Abstract

Old Smyrna was founded on a very small promontory located on the northern part of the Smyrnian gulf and inhabited since the beginning of the 3rd millennium. Over time, this promontory at the foot of Yamanlar Dağı (Sipylos Mountain) has become a small hill known as Tepekule in the Bayraklı Quarter, approximately 4 km from the provincial center of Izmir. According to Herodotus, the initial Greek settlement at Old Smyrna was Aeolic, and within a short time, it fell into the hands of Ionian refugees from Colophon. At this strategic point, the ever-developing city continued her life here until the end of the 4th century BC. The strategic importance of the city is also emphasized by the fortified wall, which has been surrounded since the 9th century BC.In the archaeological excavations at Smyrna dating back to 1930, many metal finds from different periods of settlement were discovered. Apart from a few remarkable works, these finds have not been published extensively. Old Smyrna, which is the scene of many wars in history, also provides important information with a lot of arms and armour found in the excavation. Much of these weapons seem to be related to the Lydian attack on the city. About 600 BC, based on historical documentation and archaeological finds, Smyrna was attacked and captured by Lydian forces, led by the king Alyattes. In this paper, attacks on the city, especially the Alyattes’ attack, and archeological data and weapons thought to be associated with them will be discussed.

Özet

Eski Smyrna, İzmir körfezinin kuzey kesiminde, MÖ 3. binyılın başından itibaren iskan edilmiş olan küçük bir burun üzerine kurulmuştur. Yamanlar Dağı’nın (Sipylos Dağı) eteklerinde yer alan bu çıkın-tı, zamanla İzmir il merkezine yaklaşık 4 km uzaklıktaki Bayraklı Mahallesi’nde yer alan ve bugün Tepekule olarak bilinen küçük bir tepeye dönüştü. Herodotos’a göre, Eski Smyrna’daki ilk Yunan yerleşimi Aioller tarafından kurulmuştu, ancak kent kısa süre içinde Kolophonlu İonların eline geçti. Bu stratejik noktada, sürekli gelişen şehir, MÖ 4. yüzyılın sonuna kadar burada yaşamını sürdürdü. Kentin stratejik önemi, MÖ 9. yüzyıldan beri kuşatılmış sur tarafından vurgulanmaktadır.Smyrna’da 1930’dan itibaren devam eden arkeolojik kazılarda, farklı yerleşim dönemlerine ait birçok metal buluntu ele geçmiştir. Birkaç dikkat çekici eserin dışında, bu buluntular kapsamlı bir şekilde yayınlanmamıştır. Tarihteki birçok savaşın sahnesi olan Eski Smyrna, kazıda bulunan çok sayıda silah ve zırhla önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu silahların büyük kısmının kentin maruz kaldığı bir Lydia saldırısı ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Gerçekten de, tarihi belgeler ve arkeolojik buluntulara göre MÖ 600 dolaylarında Smyrna bir saldırıya uğramış ve kral Alyattes önderliğindeki Lydia ordusu tarafından ele geçirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kentle ilgili saldırılar, özellikle Alyattes saldırısı ve bunlarla ilişkili olduğu düşünülen arkeolojik veriler ve silahlar tartışılacaktır.
