Burcu ERCĠYAS Co-Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Evangelia PĠġKĠN February 2017, 377 pages Dynamics of Medieval Anatolia such as economy, politics, social life and religion, are mostly studied through written sources, public monuments, religious architecture and in most cases decontextualized material culture. These sources of evidence mostly represent the wealthy class and ruling elites. Both rural and urban sites do have the archaeological potential for understanding production, consumption and discard behaviors within domestic and industrial contexts. This kind of a perspective with a multidisciplinary approach, will surely help transform this potential to knowledge. With this approach the role of archaeological excavations is huge, they provide the conditions to detect behavioral signatures through spatial analysis, understanding of the organization and operation of spaces in intrasite level, thus provide the construction of past dynamics. iv The statistical representation of artifacts and ecofacts from a variety of contexts and distribution patterns of all archaeological finds within spaces are expected to increase our understanding of the use of space, production, consumption and discard behaviors. Formation processes in such a study also has increasing significance. In this thesis, medieval Komana (12th – 13th centuries) is studied through spatial analysis of archaeological data. The results of spatial analysis is used in order to identify operation and organization of the site and to set Komana into archaeological and historical context among numerous contemporary sites in various settings, with a comparative analysis.

Dr. Evangelia PĠġKĠN ġubat 2017, 377 sayfa Anadolu Ortaçağı‟nın ekonomi, siyaset, sosyal yaĢam ve inançsal dinamikleri daha çok yazılı kaynaklar, kamusal ve dini mimari kalıntılar, ve arkeolojik kontekstini yitirmiĢ materyal kültür aracılığı ile anlaĢılmaktadır. Bu tür kaynaklar daha çok varsıl ve yöneten elit kesimi temsil etmektedir. Gerek kırsalı gerekse kenti temsil eden arkeolojik alanlar, üretim ve tüketim davranıĢlarının konut ve atölye gibi kontekstlerde anlaĢılması adına son derece büyük bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bu tür bir bakıĢ açısı çok disiplinli bir yaklaĢım ile birlikte hazırda bekleyen bu potansiyelin bilgiye dönüĢmesine kesinlikle yardımcı olacaktır. Bu yaklaĢım ile birlikte arkeolojik kazıların rolü son derece önemlidir ve mekânsal analiz yolu ile davranıĢa dair izlerin belirlemesi ve yerleĢim içi ölçekte vi mekanların organizasyonu ve iĢleyiĢinin belirlenmesine olanak sağlamaktadırlar, böylece geçmiĢ dinamiklerin anlaĢılmasına katkıda bulunurlar.

Member Ferenc Péter Csirkés This thesis aims to present an analysis of the interaction between Christians and Muslims in the west of Asia Minor at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th centuries after two religious-social movements in the Byzantine and the Rum Seljuk Empires, the Arsenite Schism and the Babai Rebellion. After the unsuccessful rebellion of the Babais, antinomian dervishes who had migrated to the west of Asia Minor because of a heavy oppression as well as inquisition by the state and had a different religious belief apart from the mainstream religious understanding of the center initiated missionary activities in the regions along the Byzantine border. Accordingly, these dervishes had joined the military activities of the Turcoman chieftains against the Byzantines and interacted with the local Christian population and religious figures. As a result of this religious interaction, messianic and ascetic beliefs were increasingly present among the Greek-speaking population as well as spiritual leaders of western Anatolia. Since such interfaith and cross- cultural interaction had a considerable impact on the course of all these events, this thesis focuses on them to create a better understanding of the appearance of the Hesychasm in the Byzantine spiritual environment in the later period.

King and founder of the so-called Kingdom of Pontus, ruled 302-266 B.C. Άλλα Ονόματα Mithradates I Ktistes Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης (probably) 350 B.C. – Cios (Gemlik) Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 266 B.C. – (probably) Amaseia (Amasya) Κύρια Ιδιότητα King and founder of the Kingdom of Pontus 1. Birth-Family Mithridates I Ktistes was born around 350 B.C., probably in Cius (Gemlik).1 His father's identity is a controversial point. A manuscript variant in Diodorus Siculus says that he was Mithridates (II of Cios), but Diodorus and other authors say that he was Ariobarzanes, brother of the former; the second possibility seems more plausible.2 The ancient sources consider that the Pontic dynasty was descendent either from Cyrus the Great, or from Darius I, or from one of the "Seven Persians" which murdered Gaumata.3 Those three options are compatible, for Darius himself was one of the Seven and tried to appear as belonging to the same lineage with Cyrus. This genealogy was an aspect of the Pontic Kings' propaganda, although it may have had a real ground: Darius would have given to his son, Gobrias, the government of the region of Mariandinya, in Bithynia. The daughter of Gobrias would have married with Artabazus, son of Pharnaces, another of the Seven.

Alexander Watkins Terrell, a noted Texas politician and judge, acquired the stone on a visit to Troy in 1894 and donated it to the University of Texas in 1898.2 At the time Terrell was in charge of the American legation in Constantinople and was visiting Frank Calvert, one of his consular agents, who lived at the Dardanelles and owned the site of ancient Troy.3 Marble block.

    LA DEGRADACIÓN DE LA REINA GLAFIRA Álvaro Ibáñez Chacón Universidad de Málaga Resumen Este artículo analiza las fuentes literarias y epigráfi cas relativas a la reina Glafi ra, madre de Arquelao de Capadocia, para investigar las causas y el fi n de las negativas caracterizaciones que se han transmitido acerca de la reina de Capadocia, unas consideraciones probablemente infundadas y cuyo origen está en la mala interpretación de las fuentes y en la propia visión que los antiguos tenían de las mujeres. Palabras clave: Glafi ra, Arquelao de Capadocia, Historia Antigua, mujer en Roma. Abstract «Misrepresenting Queen Glafyra». Th is article analyzes the literary and epigraphic sources about Queen Glafi ra, Archelaus of Cappadocia’s mother, to investigate the causes and the origin of the subsequently negative characterizations of the Cappadocian Queen, probably unfounded considerations whose origin lies in the misinterpretation of the sources and in the vision that the ancients had about women. Key words: Glaphyra, Archelaus of Cappadocian, Ancient History, women in ancient Rome. 11 INTRODUCCIÓN Parece ser que el nombre Γλαφύρα fue muy común en Asia Menor, tal y como se desprende de los restos epigráfi cos1, pero, frente a esas mujeres en cierta medida anónimas y desconocidas para nosotros, hubo al menos dos Glafi ra cuya participación en el devenir de los acontecimientos históricos de su época fue más que relevante: por un lado la Glafi ra hija del Arquelao sacerdote de la importante Comana del Ponto, y, por otro, su nieta homónima, hija del monarca capadocio Arquelao Filopatris, que fue esposa de dos hijos de Herodes y de Juba ii de Mauri- tania2.

    TALANTA XXXII-XXXIII (2000-2001) BOSPORUS ON THE VERGE OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA (OUTLINES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) Sergei Saprykin Generally it was believed that the Bosporan Kingdom suffered a deep social and economic crisis starting in the late 2nd-early 1st century BC. This became much worse after its incorporation into the Pontic Kingdom in the reign of Mithridates VI Eupator in ca. 110-107 BC, and continued until the second half of the 1st century AD. Apparently, the crisis came to an end with the establishment of a local Sarmatian dynasty at Panticapaeum. There is much archaeological evidence on which this conclusion can be based, as well as evidence from the ancient authors. They testify to the devastation and destruction of sites in both the European and Asiatic Bosporus. The ruination of some buildings in cities such as Myrmekion and Panticapaeum was also identified. The time span for the destruction was estimated to be late 2nd century BC-1st century AD, which encompasses all the events con - nected with Mithridatic rule of the Bosporus, the fight of Pharnaces I for his ancestral domain, the struggle between Asander and Mithridates of Pergamum, the rule of Polemo I of Pontus there, his struggle with the Aspurgians, the coming to power of Aspurgus, and the conflict of Mithridates VIII (III of Bosporus) with Rome. Thereafter, as the popular interpretation has it, something of a revival took place in the political, eco - nomic and social life of the Bosporus thanks to Sarmatian influence in all spheres of Bosporan society. This interpretation was long dominant; some still follow it (Gaidukevich 1949, 320-84; cf.
