We would like to thank Nilgün Ustura, Director of the Bergama Museum and Ahmet Yaraş, ex-director of the Allianoi excavations for permitting us to publish the coins found at Allianoi. This work was supported by Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Istanbul University (Project number: 21366).

1Allianoi, the ancient site located at Paşa Ilıcası about 20 km northeast of Bergama (ancient Pergamum), was an ancient health centre whose known history goes back to the Hellenistic period. But it was during the Roman Imperial period that it gained fame as a healing centre. Salvage excavations brought to light a great part of the site, where most of the remains uncovered until 2011, are from the late Antiquity and early Byzantine periods (Fig. 1). Unfortunately, Allianoi was flooded under the waters of Yortanlı Dam in 2011.

2Due to the construction works of Yortanlı Dam, salvage excavations were carried out at Allianoi first by the Directorate of Bergama Museum (one campaign) and then by Ahmet Yaraş (nine campaigns) between 1997 and 2006. Besides the architectural remains, sculpture, various metal objects and pottery as well as medical instruments, excavations brought to light thousands of coins not comparable to any other finds in quantity. The excavation coins from the campaigns of 1998, 1999 and 2000 have been already published1; the present article covers the coins unearthed in 2001 campaign. During that campaign, 2083 coins in total were found of which the earliest ones are from the Hellenistic period while the latest ones are from the Late Ottoman period, i.e. the 19th century2. Nearly one-fourth of the coins could not be identified since they were too worn and corroded but most of the unidentified coins may be dated – due to the traces discernible on them – to the Late Roman period, i.e. 4th-5th centuries A.D (Fig. 2).

3Among the Hellenistic coins unearthed at Allianoi in 2001 are those of Atarneus (2 pieces), Pergamum (9 pieces), Aigai (1 piece), Cyme (2 pieces), Elaia (1 piece) and an unidentified Seleucid coin (see Table 1). Some unidentified coins may be dated to the Hellenistic period. The number of the Hellenistic coins in the total number is quite few (% 1.1). The cities Aigai, Cyme, Elaia, Atarneus and Pergamum, which are represented in the catalogue with little number of coins, are near to Allianoi. Beside the goat’s-head type coin of Aigai, the one-handled-vase type coin of Cyme, the torch-within-wreath type coin of Elaia, the horse-and-serpent type coin of Atarneus, Pergamum is represented with nine coins. Pergamene bronze coins were studied previously by Westermark3 and recently by Chameroy4. Four coins, which are the earliest ones, bear the legend ΦΙΛΕΤΑΙΡΟΣ (3rd century B.C.). One of them is a figure of Asclepius seated and feeding a serpent while the other two bear a bow on their reverses. The obverse of an unepigraphic coin dated to the end of the 3rd century-133 B.C. bears a head of Athena and a serpent on the reverse. Two coins, which date to the same period, bear a head of Asclepius on the obverse and serpent-staff and serpent coiled on omphalos on the reverse respectively. These last two coins date to the end of 2nd century B.C.5 The other two coins with head of Athena / Nike and the legend ΠΕΡΓΑΜΗΝΩΝ date to the 1st century B.C.6 The last Hellenistic coin in the catalogue is a Seleucid coin of bronze (Apollo seated on omphalos) and could not be identified since the legend is illegible. The number of the Hellenistic coins found in the 2001 campaign shows parallelism with the number of the Hellenistic coins found during the previous years; the total number of the Hellenistic coins does not exceed 10 coins. This picture shows us that Allianoi was a small and lesser health centre in that period, and was inhabited intensively during the late Roman and early Byzantine periods.

Roman Provincial Coins

  • 7 Tekin and Erol-Özdizbay 2013: 302, no 5.
  • 8 BMC Ionia: 225, 154 (Maximinus) – 155 (Maximus).

4Roman Provincial coins found during the 2001 campaign are from the cities of Mysia, Troas, Aeolis, Ionia and Lydia (see Table 2). Troas is represented with coins of Alexandria Troas (1, Septimus Severus) and Assos (1, Commodus) but attribution to Assos is uncertain since its reverse legend is illegible. Elaia is represented with two coins; the coin with the head of Athena / kalathos containing poppy and ears of corn may possibly be dated to the 1st/2nd century A.D. A coin with a similar reverse type from the time of Claudius (A.D. 41-54) was found at Allianoi in 19997. The other coin is from the time of Julia Domna and bears a standing figure of Asclepius on the reverse. The majority of the Roman provincial coins are attributed to Pergamum. In addition to the coins without imperial portraits, there are coins with the busts of Augustus, Germanicus-Drusus, Traianus, Antoninus Pius, Commodus, Septimus Severus, Caracalla and Etruscilla. Perperene (Commodus), Attalea (Septimus Severus), Nakrasa and Phokaia are represented with one coin each. The river-god represented on the reverse of the Phokaian coin should be Smardos (a tributary to Hermos, modern Gediz) since Phokaia is situated near the mouth of this river. However, on some emissions of Phokaian coins struck during the Imperial times read CMAPΔ in the exergue, below the reclining figure of the river-god8. Some forty coins could not be identified since they are heavily corroded.

Roman Coins

5The majority of the Roman coins unearthed belongs to the 4th-5th centuries A.D. (see Table 3). The only Roman coin from the 1st century A.D. belongs to Tiberius. The second century A.D. is only represented with the coins of Hadrianus and Faustina I (wife of Antoninus Pius). The 3rd-century-A.D. coins begin with Septimus Severus (193-211) and continue – with some gaps – until Galerius Maximianus (293-311). The 4th-5th-century-A.D. coins which constitute the biggest group range from Maximinus (305-313) to Leo I (457-474) with some interruptions. The most represented emperors in this period are Constantius II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO) and Arcadius. No gold coin is found among the Roman coins. Among the mints of the Roman coins are Rome, Aquileia, Lugdunum, Thessalonica, Siscia, Heraclea, Constantinople, Nicomedia, Cyzicus and Antioch. The coins of Tiberius, Hadrianus and Faustina I are denarii. Some of the 3rd century A.D. coins are antoniniani and some of them are of bronze. Nearly one thousand late Roman coins could not be identified but majority should belong to the 4th-5th centuries A.D. and are of small units (AE 4). The 2001 campaign’s excavation coins show parallelism with the coins of the years 1998-2000.

Byzantine Coins

  • 9 We would like to thank Julian Baker, who identified these five coins.
  • 10 Bellinger 1966.

6Byzantine coins range in date from Anastasius (491-518) to Heraclius (610-641) without interruptions (Table 4). No coin was found from the reign of Constantine III through Constans II. The only coin of the 7th century belongs to Constantine IV (668685). This case shows also parallelism with the case of 1998-2000 campaigns finds. In other words, Byzantine coins at Allianoi begin with Anastasius and continue until Heraclius. After Heraclius there is a gap until the 10th-11th centuries. The coin of Constantine VII (913-959) found in 2000 and the coin of Constantine IV (668-685) found in 2001 are exceptions for this gap. From the 12th century onwards – although not intensively – Byzantine coins occur again at Allianoi. During the 2001 excavation campaign five Bulgarian imitative and Latin Empire coins were found9. Byzantine coins are represented with the mints of Thessalonica, Constantinople, Nicomedia, Cyzicus, Antioch, Carthage and Constantine in Numidia. Although the half follis of Justin II (cat. no 1506) bears CON as a mint mark it was attributed to Constantine in Numidia in Africa instead of Constantinople according to the Bellinger’s attribution for its different appearance10. This appearance distinguishes it from the ones of Constantinople. Byzantine coins in the catalogue are all bronze/copper except one (AU, Anastasius, cat. no 1457).

7During the 2001 campaign a few late Ottoman coins as well as a Turkish coin (5 gurush) of the early 20th century were found.

8Furthermore, a late Roman exagium solidi (cat. no 1591) was unearthed during the 2001 excavation. On the obverse there are two imperial busts facing, wearing diadem, draped and a cross between heads.

9Above the busts it reads DDNNAAVVGG; on the reverse, emperor is standing facing, holding labarum and globus cruciger; to right below, a star. The legend is EXACIVM SOLIDI. In the exergue, CONS, an abbreviation of the mint-place where this weight was minted (Constantinopolis). The two busts may represent Theodosius II and Valentinianus

  • 11 Kent 1994: 76; Hahn 1989: Pl. 2, 32.
  • 12 This weight was already published in detail in Tekin 2014. For the closest example cf. Bendall 1996 (...)

10This exagium is rare for its reverse type (glor orvis terrar). Later, this type was transferred from Constantinopolis to Thessalonica (A.D. 424) and continued there until the solidi of Marcianus11. The hole was possibly filled with silver. This weight which was used to check the mass of the gold coins (solidi) dates to the second quarter of the 5th century A.D.12.

Coins of Bulgarian Imitative and Latin Empire (by Julian Baker)

215The campaign of 2001 produced five coins dating to within a decade 1200-1210. All are trachea, and most are of similar controversial attributions (Bulgaria 1521-1522 and Thessalonica 1524-1525) that have already been discussed in a previous report (Colloquium Anatolicum XIII 2014). The main difference with the Allianoi 2000 hoard lies in the fact that that amongst the so-called Latin coins (1523-1525) the large module prevails. In combination, the evidence from the 2000 and 2001 campaigns is important in suggesting that all coins presented here were in fact minted in Constantinople.
