In this section you will see the pictures of
484 coins of Seljuqs of Rum (Seljuqs
of Anatolia, Anatolian Seljuqs). Seljuqs can be spelled as "Seljuks"
too. Seljuqs of Rum is a branch of Great Seljuqs of Iran who are the Turks
migrated from Central Asia. Following the battle and victory of Alp-Arslan
at Manzikert (1071) , against Byzantine emperor Ramonus IV Diogenes, Seljuqs, step by step, took
control of
Anatolia (Asia Minor) (Rum: means Roma, Byzantine Empire). The dynasty of
Seljuqs of Rum is established by Sulayman, the son of Qutalmish, in Iznik (Nicaea).
Afterwards the capital moved to Konya. They lived their most glamorous time during the reign of Ala ad-Din Kay-Kubadh I.
By this time Seljuqs
of Rum emerged as one of the most important Muslim states of age. After Kay-Khusraw
II was defeated by the Mongol commander Bayju at Köse Dag (1243), the Sultanate
of Anatolian Seljuqs entered in a period of decline. But, nevertheless, the
sovereignty survived till 1318, the reign of Qilich Arslan V. Following the
demolition of the last Seljuq dynasty, the way was opened for
Anatolian Beyliks to come to the stage. If you look for a more
comprehensive history you may refer to my history pages, as
Turkish.
