The assemblage also offers a rare glimpse of Thebes amid significant political change: the Catalan takeover of the city and the wider area of central Greece in A.D. 1311. Both the richness of the bothros's material and its location outside the city walls argue against canonical notions of the abandonment of Thebes and economic stagnation caused by the Catalan occupation.

Research paper thumbnail of A coin hoard from Ayasuluk and the arrival of silver gigliati from Mediterranean Europe in early 14th-century western Anatolia

It is now conserved at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum in Selçuk. The coins were minted in southern France, southern Italy and on the island of Rhodes, between ca AD 1303 and 1319 or perhaps a little later. Accordingly, a concealment date of ca 1320 or a bit later is proposed. While the currency which they represent (the gigliato) is well known from other finds of the area, the present hoard is relatively early and from a particularly significant location. This currency found great success in commercial contexts in the eastern Aegean and western Anatolia during the period ca 1325 to ca 1370. By contrast, this study reveals two initial phases in the establishment and further dissemination of the gigliato in a concentrated part of western Anatolia, one in 1304 and another before and after ca 1317. On both occasions the Catalans were instrumental in shaping thes...

is now conserved at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum in Selçuk. The coins were minted in southern France, southern
Italy and on the island of Rhodes, between ca AD 1303 and 1319 or perhaps a little later. Accordingly, a concealment date
of ca 1320 or a bit later is proposed. While the currency which they represent (the gigliato) is well known from other finds
of the area, the present hoard is relatively early and from a particularly significant location. This currency found great success
in commercial contexts in the eastern Aegean and western Anatolia during the period ca 1325 to ca 1370. By contrast, this
study reveals two initial phases in the establishment and further dissemination of the gigliato in a concentrated part of
western Anatolia, one in 1304 and another before and after ca 1317. On both occasions the Catalans were instrumental in
shaping these processes: initially as conquerors on behalf of the Byzantine emperors and then, from their new base in Greece,
as allies of the Aydınoğulları rulers of Ayasuluk. Additionally, it is proposed that this new gigliato currency might have been
minted at Rhodes from the summer of 1319, after which it rapidly reached the Ephesus area in a military context.
