Lykaonia Koinon Tarihi Ve Sikkeleri
Coins and History of Lykaonia Koınon

Summary/Abstract: Lykaonia covering the majority of today’s Konya and Karaman cities is the name of the ancient region in Central Anatolia. Due to its geographical location, it is located at the intersection of the roads from north to south, from east to west. The Lykaonia region, which is a continuous settlement area from the Neolithic Period to the Antique Age, it needs different administrative structures every period. One of these, under Antonius Pius’s administration, the southern borders of Lykaonia were separated and combined with Isauria and Cilicia region. The Koinon structure was probably an administrative system that came together to form a defensive structure against the Part threat. Thus, we understand this situation from the words "Lykaonia Koinon" on the Derbe, Barata, Ilistra, Dalisandos and Laranda coins from Antonius Pius to Philippus Arabs (AD 244-249). The main theme of our work is to convey precise and accurate information about the cult status of the cities that have coin oppression, worshiped gods and goddesses, sacred animals, mythological stories and heroes, emperors visiting the city.
