Title:
Batı Lykia'da Ksanthos Hanedanlığı'nın karşıtları ve ardılları: Weχssere'ye ilişkin soruları yeniden ele alış Opponents and successors of the Xanthian dynasty in Western Lycia: The Weχssere questions reconsidered
Description:
<jats:p xml:lang="en">In response to several recent studies published by
Koray Konuk, Diether Schürr and Frank Kolb the author assembles the extant
numismatic evidence of the early 4th century BC from Central and
Western Lycia in order to reconstruct the history of the Xanthos-Valley between
the end of the rule of Erbbina and the rise of Perikle and to establish the
sequence of the principal political agents during that period. He is defending
the traditional hypothesis that there were not less (but also not more) than
two rulers with the name Weχssere. The first one had been a contemporary of
Χeriga, who probably had taken the city of Xanthos from him. The second one,
who might actually have been a son or a relative of his elder namesake, invaded
the Xanthos-Valley from Central-Lycia bringing the reign of the tyrant Erbbina
to an end at the beginning of the 4th century BC. While the likewise attested
agents Aruwãtijesi and Ddẽñtimi were probably co-rulers or lieutenants, the
author holds that Waχssebllimi, Waχssepddimi and Uχssepddimi are possibly to be
seen as nothing else than composite name-forms used by the elder and the
younger Weχssere respectively. Furthermore, the author comes to the conclusion
that the numismatic material might point to a conflict between Mithrapata and Artumpara
in Western Lycia before both were finally defeated by Perikle.</jats:p>
