The inventory contains       records of 271 new hoards or re-evaluations of old ones, and provides an       indispensable supplement to the \u003ci\u003eInventory of Greek Coin Hoards\u003c\/i\u003e       and previous volumes of \u003ci\u003eCoin Hoards\u003c\/i\u003e. The volume includes many       hitherto unrecorded hoards from the early 5th century BC to the 6th       century AD. The majority of them were recently acquired by museums in       Simferopol, Kerch, Tman, Phanagoria, Temryuk, Anapa, Krasnodar,       Novorossiysk, Moscow and St Petersburg from the archaeological missions       which had conducted wide-scale excavations in the Krasnodar region and       the eastern Crimea. Among the significant  recent finds are large hoards       of Late Archaic silver coins and Late Bosporan staters from Phanagoria,       as well as a group of purses from Mithradates VI's residence there,       burnt in 63 BC; a Myrmicium hoard of Cyzicenes; big hoards of Bosporan       gold staters from the Taman Peninsula; huge hoards of 3rd-century BC       bronze coins (more than 21000 pieces) and coins of the Mithradatic       period (15000 and 8000 coins) from the Asiatic Bosporus; and a group of       hoards from Mithradates III's fortress in Parosta, a small Bosporan       city, which met its end during the Roman-Bosporan War of AD 45-49, etc.       Nine notes are devoted to brief publication of a group of the most       significant new hoards, related mostly to Phanagoria and the Asiatic       Bosporus. Huge Phanagorian hoards of the early 1st century BC are of       special interest, containing coins of Euboea, Delos and Crete, the       Pontus, western and southern Anatolia and the adjacent islands. These       non-native coins are exceptional finds for the Cimmerian Bosporus, as       well as in the numismatic profile of the northern Black Sea region as a       whole. The distant coins form evidence for the voyages of Phanagorian       merchantmen to the eastern Mediterranean - to Hierapytna and Patara.       These studies significantly expand our understanding of the Bosporan       coinage and Greek economy of this period. The volume is accompanied by       311 plates.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171333914998,"sku":"9789042944695","price":184.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30235760.jpg?v=1737420397","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042944695-coin-hoards-volume-xi-greek-hoards-the-cimmerian-bosporus","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
