Öz: Kuzey Lydia’daki, güneydoğusunda Sardeis, kuzeybatısında ise Pergamon kentleri arasında bulunan Lykos (Gördük Çayı) Vadisi’nin kentleşme tarihi cevaplanmamış birçok soruyu beraberinde getirir. Bu makale, bölgenin ve buradaki küçük ölçekli bir kent olan Apollonis’in Akhamenid Dönemi’nden Geç Roma’ya kadar izlediği kentleşme sürecine tarihsel veriler ve yazıtlar ışığında odaklanacak, özellikle de Hellenistik Dönem’e vurgu yaparak, bölgenin bu dönemde Attalidler ve Seleukoslar arasında neden ve nasıl bir güç çekişmesine sahne olduğunu inceleyecektir. Apollonis’e yoğunlaşılmasının sebebi, burada sistematik yüzey araştırması veya kazı yapılmamış olmasının yanı sıra, burası gibi ana yolların dışında ve kırsalda kalmış olan kentlerin bile Hellenistik kentleşme politikalarına sahne olmasının sebeplerinin sorgulanması gerekliliğidir. Bununla birlikte, bölgedeki yazıtlardan bilinen, ancak yerleri kesin olarak anlaşılamamış yerleşmelerin varlığına dikkat çekilerek, yüzey araştırması veya kazı çalışmalarından çıkabilecek muhtemel sonuçlara değinilecektir.

Abstract: This article focuses on the historical geography of Lycus Valley (Gorduk) in western Asia Minor that lies in between Sardis in its southeast and Pergamon in the northwest. The article aims to discuss the history of urbanization in the area ― especially the small settlement of Apollonis ― from the Achaemenid through the Late Roman periods. Particular attention is given to the Hellenistic period, when the area perpetually changed hands between the Attalid and Seleucid Kingdoms. The reason why the article focuses on the site of Apollonis is not only because this site has so far been little studied, but there is also the need to explore the reasons why such small sites that are not necessarily on the main routes came to be a subject of urbanism policies of the Hellenistic Kingdoms. Further archaeological research in the area would confirm the location of settlements known from inscriptions, and illuminate the strategic importance of the region, especially for the Hellenistic kingdoms.
