As it is known, although Akşehir is a county, it is an important settlement in Anatolia with regard to policy, economy, and strategy. There were also intensive activities during the National Struggle in Akşehir. It cannot be said that sufficient studies have been done on Akşehir, one of the important centres of Western front during the Turkish-Greek War. In this study, the relevant documents in the archives and other sources were scanned in order to determine the place of Akşehir in the National Struggle. Thanks to the field research method, some recollections were added to the literature and Vefayata Mahsus Vukuat Defterleri (The registers of the events related with the dead) were scanned and detailed information about the martyrs from Akşehir were brought to the light.

XV-XVI. CENTURY AKŞEHİR MIGRATIONS ABSTRACT The phenomenon of migration that started with the existence of human beings has formed in Akşehir and its environs in 15-16th century is based on two main characters: mass and individual. Individual migrations have also been manifested in four sub-groups: city to city, city to village, village to city, and village to village. Since arrivals, departures and settlements of nomadic groups take place in the countryside within or outside of the sanjak, their movements were also evaluated in the last two groups. The first mass exodus was made by exile to Trabzon, Istanbul and Rumelia after 1466, the second one was made to Cyprus in 1572 with the same method. While in the first one, the establishment of Ottoman domination in the region and the acceleration of the Ottomanization process were requested, in the second, it was aimed to strengthen the island of Cyprus with secure elements and to turn it into a homeland as soon as possible. These two waves of migration were essentially imperative and it had a character from the inside out. Individual migrations were more prevalent than mass migrations and could be followed at any period between 1466-1584. In this period with the movements of nomadic groups, migrants came forward from the village to the city and from the village to the village. Nomadics are seen as either excluding groups, which are members of different administrative and economic units, or retail settlements in various villages, while land is the center of the journey from village to town and from village to village. All of the settlers in Akşehir are landless peasants with the status of caba and bennak. Also, people who immigrated from village to village are those who cannot find land or want to cultivate more land where they live. From this point of view, it can be said that mass migrations in Akşehir are carried out by state force and individual migrations are done by people’s own will. While in the first, the priorities of the central government came to fore, in the other, it is seen that the concerns such as the livelihoods of individuals and a better future are highlighted. Since such issues as livelihood, security and a better future constitute the most natural expectations of every human being, such migration movements have been seen in every period and it will continue to seen.

Abstract In 2021, 30 gold coins/solidi that had been discovered in Alaşehir, Turkey and entered the coin inventory of Manisa Museum. These 30 solidi from the Early Byzantine period were issued during the reigns of three emperors between the mid- 6th century and the beginning of the 7th century, with one dating to the reign of Iustinos II (565-578), one dating to the reign of Tiberius II (578-582), and 28 dating to the reign of Mauricius Tiberius (582-602). Minted during the reigns of the three emperors, who chronologically succeeded one another, the coins were handed over to the museum as one group. In this study, the solidi are classified according to the period in which they entered circulation and to their mints and officinae/ateliers and are assessed based on the stylistic designs on their front and back sides. One of the solidi included in the hoard of gold coins has a siglon with S officina on its backside, a type never seen before. Considering the chronological integrity of these coins, it was decided that they could be evaluated as a group of findings. This study proposes that the 30 gold coins registered in the inventory of the coin section at the Manisa Museum can be identified as the “Hoard of Alaşehir”. The gold coins will be introduced within the scope of the political background corresponding to the period in which they were issued. Keywords: Siglon, Coin, Solidus, The Hoard, Byzantine Empire.
