SERVILIUS ISAURICUS’UN BATI PAMPHYLIA’DAKİ DENİZ SEFERİ: FETİH YA DA YENİDEN FETİH?

APamphylia bölgesi, Pergamon Kralı III. Attalos’un vasiyeti gereği Pergamon Krallığı toprakları üze- rinde 129 yılında kurulan Asia Eyaleti’ne kuruluşundan itibaren dahildi. Ancak 100 yılında çıkarılan lex de provinciis praetoriis ile Pamphylia –ve muhtemelen bazı çevre bölgeler– Asia Eyaleti’nden ayrılarak yeni kurulan Cilicia Eyaleti’ne dahil edildi. I. Mithridates Savaşı’ndan sonra Cilicia Eyaleti’ne atanan valilerden P. Servilius Vatia, eyaletteki beş yıllık görev süresinin ilk iki yılında (yani İ.Ö. 78-77’de) eya- letinin batı bölümünde bir deniz sefer düzenledi. Servilius, bu seferinde korsan şefi Zeniketes’in elindeki Olympos ve Phaselis kentlerini ele geçirmişti. Bu deniz seferinin ardından eyaleti terk edeceği İ.Ö. 74 yılına kadar iç bölgedeki Isauria’ya bir kara seferi düzenleyen Servilius Vatia nihayetinde Isauricus ag- nomen’ini aldı. Birçok modern araştırmacı Olympos ve Phaselis’in Cilicia eyaletinin dışında olduğunu varsayarak Servilius Vatia’nın deniz seferini bir fetih olarak tanımlamaktadır. Ancak yayınlanan yeni epigrafik belgeler bu kentlerin Asia Eyaleti’nin kuruluşundan itibaren eyalete dahil olabileceklerini orta- ya koymuşlardır. Bu makalede antik edebi kaynaklardaki bilgiler eldeki yeni kanıtlar ışığında değerlendi- rilerek Servilius Isauricus’un Batı Pamphylia’daki deniz seferi yeniden ele alınacaktır

The Naval Expedition of Servilius Isauricus in Western Pamphylia: Conquest or Re-Conquest?

Pamphylia was included in the province of Asia since its foundation in 129 BC on the territory of theAttalid Kingdom by the testament of Attalos III of Pergamon. According to the lex de provinciis praetoriisissued in 100 BC, however, the province of Cilicia was established on the southern shore of Asia Minorby the separation of Pamphylia –and probably some of its adjacent regions– from the province of Asia.P. Servilius Vatia, who was among the governors of Cilicia after the First Mithridatic War, conducted alarge-scale naval expedition against the pirates in the first two years of his five-year tenure (i.e. in 78–77BC) in the western part of his province. On this expedition Servilius captured the settlements Olympos andPhaselis, which were ruled by the pirate chieftain Zeniketes. After this naval expedition, Servilius Vatiaconducted land operations in Isauria until 74, when he left his province and finally obtained the agnomenof Isauricus. Many modern scholars assume that Olympos and Phaselis were outside of the Cilician pro-vince and accordingly define Servilius Vatia’s naval campaign as a conquest. New epigraphic evidence,however, has revealed that these cities may have been included in the province since its establishment.This paper aims to reconsider the naval expedition of Servilius Isauricus in Western Pamphylia by evalu-ating the information in the ancient literary sources in light of the new epigraphic data.
