In 1972 a hoard of eight fine silver coins was discovered in or near the baptistery of the basilica of St John in Ayasuluk. It is now conserved at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum in Selçuk. The coins were minted in southern France, southern Italy and on the island of Rhodes, between ca AD 1303 and 1319 or perhaps a little later. Accordingly, a concealment date of ca 1320 or a bit later is proposed. While the currency which they represent (the gigliato) is well known from other finds of the area, the present hoard is relatively early and from a particularly significant location. This currency found great success in commercial contexts in the eastern Aegean and western Anatolia during the period ca 1325 to ca 1370. By contrast, this study reveals two initial phases in the establishment and further dissemination of the gigliato in a concentrated part of western Anatolia, one in 1304 and another before and after ca 1317. On both occasions the Catalans were instrumental in shaping these processes: initially as conquerors on behalf of the Byzantine emperors and then, from their new base in Greece, as allies of the Aydinogullari rulers of Ayasuluk. Additionally, it is proposed that this new gigliato currency might have been minted at Rhodes from the summer of 1319, after which it rapidly reached the Ephesus area in a military context.

14 世纪早期安纳托利亚西部，来自阿亚苏鲁克的硬币囤积和来自地中海欧洲的银色 gigliati 的到来

1972 年，在阿亚苏鲁克的圣约翰大教堂洗礼堂内或附近发现了八枚精美银币。它现在保存在塞尔丘克的以弗所考古博物馆。这些硬币是在公元 1303 年至 1319 年之间或稍晚一点的时间在法国南部、意大利南部和罗德岛铸造的。因此，建议隐匿日期大约为 1320 年或更晚。虽然它们所代表的货币（gigliato）在该地区的其他发现中是众所周知的，但目前的囤积相对较早，并且来自一个特别重要的位置。在大约 1325 年至大约 1370 年期间，这种货币在爱琴海东部和安纳托利亚西部的商业环境中取得了巨大成功。相比之下，这项研究揭示了 gigliato 在安纳托利亚西部集中地区的建立和进一步传播的两个初始阶段，一个是在 1304 年，另一个是在 1317 年前后。在这两种情况下，加泰罗尼亚人都在塑造这些过程中发挥了重要作用：最初是作为征服者在代表拜占庭皇帝，然后，从他们在希腊的新基地，成为阿亚苏鲁克的艾迪诺古拉里统治者的盟友。此外，有人提出这种新的 gigliato 货币可能是从 1319 年夏天在罗得岛铸造的，之后它在军事背景下迅速到达以弗所地区。作为 Ayasuluk 的 Aydinogullari 统治者的盟友，来自他们在希腊的新基地。此外，有人提出这种新的 gigliato 货币可能是从 1319 年夏天在罗得岛铸造的，之后它在军事背景下迅速到达以弗所地区。作为 Ayasuluk 的 Aydinogullari 统治者的盟友，来自他们在希腊的新基地。此外，有人提出这种新的 gigliato 货币可能是从 1319 年夏天在罗得岛铸造的，之后它在军事背景下迅速到达以弗所地区。
