- Abstract
This study consists of a total of 16 silver coins of five different Cappadocian Kings, which were registered in the collection of Erzurum Archaeology Museum through purchase and confiscation (court). The coins, which were evaluated as a group for the first time, were identified chronologically, dated according to the catalogue created by Simonetta. The coins of the Cappadocian Kingdom in the Erzurum Archaeology Museum are less well represented than other coins in the inventory. However, this study is important in terms of contributing to the comparison and evaluation of data obtained from similar studies and hoard finds in different museums in Turkey. From this research, it was determined that the coin, Cat. No. 1 belonging to Ariarathes V was one of the coins minted in “barbarian style” in his 3rd regnal year with its style and undefined legend structure that differed from the mints of the king in previous years. The coin, Cat. No. 2, belonging to Ariarathes VII, was minted in his 11th or 12th regnal year, and the coin belonging to Ariarathes IX in the catalogue, No. 3 was minted in his 12th regnal year. The coins of Ariobarzanes I, represented in the catalogue Nos. 4-9, were minted in his 27th (Cat. No. 4), 28th (Cat. Nos. 5, 6) and 29th (Cat. Nos. 7, 8) regnal years. It is unclear in what year the coin Cat. No. 9 belonging to Ariobarzanes I was minted. The coins of Ariobarzanes III, Cat. Nos. 10-14 were minted in his 9th regnal year, and coin Cat. No. 15 in his 11th regnal year.
