- Abstract
A treasure consisting of 68 silver coins belonging to Mithrapata and Aruwãtijesi were stated to have been found in Mount Musa, Cıngırık Hill. In addition, Mithrapata coins, which constitute the main part of the treasure, were divided into 5 groups. This treasure found in Southeast Lycia offers important information and suggests that the Upper Olympos Settlement, which is thought to be connected, may be a dynastic period settlement and it allows suggesting that it can be dated earlier than already suggested date of IV century BC. In addition to the general history of the coins of Mithrapata and Aruwãtijesi, the stated area where the treasure was found, the architectural features of its surroundings and the status of the kylixes in which the treasure is stated to be located were taken into consideration while determining the date of the treasure. In light of these criteria, Mithrapata and Aruwãtijesi (Mount Musa?) Treasure can be dated to 390-370/360 BC.
