Historical background
THRACE - ISTROS
(6th - 5th century BC)
Istros (Istrus), a Milesian colony, located equidistant from Callatis and the mouths of the Danube, is in Lower Moesia. The Greek name gave its Latin name to the Danube. The two juvenile heads, comparable to the Dioscuri (Gemini) which appear on the drachmas, represent the mouths of the Danube.
