Özet
Alanya Archaeological Museum is located in Alanya, in the province of Antalya, on the site of the ancient city of Korakesion. Situated in eastern Pamphylia, the museum’s collection includes coins from both Cilicia and Pamphylia. As of 2021, the museum’s inventory included 39 royal Ptolemaic coins. All of these coins are made of bronze. Coins of Ptolemy II and Ptolemy III are the most numerous. The majority of the coins originate from Alexandria. The chronological distribution of the coins reflects the region’s transition to Ptolemaic rule. Similarly, the absence of coins from the relevant period confirms that Ptolemaic rule in Asia Minor ended at the beginning of the 2nd century BC. Data from Side Museum and Antalya Archaeological Museum, the westernmost museum in Pamphylia, also show that no local mint produced royal bronze coins in the region. It seems that Cyprus met the demand in Pamphylia. In the coming years, the results obtained from the coins in the Alanya Museum will be expanded, as expected, and findings from excavations in the region will be published.
