AIZANOI KAZISINDAN BİR GRUP SALDIRI VE SAVUNMA EKİPMANI

The history of Aizanoi dates back to the Middle Paleolithic Age, according to data obtained from the Temple plateau. Thanks to the findings found around the Temple, it was determined that the city was inhabited by the Phrygians, and then it was determined that the city was inhabited in the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods respectively. Most of the architectural activities in the city were carried out during the Roman Period. In addition, the city made great strides during this period and managed to reach an important position among the cities of the Phrygia Region. During the Byzantine Period, especially the Temple of Zeus, Theatre-Stadion complex, Bath-Palaestra, Mosaic Bath were used for different functions and a Street with Columns was built. During the examinations carried out in the city, 12 arrowheads, 2 spearheads, 1 pilum and 1 umbo were identified, most of which date back to the Middle and Late Byzantine Period. These findings were mostly unearthed from the Temple of Zeus and the Theater-Stadion complex. The city and its surroundings were constantly located at the crossing point of the Byzantine and Seljuk armies, and this was somehow reflected in the findings of the city.
