Abstract

Perikle is a Lycian Prince. In order to clarify the political movements of his time, important individuals such as Trbbenimi, Arttum̃para, Mithrapata and Aruwãtijesi who are his contemporaries also examined. In this context, the status of the Treasure of Podalia is examined and the historic victory and its parties against Arttum̃para and his allies, leading to the Lycian kingdom and Perikle elucidated by taking the Tebursseli Tomb inscription in Limyra into consideration and the war is dated 370/365 BC. Accordingly, it is suggested that before the war, Perikle's borders covered Limyra and its immediate vicinity. With the war, Telmessos was captured and Mithrapata and Aruwãtijesi, which could be the allies of Arttum̃para, were eliminated and the obstacles before Perikle removed and firstly Milyas region was captured. Additionally, After the withdrawal of Mithrapata ve Aruwãtijesi's hegemony in Upper Olympos and its vicinity which can be a dynastic period settlement in terms of Mithrapata ve Aruwãtijesi (Mount Musa?) Treasury, the obstacle eliminated and therefore Perikle may have laid siege to Phaselis.
