2015New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (33 x 23 cm). In English and Turkish. 552 p., color and b/w ills. Since the establishment of the Attalid dynasty in the 3rd century bc the ancient city of Pergamon had been the capital and royal residence of the Attalid kingdom as well as a more or less independent Hellenistic polis with all its civic institutions. Consequently this book concentrates above all on Pergamon as a city and a royal capital, on its inhabitants and its sacred spaces, which feature so prominently in the urban fabric and include the Sanctuary of Athena, the Great Altar, the Asklepieion and the Red Hall (or Red Basilica). Although the chronological focus lies on the Hellenistic epoch, the articles in this volume cover a span from prehistory to the Byzantine period, as is essential if one is to understand the prerequisites for the city's development within its landscape, and also to appreciate how the legacy of Hellenism was handed down, changed, enriched and also destroyed in subsequent periods.

Kaynaklar, kalintilar, buluntular.= Kelenderis I. Sources, remains and finds. Kelenderis (Aydincik) is a town and district of Mersin Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 173 km (107 mi) from Mersin and 325 km (202 mi) from Antalya. Aydincik has also been called Celenderis, Gilindire, Kelenderis. Aydincik is the site of the ancient Greek Celenderis, a port and fortress in Isauria. It was one of the best harbours of this coast in ancient times and also a very strong defensive position. Artemidorus, with other geographers, considered this place, as the commencement of Cilicia. There must have been earlier settlement going back to the Hittites and Assyrians but so far no evidence has been uncovered. According to legend the city was founded by Sandocus, a grandson of Phaethon, who emigrated here from Syria. He married Pharnace, the princess of Hyria. Their son Cinyras founded Paphos. Historians reported that the city was indeed a Phoenician settlement, later expanded by an Ionian colony from Samos. Excavations carried out since 1986 have revealed findings going back to the 8th century B.C. when the Samians arrived. The city thrived during the 4th and 5th centuries BC. It was a stop on the shipping lanes between the Aegean Sea to the west, Cyprus to the south, and Syria to the east. In the 450s B.C. the fleets of Athens passed by on their way to support rebellions against the Achaemenid Empire in Cyprus and Egypt. During this period Celenderis became the easternmost city to pay tribute to the Athenian-led Delian league. Payments were only made from 460 B.C. to 454 B.C. before Athens abandoned both campaigns and accepted a peace agreement which left Celenderis in the Achaemenid-allied Kingdom of Cilicia. During the Hellenistic era (1st century BC) Celenderis was in a political coalition with the kingdom of the Ptolemys of Egypt, and faced severe difficulties from piracy. This problem persisted until Ancient Rome took military actions against the pirates, and Celenderis enjoyed a second period of wealth as the Romans secured the Mediterranean trade routes. They built a city around the port with villas, palaces, waterworks, and baths. During the Middle Ages, the grandeur persisted as the city was controlled by Byzantium, and in the 11th century the Armenians.

1999New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (33 x 24 cm). In English. 167 p., color ills. Banknotes of the Imperial Ottoman Bank based on the Ottoman Bank Archives and Tahsin Isbiroglu Collection. This book attempts to present all the banknotes and instruments of circulation issued by the Imperial Ottoman Bank from 1863 to 1914, within the framework of its privilege. The main reason behind this effort is to complete the patchy, or sometimes altogether missing, information available to this day. Indeed, even though some of the general features and figures of the bank's issue were already known, this information still remained extremely superficial. To give but one concrete example of the limits and superficiality of this knowledge, it should suffice to say that there was no clear information as to the exact dates and numbers of each issue. Figures and dates relating to the withdrawal, cancellation and incineration of these banknotes were even harder to come by. In short, it was clear that the only source likely to bring some clarity to the matter was the bank's own records. The Ottoman Bank historical research project, initiated in 1997 with the collaboration of the Ottoman Bank and the Economic and Social History Foundation of Turkey, made it possible to unearth, one after the other, all the documents relating to the Imperial Ottoman Bank's role as a bank of issue. Today, it is possible to study in great detail every single issue of the bank, to the point of following the fate of an individual banknote from issue to cancellation and to incineration. This book consists, therefore, of a systematic presentation of these sources and of the information that can be derived from them.

2010New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. [10], [iv], 440-767 pp. Color ills. The 2nd volume of "History of Ottoman Coins" focuses on and examines the coins of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. The basic difference between our 1st and 2nd volume is that the former reflects the economical life of the first 150 establishment years of the Ottoman Empire, while the latter reflects the economical life of later years; that is, after the State turns into an Empire. The variations in the monetary units, which had initiated with Sultan Selim the Grim but was not properly settled due to the Sultan's short reign, was satisfactorily applied during the reign of Sultan Suleyman. Consequently, the 2nd volume of our book, which is solely dedicated to the coins of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, explains all about the changes and innovations in the monetary system of his reign. This 2nd volume of the book intended to be completed in 8 volumes, provides detailed information on Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent's Chronological history Historical milestones and Coins of his 46-years reign The volume comprises photos related to the 700 golden and silver coins struck during Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent's reign, provides regional historical background of the 63 cities the coins were issued, and examines in detail the features of the coins minted in those cities.
2011New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. [10], [vii], 769-1111 pp. Color ills. The 3rd volume of the book "History of Ottoman Coins" studies in detail the coins of Sultan Selim II and Sultan Murad III. As of mid 16th century, the Ottoman Empire, which had successfully completed its establishment and had turned into an Empire encompassing three continents, had not been able to develop an internally consistent economical structure. In 1566 (H974), when Sultan Selim II acceded to the throne, the Empire was facing various difficulties disturbing the peace in both the Anatolian and Rumelia communities. On top of all these problems, the expenditures spent for the interminable western and eastern wars, laid during the second half of the 16th century, culminated in an irresolvable situation in the existing economic constriction. Devaluating akches was the only solution for the desperate government. The 3rd volume of our book studies the coins struck by the Empire under prevailing conditions. This volume of the book, expected to be completed in 9 volumes, gives useful information on Sultan Selim II and Sultan Murad III, conveying Chronological events of their 29 years reign Major historical milestones in their reign Coins of the Sultans explained in detail The volume includes the pictures of 200 silver and gold coins of Sultan Selim II and 350 coins of Sultan Murad III. Furthermore, this section comprises also the regional history related to the 60 cities striking this epoch's Ottoman coins, describing the characteristics of the coins struck in those cities. The last section of the book depicts a coin inventory related to the Sultans.

The 4th volume of the book "History of Ottoman Coins" studies in detail the coins of Sultan Mehmed III and Sultan Ahmed I. Under the influence of the military, economic and social structure, the Ottoman money system naturally moved towards a new process by the end of the 16th century. This process lasted approximately one hundred years during the 1600s and struck a heavy blow to the Ottoman financial structure. The Ottoman mines, which were unable to compete with the cheap silver ore that Europe obtained from America, began to shut down one after another. This was followed by the shutdown of mints. Thus, the coins of Mehmed III and Ahmed I, the early sultans of this period, were struck under these difficult conditions. This volume of the book, expected to be completed in 9 volumes, gives useful information on Sultan Mehmed III and Sultan Ahmed I, conveying Chronological events of their 22 years reign Major historical milestones in their reign Coins of the Sultans explained in detail The volume includes the pictures of 270 silver and gold coins of Sultan Mehmed III and 200 coins of Sultan Ahmed I. Furthermore, this section comprises also the regional history related to the 40 cities striking this epoch's Ottoman coins, describing the characteristics of the coins struck in those cities. The last section of the book depicts a coin inventory related to the Sultans.
2012New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. 420 p. Color ills. Ottoman Sultans: Mustafa I-Osman II-Murad IV-Ibrahim-Mehmed IV. From the end of the sixteenth century onwards, various administrative, military, industrial, commercial, financial and social developments, which occurred within the boundaries of the Ottoman state and throughout the world, were instrumental in exacerbating the economic problems of the Ottoman Empire.

From the end of the sixteenth century onwards, various administrative, military, industrial, commercial, financial and social developments, which occurred within the boundaries of the Ottoman state and throughout the world, were instrumental in exacerbating the economic problems of the Ottoman Empire.These developments which greatly affected coin minting can be summarized briefly as follows:The silver crisis that emerged due to the closure of the silver mines in the 17th century in the Ottoman Empire was also a factor causing the collapse of the Ottoman monetary system. The standards of the coins produced at the mints outside of Istanbul started to degrade and the state was not able to inspect the fineness and measures of the coins due to the weakness of the central authority. The state which could not control the mints under these difficult circumstances ended the operations of many of them. While the number of mints producing coins had been above 50 at the beginning of the century, as of the mid-17th century the number of active mints came down to less than 10 as indicated in the list below.The present volume of this work, which is expected to be completed in nine volumes, covers the reigns of sultans Mustafa I, Osman II, Murad IV, Ibrahim and Mehmed IV, and contains:Year-by-year chronological information regarding the 67 years of these sultanates; the most significant historical developments of this period; detailed information on coins. This volume includes the details of 28 coins of Sultan Suleyman II, 18 coins of Sultan Ahmed II, 104 coins of Sultan Mustafa II, 346 coins of Sultan Ahmed III and 335 coins of Sultan Mahmud I; i.e. 831 gold and silver coins. Additionally, the book provides the local history of nearly 50 provinces which issued coins during these reigns and examines the characteristics of the coins minted in these provinces.An inventory of the coins belonging to the sultans is provided at the end of the book.
2013New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. 420 p. Color ills. Ottoman Sultans: Osman III - Mustafa III - Abdülhamid I - Selim III - Mustafa IV. The Ottoman Empire was endowed with the power of creating one of the most extensive numismatic histories of the world by having coins minted at more than 130 mints as of the 14th century. However, the fact that the Ottoman coins had presence in very few mints whose collective number did not exceed the number of fingers in one hand as of the mid-18th century is the most obvious indicator of the crucial changes in the Ottoman history and economy. These developments which greatly affected coin minting can be summarized briefly as follows: The provinces, where gold or silver coins were minted in addition to Istanbul, were limited with Baghdad, Algeria, Egypt, Tripoli and Tunisia from the enthronement of Sultan Osman III, the 25th Ottoman sultan, to the end of the Empire. Two common features catch the eye when we analyze the history of these provinces that were very critical for the Ottoman Empire. The present volume of this work, which is expected to be completed in nine volumes, covers the reigns of sultans Osman III, Mustafa III, Abdulhamid I, Selim III and Mustafa IV, and contains: Year-by-year chronological information regarding the 54 years of these sultanates; The most significant historical developments of this period; Detailed information on coins. This volume includes the details of 71 coins of Sultan Osman III, 460 coins of Sultan Mustafa III, 401 coins of Sultan Abdulhamid I, 409 coins of Sultan Selim III and 56 coins of Sultan Mustafa IV; i.e. 1478 gold and silver coins. Additionally, the book provides the local history of all provinces which issued coins during these reigns and examines the characteristics of the coins minted in these provinces. An inventory of the coins belonging to the sultans is provided at the end of the book.
