Mint of Bosporos

c. 300 BC/BCE to 400 CE

The autonomous coinage of Gorgippia and Phanagoria, the chief cities (on the Asiatic side) of the district known as the Cimmerian Bosporus, bear a close resemblance, in both style and fabric, to the more recent issues of Panticapaeum on the European side of the Straits. The geographical arrangement adopted in the present work, and by all numis- matists, unfortunately necessitates the separation of the coins of the Asiatic from those of the European portion of the Bosporus.
