Abstract

Under Hadrian the empire had its economic, military and political heyday. The emperor undertook many construction and development activities through the empire. Mysia and Bithynia, where he often went hunting, attracted his particular attention. In Mysia he founded four cities named after him. Nowhere else in the empire can be found in such close proximity to one another so many cities named after this emperor. Hadrian adopted the cult of Zeus as if it were a cult of his own person and endeavoured to spread it in the region, giving the title neokoros to Nikaia and Kyzi­kos. He founded the cult of Antinous and began to spread it from said area. He also gave aid to cities damaged by earthquakes, numerous buildings were repaired or reconstructed thanks to him. As a result of these activities Hadrian was honoured by the cities of the region with the titles of restitutor and conservator. Without interfering with the local administrative systems, the emperor brought about the Romanization of the Mysian and Bithynian regions and ensured their development.

Özet

Hadrianus Devri, imparatorluğun ekonomik, askeri ve siyasi anlamda en güçlü olduğu dönemdi. İm­pa­rator bu gücü bütün Roma İmparatorluğu’nun daha mamur bir hale getirilip gelişmesinde kullanmıştır. Avlanmak için sık sık geldiği Mysia ve Bithynia toprakları onun özel olarak ilgisini çekmiş ve burasıyla diğer bölgelere nazaran daha fazla ilgilenmiştir. Mysia’da kendi adıyla anılan dört kent kurdurması bunun açık göstergesidir. Yapılan araştırmalarda imparatorluk sınırları içerisinde hiçbir yerde, birbir­lerine bu kadar yakın olup imparatorun adıyla anılan başka kent grubu bulunmamaktadır. Nikaia ve Kyzi­kos’a neokor unvanlarının verilmesini sağlayan imparator, Zeus kültünü sanki kendi kültü gibi sa­hip­lenerek bölgede yaymaya çalışmıştır. Ayrıca, kurulmasına bizzat ön ayak olduğu Anti­nous kültünü yay­maya bu bölgeden başlamıştır. Bunun dışında depremlerin yıktığı kentlerin onarıl­masını sağlamış, bir­çok yapı onun sayesinde onarılmış ya da yeniden inşa edilmiştir. Bu icraatları sonucunda bölge kent­leri tarafından Restitutor ve Conservator unvanlarıyla da onurlandırılmıştır. İmpa­rator M.S. 2. yüzyılın başın­da yerel yönetim sistemlerine müdahale etmeden Mysia ve Bithynia bölge­lerinin Roma­nizas­yo­nunu gerçekleştirip kalkınmalarını sağlamıştır.
