Abstract (EN)

Pisidia Region, now known as the Lakes Region or the Lakes Region, passes between the Taurus Mountains, which surround Pamphylia on the plain north of Mare Pamphylium (Mediterranean Bay) with the land of Milyas, and between Anaua Lacus (Acı Tuz Gölü) and Askania Lacus (Burdur Lake). It is surrounded by the Sultan Mountains, which are connected vertically with the extensions of the Söğüt Mountains. From the southeast of Karalis Lacus (Beyşehir Lake) to the upper and middle paths of the Melas Çayı (Manavgat River), the hills form the eastern border. Our study includes descriptions of weapons depicted on the grave stele, sarcophagus and ostothek located within the boundaries of Pisidia Region. The geography, road map, important cities of the region and the necropolis areas of these cities are examined; based on academic studies and scientific excavations, a framework will be determined and an idea will be obtained about the tomb structure and descriptions of the region. In this context, the aim is to reach a common ground and consensus on the subject by taking the studies, field survey and surveys into consideration in the light of the available data. Pisidia Region; burial traditions and necropolis areas, the types of graves using weapon depictions, ostothek, sarcophagus and grave steles, the origin of these data and the first examples are investigated by examining the samples of Phrygia, Pamphylia, Lykia, Ikonia, Isaura and Macedonian trying to establish an anology. Descriptions of weapons depicted on the grave steles, ostothek and sarcophagus of the Pisidia Region; and whether there are any weapons of attack and defense in itself will be investigated. In this process, the relationship between ethnic identity and depictions will be evaluated according to an iconographic aspect.
