The contributions of Oluz Höyük to the Iron Age of Halys Basin took a religious turn including its cultural, historical and military properties. The evidence and the small finds uncovered in 2B Architectural Layer (425-300 BC) and 2A Architectural Layer (300-200 BC) presents important data regarding the Early Zoroastrianism and the earlier periods of Cult of Fire, a topic where unknown data far surpasses what is known. The remains started to be uncovered by the discovery of Sacred Fire Pit is understood to belong to a Atashkadeh and a Sanctuary with the work of 2017. In this context the presence of a people in Oluz Höyük who worships or reveres fire, believes in the unity in god and does not care or believe in the figurines of deities is proven. It is understood that these people who concretized their beliefs by building a Atashkadeh, a Sanctuary and a sacred road (Persian Road) which leads to them between the years of 425-200 BC are Persian in origin and created one of the first communities of the Early Zoroastrianism. When the historical process of the Zoroastrianism has been taken into account, the fire burning and preserved outdoors in the earlier period (5th century BC) seems to be the central practice of the new religion which institutionalized in Oluz Höyük. In Oluz Höyük, the presence of the rituals and the practices which constituted the Early Zoroastrianism in the Early and Middle Achaemenid periods proves that North-Central Anatolia (Pontika Kappadokia) and Kappadokia should be evaluated in the sacred geography of Avesta.

THE COINS FOUND AT THE EXCAVATIONS OF AMASYA - OLUZ HÖYÜK BETWEEN 2009-2013. Oluz Höyük (Yassı Höyük - Tepetarla Höyüğü) is located on the western part of the city Amasya which is in the central Black Sea Region of Turkey. The mound lies on the fertile Geldingen plain, from the south of which an important tributary of the Yeşilırmak (ancient Iris), the Çekerek (ancient Skylaks) passes. During the archaeological excavations at Oluz Höyük which were carried under the direction of Prof. Dr. Şevket Dönmez between 2009-2013, 90 coins (one gold, five silvers, 84 bronzes) were discovered, dating from the last quarter of 4th century B.C. till 48 B.C. A great majority of the coins (70 of them) belong to the Hellenistic kingdoms: 13 Macedonian (Alexander the Great and Philippos III Arrhidaios), two Bithynian (Prusias II Cynegus) and 55 Pontic (Mithradates VI Eupator). The coins of the Macedonian Kingdom are the mints of the cities Amphipolis, Sardis, Colophon, Miletos/Mylasa and Salamis. Between the coins of the Pontic Kingdom, which were minted of bronze, the coins of Amisos constitues the largest group with 41 coins, while five coins of Amastris and only one coins of Sinope and Panticapion each were identified. Among the other 11 coins, three of them which are dated to the Roman republic period, give the names of Roman moneyers: Caius Curiatius filius Trigeminus (135 B.C.), C. Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus (88 B.C.) and Lucius Procilius filius (80 B.C.). The remaining eight coins which are dated to 2nd-1st centuries, are known to be minted in Apameia (Kelainai), Cyzicus and Sardis. All these numismatic materials add new information to the Hellenistic history of Oluz Höyük as well as Pontic Region.
