Pausanias’a göre Asklepios kültü Smyrna’ya
Pergamon’dan getirilmişti ve onun zamanında Smyrna’da deniz kenarında bir
Asklepieion bulunuyordu. Ömrünün uzun bir kısmını kentte geçiren ünlü hatip Aelius
Aristides de, en sık başvurduğu tanrılardan biri olan Asklepios’un Smyrna’daki
tapınağından söz eder. Gerçekten de gerek antik kaynaklara gerekse epigrafik
buluntulara bakılacak olursa kentteki önemli kültlerden birisi de tıp ve sağlık
tanrısı Asklepios kültüdür. Nitekim, son yıllarda Smyrna Agorası’nda ve
Bayraklı’daki Eski Smyrna kazılarında da Asklepios kültü ya da sağlıkla
ilişkili önemli veriler açığa çıkarılmıştır. Bu çalışmada kentteki Asklepios
kültüne ilişkin eski bilgiler, Eski ve Yeni Smyrna kazılarında ortaya çıkarılan
arkeolojik veriler ışığında değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.
According to Pausanias cult of Asklepios has been brought to Smyrna from Pergamon and an Asklepieion was founded near the sea in the city. Famous orator Aelius Aristides who spent most of his time in the city also mentions the Temple of Asklepios, one of the gods he consulted the most. According to literary and epigraphic sources one of the most important cults in the city is of Asklepios, God of medicine and health. During recent years important findings related to the cult of Asklepios or health has been recovered from the excavations in the Agora of Smyrna and Palaia Smyrna in Bayraklı. In this study our knowledge of the Cult of Asklepios will be re-evaluated in the light of archaeological evidence recovered from the excavations at Palaia and Nea Smyrna.
