Turkey 10 The Yavuz Tatış Collection Part 1 Ionia and Lydia
Author: Oguz Tekin
xiv, 127 pp, 58 plates with 931 coins, hb, in English
This catalogue is the tenth volume of the SNG Turkey Project and covers the Ionian and Lydian coins in the collection of Yavuz Tatış, a businessman and collector living in Izmir (ancient Smyrna). Majority of the coins were acquired from 1993 when Tatış started to form his collection and continued until 2010. It is inferred from the information given by vendors that the provenance of the coins was western Asia Minor in general. The catalogue presents 931 coins dating from Archaic to Roman Imperial period and the most represented ones are from Smyrna, Ephesus, Colophon, Phocaea, Magnesia ad Maeandrum, Miletus and Clazomenae in Ionia and Sardis, Philadelphia, Thyateira, Hypaipa and Magnesia ad Sipylum in Lydia. The unidentified coins are grouped under the title of “Uncertain Western Asia Minor” at the end of the catalogue
