New English Original cloth bdg. 4to. (31 x 22 cm). In English. [16], 89 p., 41 numerous b/w plates. Sylloge nummorum Graecorum, Turkey 11. The Çetin Erdem Collection: Lydia and Phrygia. During my childhood days I used to play among the ruins of Philadelphia (modern Alasehir). I breathed in the historical atmosphere of Philadelphia, feeling its past and living together with this cultural heritage. I believe that historical settlements are not only ruins but are also the memory of our cultural genes. Furthermore, I strongly feel that the memory and cultural genes of a city manifests itself in a style of life we call "tradition". We may find traces of the past in the language we speak, in our methods of production or in our traditions. However, the place where true memory is hidden is in historical buildings, artifacts and coins. I started collecting the coins of Philadelphia in 1995. I felt that I owed my duty of loyalty to this city. I started collecting with these feelings. I thought I would reach the city's memory in this way. Then, I came to the conclusion that it would be proper to consider the city's history together with its surroundings, and I expanded my collection to include the Lydia and Phrygia regions. Today, an important part of the coinage from Philadelphia are in my collection. Besides the coins of Philadelphia, the majority of the coins which belonged to other cities in Lydia are also in my collection. With this publication, I have presented the coins in my collection to the academia. Now, it is the scientists who will reveal Philadelphia's memory and cultural genes. I believe I have fulfilled my duty loyally. Last but not least, I would like to thank Oguz Tekin and Arif Yaci who prepared the catalog. This catalog is the eleventh volume of the SNG Turkey Project and is part of the Çetin Erdem Collection. Çetin Erdem, the collector, is a lawyer living in the town of Sarigöl in the Manisa Province. All the coins were bought between the years of 1995-2016 by himself, in Sarigöl, where he lives. There are three historical sites which are nearby, these are Sardis, Philadelphia and Thyateira. We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Erdem, collector, who facilitated our work during the preparation of our catalog. We would like to thank Michel Amandry and Aliye Erol Özdizbay who revised the catalog. We would also like to thank Ahmet Boratav of Ege Publications for his support for the publication; our special thanks go to Ms. Hülya Tokmak for her layout work. This SNG volume is, a joint publication of the Turkish Institute of Archaeology (TEBE) and Koç University Suna & Inan Kiraç Research Center for Mediterranean Civilizations (AKMED), has been published with the financial contribution of the Union Académique Internationale thus we appreciate the UAI for their kind support.

Mardin, the sage of Mesopotamia, shines a light on history.= Sürekli Definesi. Mezopotamya'nin bilge sehri Mardin'den tarihi aydinlatan isik. Mardin, the luminary of Mesopotamia is a mystical city. It is an urban center that always manages to imbue a sense of mystery, both to those who are first time visitors and those who were born and raised here. Its architecture, historical legacy, original identity, natural beauty, and the deep memory and experiences it has accrued throughout its long history all combine to form an'above-ground royal treasury'. The layers of the city are accumulations of each of its memories. The footprints of ancient caravans, the rich legacy of cultures of its array of societies and the cacophony of sounds emanating from its religious ceremonies have created a tumulus-like city, both above and below-ground. It is certain that one and all are stirred by the visible remnants of the city. But this in itself is not all that affects us, for the city's 3000-year long history has also bequeathed us with an immensely rich cultural heritage. It is the accumulation of these lasting values that form Mardin's legacy to mankind. Sürekli Definesi (The lasting treasure trove) describes a human treasure whose valuable exceeds even that of gold. The book integrates both the above and below-ground faces of the treasures of Mardin, and is also important as a rich source of knowledge that sheds light on the city's past.

New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In Turkish. Color ills. and photos. 208 p.: with 152 colour and 23 b/w photographs, 60 drawings and 8 plan diagrams Yazilikaya: Hittite rock sanctuary. The rock sanctuary of Yazilikaya is one of the most important ritual sites of the Late Bronze Age in Turkey. Its walls are decorated with unique rock-cut reliefs: over ninety male and female deities, animals and mythical beings - more than half of all known Hittite reliefs. The sanctuary once lay on the outskirts of Hattusa, capital of the Hittite Empire, in central Anatolia. The German Archaeological Institute has been excavating here since 1931 and the rock sanctuary of Yazilikaya has been thoroughly investigated in the process. While scientific literature is plentiful, what is lacking is a "complete Yazilikaya": a comprehensively illustrated publication in English intended both for experts and the broader reading public. This book is intended to fill that gap. It offers the reader a virtual tour of the sanctuary and can also serve as a guidebook for visitors to the site. At the same time it summarizes the results of earlier excavations as well as the latest research. Lavishly illustrated with spectacular new photographs of the rock massif, it contains a detailed description of the rock chambers with the reliefs and the accompanying temple buildings. This section is followed by chapters reconstructing the history of the sanctuary and discussing its still mysterious function. Other chapters focus on the Hittites and their capital city, the discovery of the site and its research history and much more besides - with the aim of bringing the ancient monument vividly to life before the reader's eyes.

New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 183 p., color and b/w ills. Setting forth concepts related to weighing and measuring meant developing both practical and philosophical links with the world. When ancient civilizations used seeds produced in the fertile soils of Mesopotamia to establish the first units of weight, the observations they made in relation to the act of measuring created a springboard for civilizations to thrive. The 2nd millennium BC saw the frontiers of discovery advancing along the trade routes between Mesopotamia and Anatolia. While the fascination with precision in weighing and measuring continued, there was a corresponding migration of myths from the realms of the gods to the land of mortals, and concepts like truth and justice became associated with the balancing of the suspended pans of weighing scales. In ancient Egypt the sins of the deceased were weighed on a set of scales, while in ancient Greek and Roman cultures, the weighing scale was a symbol of justice and an indispensable illustrative element in the depiction of gods and goddesses. In Byzantine society, too, the act of just and accurate weighing resonated deeply with ethical sensibilities and recalled the weighing of souls. And in the Ottoman Empire, precise weighing represented the foundations of trust, not only in trade but also just as notably in religious life. "Man is the measure of all things: of the things that are, that they are, of the things that are not, that they are not," proclaimed Protagoras. The endeavor to measure the world with a handful of units brought forth the capacity to recreate it in the abstract. As the measurement of discovery became the substance of myths, weighing and measuring, beyond being mere physical actions, became an important means of self-expression to those captivated by the universe and what lay beyond the boundaries of knowledge. With a selection of objects from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, The Art of Weights and Measures aims to explore, through the eyes of civilizations, gods, merchants, master craftsmen, and their apprentices from the 2nd millennium BC to the present day, how weights and measures have shaped economies, cultures, and intercultural relations, their impact on social dynamics of trust, and their journey towards becoming standardized units.

Papers from the Second International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium. The designation of Istanbul by the European Union's Council of Ministers as the European Capital of Culture for 2010 was instrumental in the decision to focus on Constantinople in the Second International Sevgi Gonul Byzantine Studies Symposium, which was held on 21-23 June 2010 at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. The particular theme of the symposium, "The Byzantine Court: Source of Power and Culture," was selected, on the other hand, in view of Constantinople's essential role as Byzantine imperial capital soon after its foundation by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great on 11 May 330. The aim of the symposium was to evaluate, from administrative, political, social, economic, and religious perspectives, the impact of the political power that spread out from the Great Palace and, as of the twelfth century, from the Blachernai Palace to the rest of the empire, and to investigate the reflections of this power in the cultural sphere. Presented in this volume are thirty out of the forty papers delivered at the Second International Sevgi Gonul Byzantine Studies Symposium. The papers have been grouped under the following four section headings: "Byzantine Palace Architecture," "The Byzantine Court as the Center of Imperial Power," "Ceremonies at the Court and in the City," and "Court Culture and Visual Arts.".

THE CARIANS OVERSEAS is a documentary project, which follows the traces and documents the remains of the Carians, who, starting from the 10th BC, have worked in Egypt, Iran and Israel either as mercenaries or stonemasons. Being among the first settlers of the region of Southwest Anatolia, the Carians raised the world's first women admirals Artemisia I and Artemisia II, bequeathed us the Maussolleion, the monumental tomb of King Mausolus, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, offered the word "mausoleum" to world literature and preserved their culture and traditions for thousands of years. Based on the geographical features of their land, they lived either on the mainland, the islands or in locations overseas. They were known as good soldiers, fearless sailors and pirates with advanced warrior skills. Ancient Egyptian sources describe the Carians, who went to Egypt to work, as "men of bronze coming from the sea". According to Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the Carians had created the tradition of fixing a handle to a shield, fastening a crest and a tassel on the helmet and adorning and painting the shield. In ancient Persian sources, the Carians are referred to as people serving in the Persian army and navy, who were, besides their warrior character, skilled stonemasons, artisans, craftsmen and qualified in handling heavy goods. Being one of the most interesting civilizations of Anatolia, the Carians have proved their existence in the countries they have been, by inscribing their initials on stones in the Carian language and thus leaving important information regarding the places where they have lived, camped as well as their expedition routes. Following the traces of the Carians in Egypt, Iran and Israel and documenting their remains in museums and archaeological sites despite great difficulty, THE CARIANS OVERSEAS is an important source, for both the information it contributes to Carian archaeology and the research stories in its content.
