Nerede Basıldığı Bilinmeyen $Theta$Y Lejandlı Sikkeler

Ön yüzlerinde Zeus Ammon ve Athena başı, arka yüzlerinde ise yıldız motifi ve çelenk içerisindemeşale tasviri bulunan iki seri sikke, taşıdıkları lejand yüzünden Troas Bölgesinde var olduğu düşünülen,Apollon Tapınağıyla ünlü Thymbra kentine atfedilmiştir. Söz konusu atfın en temel gerekçesi Zeus Ammonbaşlı ve yıldızlı iki sikkenin 1825 yılında H. P. Borrell tarafından Çanakkale seyahati esnasında TroasBölgesinden satın alındığı bilgisi ve arka yüzde yer alan yıldızın benzerlerine Kolonai sikkelerinde rast- lanıyor olmasıdır. Fakat bu sikkelerin Troas sınırları içerisinde sirküle olmamaları hem L. Robert, hem deJ. M. Cookun dikkatini çekmiştir. Ammon başlı yıldızlı üç sikkenin Pergamon kazılarında bulunmuşolması ve Gambreion sikkelerinin arka yüzlerinde yer alan yıldız tasviriyle olan yakınlık bu sikkelerinThymbrada değil; ama Güney Mysia ya da Aiolisde adını bilmediğimiz bir kentte basılmış olabileceklerini düşündürmektedir. Antik kaynakların verdiği bilgiler ve sikke ikonografisi değerlendirildiğinde darpyerinin bu bölgede olması büyük bir ihtimal dahilindedir.

Coins with a $Theta$Y Legend whose Minting Place is Uncertain

Because of their legends two series of coins with the heads of Zeus Ammon and Athena on theobverse and a star motif and the depiction of a torch within a wreath on the reverse have been attributedto the town of Thymbra, which is famous for its Temple of Apollon and is thought to be situated in theTroad region. The main reason for this information is that two coins bearing the head of Zeus Ammonand a star were purchased in Troad in 1825 by H. P. Borrell during his journey to Çanakkale and the factthat stars similar to the one on the reverse are seen on Kolonai coins. But both L. Robert and J. M. Cooknoticed that these coins did not circulated within the frontiers of Troad. Three coins carrying the head ofAmmon and a star, unearthed during the Pergamon excavations and the similarity to the depiction of thestar on the reverse of the Gambreion coins make us consider that these coins might have been struck notin Thymbra but in a town whose name we do not know in South Mysia or Aeolis. After the evaluation ofarchaeological excavations and surface surveys conducted in the Troad region, during which no such coinshave been discovered to date, from the information provided by ancient sources and coin iconography, wemay assume that the issuing city was probably located in south Mysia or in Aeolis.
