Abstract

Elaiussa Sebaste, which is located in Cilicia Tracheia, within the borders of Mersin (Turkey), has been a part of the vivid commercial activities in the Mediterranean since the Hellenistic Period up to the 7th century AD due to its geographic setting and natural seaports. The commercial activities of the city extended to various regions from Syria to Spain after the increase of its population. Wine and olive oil production flourished in the Roman period. Owing to the excavations in the city, especially on the island where the seaports take place, many amphorae were found which provide evidence for these commercial relations. The amphorae from several production centres such as Spain, Italy, Aegean islands and Cyprus which were found in the A3 terrace of the southern port show the dimensions of the commercial network. In this study, we investigated the commerce relations between Elaiussa Sebaste and Spain in the Roman Period by taking Spain-origined amphora samples of three different types in consideration.

Özet

Dağlık Kilikia'da (Cilicia Tracheia), günümüz Mersin ili sınırlarında bulunan Elaiussa Sebaste, konumu ve doğal limanları sayesinde Hellenistik Dönemden M.S. 7. yüzyıla kadar Akdeniz ticaret hayatının bir parçası olmuştur. Roma İmparatorluğu Dönemi'nde nüfusunun ve bununla bağlantılı olarak şarap ve zeytinyağı üretiminin artması ile Elaiussa Sebaste, Suriye'den İspanya'ya kadar çok geniş bir alanda ticari faaliyetlerini sürdürmüştür. Kentteki kazı çalışmaları sırasında bu ticari faaliyetleri belgeleyen amphora buluntuları, özellikle limanların konumlandığı ada kısmındaki yerleşim alanlarından ele geçmiştir. Güney limanı A3 terasında bulunan bir fırın kalıntısının altından ele geçen İspanya, İtalya, Ege adaları ve Kıbrıs gibi pek çok üretim merkezine ait amphoralar, ticaret ağının genişliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmada söz konusu merkezlerden İspanya üretimi olan 3 farklı tipteki amphora örneği ele alınarak, Roma Dönemi'nde Elaiussa Sebaste ile İspanya arasındaki ticari ilişkiler incelenmiştir.
