Julia-Ipsus and Augustopolis

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 September 2012

Extract

The following pages contain the results, not devoid of interest, if meagre in quantity, of various short visits to the valley of the Caystrus in Central Phrygia, and to the hills which bound it on the north and south. This valley formed the meeting-place of five great Anatolian roads, the northern and central trade-routes from the east, the highways to the west coast down the Maeander valley or past Akmonia or Eucarpia and Sardis, and the road to the Bosporus by way of Dorylaeum. Naturally therefore the valley of the Caystrus was traversed by many generals or governors or other persons known to history, and, little as history has recorded of the state of the valley at different periods, enough has been gleaned from various writers to enable us to fix the main features of its ancient topography. It was traversed from west to east by Cyrus the Younger and Xenophon in 401 B.C. Alexander the Great crossed it from south to north on his way from Celaenae to Gordium in 333 B.C. The battle of Ipsus was fought somewhere near its eastern end in 301 B.C. The plunder-laden army of Cn. Manlius Vulso moved slowly over it, proceeding northwards, in 191 B.C. Cicero travelled through it on his way from Synnada to Philomelium in 51 B.C. To cut short a long list, this valley was the scene of a fierce battle between the emperor Alexius I and the Turks in A.D. 1116; the account given by Anna Comnena of this campaign is the fullest record we possess on the ancient topography of the Caystrus valley, and it throws some light on places in the hills to the north.

page 238 note 1 Among the more recent explorers who have examined parts of it are Ramsay (Ath. Mitth. 1882, p. 126, ff. and J.H.S. 1887, p. 482, ff.), Hogarth (J.H.S. 1890, pp. 152, 160) and Anderson (Annual of the B.S.A. 1897–8, p. 49, and J.H.S. 1898, p. 110). The present paper owes much and adds confirmation to the work of those scholars.

In 1908 I travelled from Bayat past Tchoghu to Bolavadin and Ishakli; in 1910 from the north side of the Eber Göl to Bolavadin and Tshai. In 1911 Sir W. M. Ramsay and I visited Tshai, the neighbourhood of Bolavadin, Hamidieh, Felleli, and Tshobanlar. In 1912 I passed through Tshai, Innli and Ishekler (on the south), Surmeneh, Felleli, Gunuk, Bayat, Tchoghu, Bolavadin, Afium Kara Hissar. Besides the inscriptions given in this paper, I found two new neo-Phrygian inscriptions, and made more complete copies of many of the older ones.

page 247 note 3 Those who hold that the epitaph is Christian welcome every scrap of evidence which can be made to show that its language was the language which might have been used by a Phrygian pagan in the latter half of the second century of our era. The fact that scholars of the standing of Dietench and Hepding have taken the inscription to be pagan is a subtle compliment to the success with which its composer veiled his religion.

page 264 note 1 Rostowzew, Staatspacht, p. 161. After I had observed this parallel, I was glad to find that Rostowzew has used it in a similar way in his discussion of the estate which became the city Pogla (Oest. Jahresh. 1901, Beibl. col. 41). In his great work, Studien zur Gesch. des röm. Kolonates, p. 143, n. Rostowzew doubts if ἀρχιγϵωργōἰ was used in this sense. Wilcken has an excursus on the ὁμόλōγōι in the same work, p. 220, ff. See also de Zulueta in Vinogradoffs Oxford Studies, i, 51. The subject is obscure, and the analogy must not be pressed.
