AMISOS TREASURE
SHORT HISTORY OF AMISOS (SAMSUN)
Amisos was founded as a coastal city
at a gulf with the same name in Ponthus
region in the north of Asia Minor.
The city is situated between two rivers,
Kýzýlýrmak River
and.....? (Halys). It is on a hill
at the seaside. The city, which is
an open harbour, had played an important
role especially in ancient times as
not only does it have a close relation
with its hinterland, but it is also
the only useful harbour between Sinop
(Sinope) and Trabzon (Trapezeus).
Amisos, which had been dominated by
Athens until the end of IV th century
B.C., was first occupied by Persians
in 370 B.C., and then by Ponthus Kingdom
(IIIrd century B.C.), after Anatolia
was dominated by Alexander the Great.
Ponthus King, Mithridades Europator,
made not only Sinop but also Samsun
a royal city. The name of Amisos was
often heard during the wars between
Mithridades and Romans in the first
century B.C. it had been surrounded
by the Roman General Lucullus, and
after it had fallen, it was burned
by the people of Amisos. Then, Amisos
was included in Roman Empire and constructed
again. After this, it achieved its
previous fame. During Byzantium period,
it became a bishopric centre and continued
to develop.
During the road enlargement studies
in Ancient Amisos city, at Cedit Mahallesi
(quarter) by ilkadim Municipality,
Samsun, it was informed on Tuesday,
28 November 1995 that a hole was seen
and some researchers from the museum
went there to work. We
see that the jewellery are located
in appropriate places (that is, the
crown is on the head, necklace is
on the neck and the earrings are at
the level of the ear) in this tomb
that is in the form of an Insitu.
Amisos had had its
golden age during the Kingdom of Mithridades,
VI. Ponthus King, and had become the
government centre of the empire. Culture
and art became widespread in this
period and the most developed mints
and ceramic ateliers of the ancient
times were established and developed
in Amisos. The richness of these graves,
the quality and delicacy of the golden
death gifts and the symbols used have
close similarities with the shapes
and symbols on the Amisos Coins minted
during the period of Mithridades VI.
