Epigraphical Investigation of the Defensive Layout of Stratonikeia

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the defensive layout of Stratonikeia from a new inscription that records a city gate, a military unit, and an emblem and indicates the direction of a defence division of the city. The current paper presents an epigraphical view of the defence system of Stratonikeia in Karia and discusses this system. Stratonikeia is within the village of Eskihisar in the district of Yatağan, in the province of Muğla. The new village carrying the same name has been rebuilt several kilometers away. There are the walls of three Pyrgoi surrounded Stratonikeia, while the presence of a fourth Pyrgos is uncertain. The coal mining in Yatağan may have destroyed its remains. The citizens of Stratonikeia built the four city gates: the North Gate, a modern appellation, Mese Pyle (the Middle Gate), Tripylon, and Mylasike Pyle (the Mylasa Gate). The city might have been divided into three or into four zones for defence. The emblems of the zones represented the units of the city's army, with the Stratonicean Army comprising the Herakles, Rhopalon, Elephas, and Kapros units. Astragon and Tendeba were part of the defence system of Stratonikeia. Livius only attests to the castles in the Khora of Stratonikeia.

Bu makalenin amacı bir kent kapısı, bir askerî birlik ve bir amblem belgeleyen ve kentin bir savunma bölümünün yönüne işaret eden yeni bir yazıttan hareket ederek Stratonikeia'nın savunma düzenini incelemektir. Bu makale Karia'daki Stratonikeia'nın savunma sistemine epigrafik bir bakış sunmakta ve bu sistemi tartışmaktadır. Stratonikeia, Muğla ilinin Yatağan ilçesinde Eskihisar köyündedir. Aynı adı taşıyan yeni köy birkaç kilometre uzakta yeniden inşa edilmiştir. Stratonikeia'yı çeviren üç Pyrgos'lu surlar vardır. Dördüncü Pyrgos'un varlığı ise belirsizdir. Yatağan'da kömür madenciliği kalıntılarını yok etmiş olabilir. Stratonikeialılar dört kent kapısı inşa etmiştir: Modern bir isim olan Kuzey Kapısı, Mese Pyle (Orta Kapı), Tripylon ve Mylasike Pyle (Mylasa Kapısı). Stratonikeia kenti üç ya da dört savunma bölgesine ayrılmış olabilir. Bu bölgelerin amblemleri, Herakles, Rhopalon, Elephas ve Kapros birliklerinden oluşan Stratonikeia Ordusunu ve ordu birliklerini temsil etmekteydi. Astragon ve Tendeba, Stratonikeia savunma sisteminin parçasıydı. Sadece Livius, Stratonikeia Khora'sındaki bu kalelerden bahsetmiştir.
