Abstract

It is stated in the literature that the Macedonian king Alexander the Great came to Gordion for his eastward expedition and resided in the region for a while. It was very difficult and seemed impossible to carry a lot of military equipment on such long marches with the army. During the expedition in the Macedonian army, the number of support personnel was equal the number of soldiers and they carried food, weapons and other equipment. Even today, the war academies teach how to deal with strategic supply and logistic support in the battles of great armies for many years. The fact that Alexander the Great ran this extraordinary logistics system from centeralized manner and without any problems reveals his logistics genius as well as being a military strategist. This study is based on examining the basic relationships between Alexander the Great's strategy, tactics, timing of his marches and product supply, taking into account time, distance, consumption and transportation capabilities. It has been tried to make an evaluation under the conditions of that day about which gastronomic products may have been consumed while passing through Ankara with the armies of Alexander the Great.

Özet

Makedonya kralı Büyük İskender’in doğuya yaptığı seferler sonucunda Gordion şehrine geldiği ve bir süre bölgede ikamet ettiği kaynaklarda yer almaktadır. Bu kadar uzun yürüyüşler içinde tonlarca yükün ordu ile birlikte taşınması çok zorlayıcı, bir yerde olanaksız gözükmektedir. Makedon ordusunda seferler sırasında sayıları askerler kadar olan destek personeli; yiyecekler, silahlar ve diğer ekipmanlarını taşımıştır. Çok uzun seneler büyük orduların yapmış oldukları muharebelerde nasıl bir stratejik ikmal ve lojistik destek ile savaşacağı bugün bile harp akademilerinde ders olarak okutulmaktadır. Büyük İskender’in bu olağanüstü lojistik sistemi tek elden ve sorunsuz yürütmüş olması onun sadece askeri bir stratejist olması yanında lojistik dehasını da ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma zaman, mesafe, tüketim ve ulaşım kabiliyetleri göz önüne alınarak Büyük İskender’in stratejisi, taktikleri, yürüyüşlerinin zamanlaması ve ürün tedariki arasındaki temel ilişkilerin incelenmesi üzerine kurgulanmıştır. Büyük İskender’in orduları ile Ankara’dan geçerken hangi gastronomik ürünlerin tüketilmiş olabileceğine dair o günün şartlarında bir değerlendirme yapılmaya çalışılmıştır.
