Decimus Magnus Ausonius who lived in the IVth century A.D., was an important character who observed the western part of the Roman Empire and was one of its most important poets. One of the most important factors in his life was that he was a poet and also tutor of an emperor, who earned a magnificent reputation and was a very successful statesman. The Ordo Urbium Nobilium, one of his works which he wrote during the last period of his life as a poet, contains very important information concerning the world of Late Antiquity. This work was also used as a course book in various universities’ lessons, such as in geography and the Latin language within the context of education. For this reason, many studies have been conducted into his work and much research has been completed. The subject examined in this article is an assessment of the content and scope of Ausonius’ Ordo Urbium Nobilium. In this context, firstly, the cities mentioned in the poetry are analyzed through the features they are characterised by in the poetry, and Ausonius’ personal and his public relations with these cities are enquired into, while the geographical, historical, political and cultural characteristics of the cities are also examined.

Ordo Urbium Nobilium: İçerik ve Kapsam

Öz

MS IV. yüzyılda yaşayan Decimus Magnus Au-sonius, Roma İmparatorluğu’nun özellikle batı yakasını yakından tanıyan önemli bir alim ve devlet adamıydı. Onu mühim biri haline getiren en önemli husus; çeşitli bilimler özelindeki bilgi birikiminin derinliği yanında başarılı bir eğitmen olmasıydı. Ayrıca, son derece stratejik mevkilere erişebilmiş bir devlet adamıydı. Yaşamının son yıllarında kaleme aldığı şiirlerinden olan Ordo Urbium Nobilium, Geç Antikçağ dünyasına dair önemli veriler içermektedir. Bu kapsamda, söz konusu çalışma kendisinin özellikle coğrafya, tarih, filoloji ve Latin edebiyatı-kültürü gibi çeşitli alanlarda Geç Antikçağ eğitim kurumlarının ders içeriğine dâhil edilmiş şiirini konu edinmektedir. Öyle ki, Ortaçağdan günümüze değin Ausonius’un neredeyse her eseri hakkında yüzlerce çalışma gerçekleştirilmiş ve bir çoğu da hala yayımlanmayı beklemektedir. Bu makalenin kurgusu da; Ausonius’un Ordo Urbium Nobilium başlıklı şiirinin içeriğinin ve kapsamının değerlen-dirilmesine odaklanmaktadır. Bu değerlendirme bağlamında öncelikle şiirde bahsi geçen kentler, şiir içerisinde aktarılan özellikleriyle incelenmekte, ayrıca Ausonius’un bu yerleşim birimleriyle şahsi ve resmi münasabetlerinin eserindeki yansıması irdelenmektedir.
