlandırılmamıştır. Yamaç Hamamı’nın mimari unsurlarındaki tamirat ve tadilat izleri net bir şekilde izlenebilmektedir. Yamaç Hamamı kazılarından ortaya çıkarılan seramikler ve metal eserler de hamamın en yoğun kullanım evresi hakkında bilgiler veren diğer bulgulardır. Bu konuda sikkelerin çok daha net bir tarih vermesi, hamamın büyük bir tamirat geçirdiği döneme ve hamamın aktif olarak kullanıldığı son evresine ait bilgi vermesi açısından ve büyük bir veri açığını kapatması yönüyle ayrıca önemlidir.
Çalışmada 100 adet sikke ve diğer kontekst buluntular da değerlendirilerek Yamaç Hamamı’nın son kullanım evresine ait görüş öne sürülmüştür.

PAPHLAGONİA HADRIANOUPOLİS'İ (2010-2014 SEZONLARI), 2021

Although the number of coins seems to be low for a study of fi ve years as the works in these years were mostly based on restoration and conservation, the coins represent a long date range from Late Roman Period to Middle Byzantine Period. Dating back to the period between Licinius I and Michael Ducas VII, the six of these coins belong to the Late Roman Period and the remaining eight ones belong to Byzantine Period. Regarding the distribution of the coins according to mints, while the mint of Constantinople had seven samples, the highest representation rate, there are two coin samples belonging to the mints of Heraclea and Nicomedia. In this study, it was aimed not only to catalogue and evaluate the coins found between 2010 and 2014, but also to reach new numismatic and historical data about the city by using the coin data published in the city and surrounding cities in previous years. To conclude, this study discussed the signifi cance of the city in the region, the place of Hadrianoupolis coin fi nds in Anatolian numismatics, the effects of invasions conducted in the city on the coin fi nds, the clues given by numismatic data about the abandonment date of the city and the fact that Hadrianoupolis, known as a Byzantine city, actually witnessed a period when the Roman Empire was powerful.

Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures

Tarihi geçmişinde bu kadar önemli kültürel ve politik olaylara ev sahipliği yapan Propontis ve çevresi, Troia, Assos, Kyzikos ve Ainos gibi kazıların başlamasından sonra onlarca yıl geçmesine karşın bölge arkeolojisinin yeterince geliştirilemediği ve bu kadar zengin bir bölgenin uluslararası alanda yeterince tartışılamadığı da ortadadır. Bölgenin ve ülkemizin en önemli sanayi kuruluşlarından biri olan İÇDAŞ AŞ’nin Parion ile başlayan ardından Smintheion, Troia, Assos ve Alexandria Troas kazılarında üstlendiği anasponsorluk sonucunda hem arkeolojik kazılar ivme kazanmış hem de bölge ile ilgili bilimsel yayınlarda ciddi bir artış olmuştur.

“Uluslararası Propontis ve Çevre Kültürleri Sempozyumu” adı altında ve bölgeyle ilgili çalışan saygın bilim adamlarının katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmesi planlanan sempozyumla bölge arkeolojisinin bugün geldiği durumun değerlendirilmesi ve arkeolojik anlamda bölgeler arasında bağlantıların kurulması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun yanında bu tür bir uluslararası sempozyumun bilimsel kazılarda ve bilimsel yayınlarda yakalanan ivmenin bu anlamda da gelişmesine, daha da önemlisi bölge arkeolojisinin ve Çanakkale’nin tanıtımına da büyük katkı sağlayacağı ve sempozyum sonunda bildirilerin kitap haline getirileceği Türkçe ve İngilizce yayın inanılmaz değerli, bölge arkeolojisi ve kültürüne yön verecek temel başvuru yayınlardan biri olacağı çok açıktır.
Propontis and the surrounding area, regarding its geopolitical location, witnessed significant cultural changes and the founding of important colonies during the great colonisation period of 750-550 BC. Throughout its history having hosted so much significant cultural and political events; it is obvious that the archaeology of the rich Propontis and the surrounding area has not been able to be improved and discussed in international scale, although many decades have passed since the commencing of excavations as Troia, Assos, Kyzikos and Ainos. The archaeological excavations have gained momentum and the published academic works regarding the region have considerably increased as a result of the sponsorships beginning with Parion, and later continued Smintheion, Troia, Assos and Alexandria Troas by İÇDAŞ INC.; one of the most significant industrial establishment of the region and Turkey.

The planned symposium intends to evaluate the current situation of the region’s archaeology and to establish archaeological inter-regional connections with the participation of academics conducting research in the area under the name of “International Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures”. Furthermore, with such international symposium; the momentum gained in archaeological excavations and publications will progress further, the promotion of Çanakkale and the archaeology of the region, and it is clear that the proceeding publication which is planned to be published in Turkish and English, will become one of the most significant reference sources for the region’s archaeology and culture.

The excavations have been carried out in ten sections of the structure since 2006. 55 coins which were recovered during the excavations carried out in 2017 in the Roman Bath of Parion, which is thought to have been heated by two praefurnii, constitute the subject of this study. The coins are in very poor condition due to both excessive moisture and water exposure and low metal quality, while 14 of them have been damaged beyond recognition. The earliest of the 41 coins that can be identified is dated to the Emperor Hadrian Period (117-138 AD), while the latest to Leo I Period (457-474 AD). The presence of the findings belonging to 13 different emperors among these emperors is very important in terms of demonstrating that the Roman Bath of Parion was in service during the period between these emperors. In addition, the coin findings in praefurnium I are of great importance in terms of supporting the view that the Roman Bath of Parion was built in the IInd century AD and continued to be used until the end of the Vth century AD, and it started to be used as a dump since the end of this century with the help of archaeological remains and coin findings.
