Byzantine Coins in Canakkale Museum
Research into the Early Christian and Byzantine Periods on the Valleys that Reached the Hellespont
Introduction
This book prepared on Byzantine Coins of Çanakkale Museum includes an evaluation of the coins documented.
Geographic Significance
Covering the Hellespont, the ancient name of the narrow passage between the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara, it is a significant geographic location in the production-consumption and shopping relationships between these two regions as well as between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean regions at the long distance in the Byzantine Period.
Historical Importance
Written data indicate that this location maintained its importance in the early, middle, and late phases of the Byzantine Period.
Research and Excavations
Due to a paucity of archaeological research on the upper and middle sections of the strait, a project on the Hellespont was set up in 2004. Archaeological surveys were conducted in the lower, middle, and upper parts of the strait and in the Gulf of Saros, where data from the Byzantine period are scarce.
Artifact Evaluation
In parallel with these studies, the Byzantine period artifacts in the Çanakkale Archaeological Museum were also evaluated.
