哈德里亚诺波利斯古城发现罗马时代的腓骨和带有“河神”图像的硬币

在位于卡拉布克埃斯基帕扎尔区的哈德里亚诺波利斯古城的发掘中，出土了罗马时代的腓骨（胸针）和一枚描绘“河神”图案的硬币。

Recent excavations in the ancient city of Hadrianopolis, situated within Karabuk’s Eskipazar district, have unearthed a Roman-era fibula (brooch) and a coin adorned with the “River God” motif. This discovery provides a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural fabric of a city that was inhabited during the Late Chalcolithic, Roman, and Early Byzantine periods.

最近在位于卡拉布克埃斯基帕扎尔区的哈德里亚诺波利斯古城进行的发掘工作中，出土了罗马时代的腓骨（胸针）和一枚饰有“河神”图案的硬币。这一发现让我们得以一睹这座铜器时代晚期、罗马时期和拜占庭早期时期所居住的城市丰富的文化结构。

The excavation site is part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s "Legacy to the Future" project and is being overseen by Karabuk University’s Faculty of Archaeology, led by associate professor Ersin Celikbas.

该发掘现场是文化和旅游部“未来遗产”项目的一部分，由卡拉布克大学考古学院副教授 Ersin Celikbas 负责监督。

The site has yielded remarkable structures, including two baths, two churches embellished with intricate mosaics, a defense structure, rock-cut tombs, and a collection of monumental buildings, collectively contributing to Hadrianopolis’s renowned status as “the Black Sea’s Zeugma.”

该遗址产生了非凡的建筑，包括两个浴室、两座装饰着复杂马赛克的教堂、一座防御结构、岩石切割的坟墓和一系列纪念性建筑，共同为哈德里亚诺波利斯赢得了“黑海宙格玛”的著名地位。

Among the recent discoveries are a fibula of the arbalest type, dating to the fifth century, and a coin from the second century that features an engraving of the “River God” and the inscription “Kezios.” This inscription identifies the coin as originating from Hadrianopolis and sheds light on the ancient name of the Eskipazar River.

最近的发现包括一个可追溯到五世纪的弩类型腓骨，以及一枚二世纪的硬币，上面刻有“河神”和铭文“Kezios”。该铭文表明该硬币源自哈德里亚诺波利斯，并揭示了埃斯基帕扎河的古名。

According to professor Celikbas, the presence of the coin in a tomb suggests that it may have been placed as a Charon coin, a symbolic payment to the ferryman of the dead, indicating the continuation of the Charon tradition in the Roman Empire during the second century.

根据塞利克巴斯教授的说法，坟墓中出现的这枚硬币表明它可能是作为卡戎硬币放置的，这是对死者摆渡人的象征性报酬，表明卡戎传统在二世纪罗马帝国的延续。

“This year, the findings have been significant,” said Celikbas, regarding the current excavation, which focused on the southern necropolis and an area designated as "SDJ-3."

“今年的发现意义重大，”塞利克巴斯在谈到当前的挖掘工作时说，该挖掘工作的重点是南部墓地和指定为“SDJ-3”的区域。

The southern necropolis has offered substantial insight into Roman-era burial customs, with discoveries ranging from the second-century coin to fifth-century artifacts.

南部墓地提供了对罗马时代埋葬习俗的深入了解，发现了从二世纪的硬币到五世纪的文物等各种物品。

“The discovery of a Charon coin in the tomb underscores the continuity of the ancient Roman tradition here, while findings of other artifacts show burial practices remained consistent for about 300 years,” remarked Celikbas.

“在坟墓中发现卡戎硬币强调了这里古罗马传统的连续性，而其他文物的发现表明，埋葬习俗在大约 300 年来一直保持不变，”塞利克巴斯说道。

The discovery also highlights Hadrianopolis’ role as a Roman military base in southern Paphlagonia. Artifacts like the fibula, a functional and decorative clasp used for clothing, serve to emphasize the dual aesthetic and practical purposes of such items in antiquity.

这一发现还凸显了哈德里亚诺波利斯作为帕夫拉戈尼亚南部罗马军事基地的作用。像腓骨这样的文物，一种用于服装的功能性和装饰性扣环，可以强调古代此类物品的双重审美和实用目的。

“These artifacts provide a profound understanding of the era’s culture, art, and religious beliefs, and we’re both surprised and thrilled by the findings,” added Celikbas.

“这些文物让我们对那个时代的文化、艺术和宗教信仰有了深刻的了解，我们对这些发现感到惊讶和兴奋，”塞利克巴斯补充道。

The presence of Roman relics in these burial sites suggests that Hadrianopolis may have functioned as a strategic military outpost in the region. Notably, the area is renowned for its unique rock-cut tombs and is currently the only ancient site in southern Paphlagonia where necropolis excavations are being conducted.

这些墓地中存在的罗马遗迹表明哈德里亚诺波利斯可能是该地区的战略军事前哨。值得注意的是，该地区以其独特的岩石墓葬而闻名，目前是帕夫拉戈尼亚南部唯一正在进行墓地挖掘的古代遗址。

The artifacts not only showcase Roman military influence but also suggest that soldiers were among those interred in the city’s extensive burial grounds.

这些文物不仅展示了罗马的军事影响力，还表明该市广阔的墓地中埋葬着士兵。

With each discovery, Hadrianopolis continues to unravel its role as a cultural and military stronghold within the Roman Empire, enriching Türkiye’s historical narrative with invaluable insights into ancient life and traditions.

随着每一项发现，哈德里亚诺波利斯继续揭示其作为罗马帝国文化和军事据点的作用，通过对古代生活和传统的宝贵见解丰富土耳其的历史叙述。
