Commentary


Ce type semble plus ancien et appartiendrait aux premières émissions de la série pour la cité. Semble de même coin de revers que l’exemplaire de la collection von Aulock (SNG. Aulock, n° 6832, pl. 235) tandis que le droit est proche de l’exemplaire de la même collection (n° 6831).

Historical background


PAPHLAGONIA - SINOPE

(415-365 BC)

Sinope, a colony of Miletus, was founded in the 7th century BC. Located on the northern coast of Pont-Euxin, a maritime city, it was one of the most important ports in the region. The introduction of the new type with the head of the nymph Sinope corresponds to the installation of the democratic regime in Sinope in 453 BC by the Athenians. The satrap Datames seized Sinope around 375 BC.
