Cyzicus

Les monnaies grecques ont de tout temps été considérées comme les plus belles monnaies jamais produites. Evoquant Goethe, José Maria de Hérédia ou le Président Theodore Roosevelt, cette conférence s’interroge sur les raisons qui fondent ce sentiment. On évoquera le très haut relief, la diversité des types, la qualité de la gravure et l’adaptation à la petitesse du format. On traitera également de la beauté (fondée sur la symétrie) et du sublime (fondé sur la dissymétrie), avec une attention particulière pour les types représentés de trois quarts face et pour l’évolution du goût du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Platon, Longin, Raphael, Rubens, Winckelmann, Kant, Burke et Ruskin sont quelques-uns des grands noms évoqués à cette occasion.

This chapter provides a selective review of the numismatic evidence from the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods in Thrace, offering a point of departure for future study. The main denominations and issuing authorities of coins, which appeared in Thrace from the late sixth to late first centuries BCE, are summarized, with emphasis on the hoard evidence. The main historical and socio-cultural issues that have emerged from the nature of the coinage and the mechanisms of its circulation are considered. Thracian royal and tribal coinages are briefly outlined and depicted statistically in tables and charts. A plate with a selection of coins, tables of minting cities and kings in Thrace, and informative stemmata are provided to assist the reader.

Among all the hoards consisting the ceremonial akinakai, defining swords and daggers of Iranian origin), the assemblage of items discovered in 1882 near the Vettersfelde village (Poland) is the most reliable. Judging by the plots presented on the richly decorated golden objects in the animal style like a fish-shaped plaque, a clover-shaped phalera and a scabbard of a sword, they make up a unified ensemble, most likely made simultaneously in one workshop. The manufacture of treasure items from Vettersfelde is usually associated with the Milesian colonies of the Pontic region, while certain bilingualism is documented, allowing to use both Greek and barbaric expressive means. Most likely, the choice of metaphors for the narrative was not accidental and was recognized both by its performer and the recipient. If the localization of the treasure production is moved beyond the northern or western coast of the Black Sea, then it can be noted that the Milesian colonies of Eastern Greece can also claim the role of a workshop for Vettersfelde hoard. In particular, according to many parameters, Cyzicus is suitable.

This article features a full die-study of the series of electrum hectae hitherto attributed to Erythrae in Ionia. Based on various evidence, the series is re-attributed to Heraclea Pontica in Bithynia and dated to c. 530–495 (earlier groups) and c. 480–420 (later groups). The series is likely to have been minted by agreement with the Persian governor/satrap at Dascyleion. Therefore it sheds some light on both Persian politics before and around Dareios I's Scythian campaign and the electrum coinage of Heraclea's rival Cyzicus.

In 1964, the remains of a large house were discovered in the Israeli city of Beth-Shean/ Beth-Shan (also known as Scythopolis). Once excavated, the mid-5th century CE house was found to contain many interesting artifacts, but none as fascinating as a large, elaborate mosaic and two inscribed column lintels. The meanings of the words and images found in the mosaic have spawned several theories, but it is our contention that the theories about the inscriptions in the mosaic must be viewed in light of an intriguing inscription found on one of the column lintels. Unfortunately, of the two major studies published since the initial publication of the house's discovery, neither attempts to address the column lintels. The current article seeks to rectify this situation and reexamines the previous theories and the mosaic inscriptions in light of the inscription from one of the column lintels. The result is a series of conclusions that, it is hoped, help to clarify certain important points regarding the House of Leontis Kloubas.

THE COINS FOUND AT THE EXCAVATIONS OF AMASYA - OLUZ HÖYÜK BETWEEN 2009-2013.
Oluz Höyük (Yassı Höyük - Tepetarla Höyüğü) is located on the western part of the city Amasya which is in the central Black Sea Region of Turkey. The mound lies on the fertile Geldingen plain, from the south of which an important tributary of the Yeşilırmak (ancient Iris), the Çekerek (ancient Skylaks) passes.
During the archaeological excavations at Oluz Höyük which were carried under the direction of Prof. Dr. Şevket Dönmez between 2009-2013, 90 coins (one gold, five silvers, 84 bronzes) were discovered, dating from the last quarter of 4th century B.C. till 48 B.C. A great majority of the coins (70 of them) belong to the Hellenistic kingdoms: 13 Macedonian (Alexander the Great and Philippos III Arrhidaios), two Bithynian (Prusias II Cynegus) and 55 Pontic (Mithradates VI Eupator). The coins of the Macedonian Kingdom are the mints of the cities Amphipolis, Sardis, Colophon, Miletos/Mylasa and Salamis. Between the coins of the Pontic Kingdom, which were minted of bronze, the coins of Amisos constitues the largest group with 41 coins, while five coins of Amastris and only one coins of Sinope and Panticapion each were identified. Among the other 11 coins, three of them which are dated to the Roman republic period, give the names of Roman moneyers: Caius Curiatius filius Trigeminus (135 B.C.), C. Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus (88 B.C.) and Lucius Procilius filius (80 B.C.). The remaining eight coins which are dated to 2nd-1st centuries, are known to be minted in Apameia (Kelainai), Cyzicus and Sardis. All these numismatic materials add new information to the Hellenistic history of Oluz Höyük as well as Pontic Region.

Toute lacunaire qu'elle demeure 2 , l'histoire de Cyzique à l'époque de l'hégémonie romaine laisse entrevoir certains éléments de continuité. En dépit de la forte activité sismique du Nord de l'Asie Mineure, dont on sait qu'elle affecta directement la cité en 123 et en 161 apr. J.-C., l'image de Cyzique est d'abord celle d'une ville brillante et prospère, comparée aux plus grandes métropoles du bassin méditerranéen par les auteurs antiques 3 . Après avoir écrit que « la ville est digne de rivaliser avec les plus importantes des cités d'Asie par sa grandeur et sa beauté 4 », Strabon n'hésite pas à confronter son modèle d'aménagement à ceux de Rhodes, de Massalia et de l'ancienne Carthage. Dans le Panégyrique à Cyzique en l'honneur du temple, prononcé en 166/7, quelques années seulement après le séisme, Aelius Aristide vante lui aussi la splendeur des monuments publics de la cité comme la qualité de son urbanisme et la richesse de son territoire 5 . À l'époque sévérienne, Dion Cassius décrit encore son temple d'Hadrien comme « le plus grand et le plus beau de tous 6 ».

Su una moneta in elettro coniata a Cizico nella seconda metà del V secolo a.C., apparsa da poco sul mercato collezionistico, è raffigurato un uomo in armi, probabilmente un generale che tiene un discorso alle sue truppe (adlocutio). In questo articolo si propone di identificare l'uomo in armi raffigurato sulla moneta con il generale ateniese Alcibiade.

The study is on the phiale with the medallion from Tomb No. 2 in the
Mogilanska Mogila tumulus, placed in the context of the three cups bearing inscriptions
from the same find. In the museum in the town of Vratsa there is an instrument
shaped like a truncated cone, on the basis of which a female profile to the right is
depicted in low relief. It can be noted that the image on the seal is highly similar to
that on the medallion of the silver phiale. A very close parallel is found in the images
on coins of one of the most important ancient cities in Asia Minor – Cyzicus, as well
as on coins from Lampsacus. The questions are focused on the possibility the image
on the gilded silver plaque to be directly related to the bronze instrument and on the
ways in which it could have been found on the territory of Northwestern Thrace.
Some of the options considered are the seal to have been in the possession of one of
the so-called “itinerant” toreuts, who worked on that territory, or of a local craftsman
learning his trade on the territory of the Propontis, possibly also in Cyzicus,
where he acquired skills to make such objects.

Among all the hoards consisting the ceremonial akinakai the assemblage of items discovered in 1882 near the Vettersfelde village is the most reliable. It contained richly decorated golden objects in conventional geometric and animal style. Judging by the plots presented on the objects in the animal style like a fish-shaped plaque, a clover-shaped phalera and a scabbard of a sword, they make up a solid ensemble, most likely made simultaneously in one workshop. Most scholars have dated the hoard within the framework of the late 6th — early 5th centuries BC, at the same time, among all of the objects of this set of items, the sword occupies the earliest part of the chronological range. The manufacturing of hoard items from Vettersfelde is usually associated with the Milesian colonies of the Pontic region, while for the artist certain bilingualism is documented, allowing him to use both Greek and barbaric expressive means — pairing, symmetry, repetition and antithesis, among them. Most likely, the choice of metaphors for the narrative was not accidental, and, undoubtfully was recognized both by its performer and the recipient, but the metaphor of the lion hunting deer was apparently the main one and therefore is repeated on all objects of the zoomorphic ensemble. If the localization of the hoard production is moved beyond the northern or western coast of the Black Sea, then it can be noted that the Milesian colonies of Eastern Greece can also claim the role of a source of origin for Vettersfelde hoard. In particular, according to many parameters, Cyzicus is suitable.

VOTIVE RELIEF OF THREE GRACES (CHARITES) IN BANDIRMA
ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

ın this study, the votive relief which was found in an old bulding near Ormanlı
Village, Kapıdağ Peninsula in 1949, and is exhibited now in Bandırma Archeological
Museum is evaluated.
Firstly in the study, informations about cultures, missions, myt has and identities
of Charites who are the main theme of the relief are given. Secondly, the places that
Charites were proccessed artisticaly and standing types are evaluated. Lastly,
definition and icomography of Cyzicus Charites Relief is made and similer art works
in sculp of statuary are compared, evaluated and dated.
After all these studies, it is deduced that this original work, having touch of 5.
And 4. centruy BC’s artistic figüres, belongs to Last Hadrian Period. Missions and the
respect, shown for Charites in Cyzicus are interpreted.

Cette étude d'une épigramme de Cyzique, conservée par l'Anthologie Palatine, s'interroge tout d'abord sur le lieu d'exposition de la pierre, à Cyzique ou à Delphes, avant d'étudier plus avant les informations qu'elle contient. Il apparaît alors qu'en exposant une stylis, c'est-à-dire un ornement de trière, la prestigieuse cité de Propontide met en avant sa puissance maritime, placée sous la tutelle d'Athéna et Apollon.

Zusammenfassung
Auf den Vorderseiten kyzikenischer Elektronstatere und -hekten erscheint – mit ziemlicher Sicherheit irgendwann in der 2. Hälfte des 5. Jhdts. v. Chr. – ein Münzbild, das von zahlreichen Gelehrten immer wieder in der einen oder anderen Weise mit Delphi in Verbindung gebracht worden ist: In einen mit einem Netz bespannten Omphalos haben sich antithetisch zwei Adler eingekrallt. Dieser Beitrag wirft die Frage auf, ob dieses Münzbild nicht doch auf Kyzikos, das diese Münze geprägt hat, und nicht auf Delphi zu beziehen ist. Anhand von zwei literarischen Zeugnissen – einem aus der hellenistischen Epoche (Nikander von Kolophon, Alexipharmaka) und einem aus der Kaiserzeit (Rede des Aelius Aristides auf Kyzikos) – lässt sich aufzeigen, dass Kyzikos zu jenen Städten gehörte, die für sich in Anspruch nahmen, im Mittelpunkt der damals bekannten Welt zu liegen und damit Nabel, d.h. omphalos, der als flache Scheibe gedachten Erde zu sein. So konnten die Kyzikener den in Griechenland kursierenden Mythos von den zwei gleich schnell fliegenden Adlern, die Zeus von beiden Enden der Erdscheibe zur gleichen Zeit losgeschickt hatte und die dann im Zentrum der Welt aufeinander getroffen waren, auf ihre Stadt beziehen und mit einem eben solchen Anspruch Delphis konkurrieren. Arktonesos, die Bäreninsel, die nabelförmig im Marmarameer liegt und auf der einer Tradition zufolge in mythischer Zeit einheimische Ammen in einem Versteck das Zeuskind aufgezogen hatten und auf der später von den Milesiern Kyzikos gegründet worden war, galt – wie die kyzikenische Elektronmünzprägung zeigt – offensichtlich schon seit den Tagen des berühmten milesischen Geographen Hekataios als Mittelpunkt der Erde. Weitere Elektronprägungen von Kyzikos, die etwa Zeus abbilden, der gerade einen Adler losschickt, oder den vor der Erdscheibe auf einem Thunfisch sitzenden Adler wiedergeben, sind ebenfalls mit dieser lokalen mythischen Tradition in Verbindung zu bringen.
Summary
Probably at some time in the second half of the 5th c. BC the obverses of Cyzicene electron staters and hectai showed a scene which several scholars and numismatists have associated with Delphi: Two eagles clinging to an omphalos, whose surface is covered with a knotted net, are facing each other. This paper addresses the question, whether this coin image refers not to Delphian but to Cyzicene local lore. This contribution, relying on the evidence of two Greek authors, the physician, gramma- rian and poet Nicander of Colophon, who flourished in the 2nd half of the 2nd c. BC, and the orator and writer Aelius Aristides living in the 2nd c. AD, argues that Cyzicus was one of those cities that claimed to be located in the middle of the world as it was then known, and thus also deemed itself to be its navel point, the omphalos. The people of Cyzicus therefore associated the well-known Greek myth about the two eagles with their own city. According to this mythical account, in order to find out where the earth’s centre was, Zeus simultaneously dispatched two equally fast flying eagles from each end of the earth’s disc. The point at which the two birds met should be identified with the centre of the world. In competition with Delphi and other cities, Cyzicus located the eagles’ meeting place on its own city territory, more precisely on Arktonesos, the ‹Island of the She-Bears›, which was situated in the Sea of Marmara and had the form of a navel. Relying on local traditions the Cyzicenes believed that in mythical times the infant Zeus was brought up there in a hiding place by local foster mothers, who were later metamorphosed into she-bears and finally into stars. In historic times, the Milesians founded a colony on Arktonesos, and it was probably the famous Milesian historian and geographer Hekataios, who stated that Cyzicus was situated at the world’s mid-point. This may be the most im- portant message conveyed by the electron coins discussed here. There are further coins minted by Cyzicus alluding to the city’s navel position, e.g. coins that show Zeus despatching one of the eagles, or another issue that depicts an eagle perching on a tunny in front of the earth’s disc.

In order to control the coherency of the many statistical methods which have been put forward to estimate the original  number of (obverse) dies, we have checked on different samples (coinages) the results at different times during the building of the samples (royal tetradrachms of Mithridates Eupator, the last kings of Bithynia, late Alexanders of Odessos and Mesembria, late Lysimachi of Byzantium, dated cistophori of Ephesus, drachms of Ariarathes IX of Cappadocia, tetradrachms of Tigranes the Great of Armenia, as well as the Hellenistic tetradrachms struck by the cities of Abydus, Cyzicus, Aegeai, Heraclea, Lebedus, Smyrna, Syros and Tenedus). The general pattern is that statistical methods use to underestimate the original number of obverse dies because they don't fully recognize the high ratio of dies poorly represented by 1 or 2 coins only. The Esty method appears as the less distorting.

Among a few archival notes we have discovered a photo of a bronze coin minted in Istros, as we can tell from the image, on the reverse, of an eagle standing on a dolphin. Unfortunately, there are no technical specifications or any information regarding its origin. The coin displays the head of Apollo to the right, wearing the taenia. On the right side, a countermark of 5×10 mm, that seems to be a lyre, was applied. The search was fruitless in the former direction, while in the later we found several coins belonging to the king Prusias I of Bithynia (238-183 BC), struck with a countermark with a lyre. The countermark is very similar in style with that on the Istrian coin, even though it is blurred. This similarity is very significant, because it shows a contact between the two issues, some historical conjuncture whereby the respective coins came into a close contact. The coins minted by Prusias I, the king of Bithynia, were countermarked with several punches whose succession could show us a mirror of historical events of his time. By comparing it to Greek coins from the south-western Black Sea region it appears that the mintage of such Istrian issues began in the early 2nd century BC.
Later issues have also been published in the literature, which differ from our coin, as the obverse displays Apollo alongside an attribute, probably an arrow. The more recent issues reveal the continuity of this monetary type, minted in several variants until the 1st century BC. They remained in circulation until the 1st century AD when they were countermarked with the image of a bunch of grapes. Such dies were applied by the city of Dionysopolis during the first half of the 1st century AD.

Çalışmamızda, Mysia Bölgesi içinde yer alan ve bölgenin önde gelen antik kentlerinden biri olan Kyzikos’tan, Roma Dönemi’ne ait lahitten çıkarılan malzemelerin tanıtılması, yapım teknikleri, dönem örnekleri arasındaki yeri ve varsa farklı üretimlerin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır.
İncelenen malzeme, 2007 yılında Kyzikos antik kentinin nekropolünde kaçak kazı ihbarlarının artması sonucu yapılan bir çalışma neticesinde bulunan sade ve bezemesiz lahitten çıkarılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda, lahit mezar buluntularının, MÖ 3. yüzyıla ait olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Burada değerlendirilen pişmiş toprak, cam ve altın örnekleri hem kent hem de bölge üretiminin bilinmesi açısından faydalı olacaktır. Ayrıca Anadolu’ya özgü olduğu kabul edilen unguentarium formunun buluntular arasında yer alması, kentin cam sanatı açısından önemlidir. Yine Kyzikos örneklerinin, Roma Dönemi eserlerinin değerlendirilmesi aşamasında da yararlı olacağı kanısındayız.

Abstract
Sarcophagus Finds of Cyzicus

In our study, it is aimed to introduce, show making techniques of, place among the period examples of, and if there is, different productions, materials taken from sarcophagus dating back to Roman Period, Cyzicus which is one of foremost ancient cities located in Mysia Region.
The material studied on was excavated from unadorned and undecorated sarcophagus that is found as a result of a study made in necropolis of ancient city Cyzicus after increasing informing on illegal excavations. As a result of evaluations, it is decided that these sarcophagus find dates back to third century BC.
Earthware, glass and gold examples evaluated here will be useful for both city and region’s production to be known. Besides, as unguentarium form which is accepted to peculiar to Anatolia is in among finds, it is important for city in terms of glass art. We think Cyzicus examples again will be helpful also in terms of evaluating works of Roman Period

MÖ V. yüzyıl Persler ve Hellenler arasında bir dizi savaşlara sahne olmuştur. Perslerin Küçük Asia ve Hellas'ı ele geçirme teşebbüslerine bağlı olarak bu girişimleri engellemek amacıyla Hellespontos, Adalar, Ionia, Karia ve Thrakia civarındaki kentlerin katıldığı MÖ ca 478/77 yılında Atina önderliğinde Delos Birliği kurulmuştur. Bu birlik Perslere karşı yürütülen mücadelenin devamlılığının sağlanması için üye kentlerden yıllık vergi/tributum talep etmiştir. Kentlerin ekonomik güçlerine göre ödedikleri bu vergi miktarları mermer steller (Atina Vergi Listeleri) üzerinde kaydedilmiştir. Bu bağlamda Delos Birliği'ne vergi veren kentlerden biri de Hellespontos bölgesinde bulunan Kyzikos kentidir. Bu çalışmada Atina Vergi Listeleri ışığında Hellespontos bölgesindeki Kyzikos ve çevresindeki yerleşimlerin MÖ V. yüzyılda Persler ve Atina özelinde Delos Birliği ile ilişkileri değerlendirilecektir.

Marktgewichte gehören zu den kleinformatigen Objekten des alltäglichen Lebens, die beim Handel auf der Agora, in den Läden usw. zum Abwiegen von (trockenen) Waren benötigt wurden. Tausende von ihnen wurden in den griechischen Poleis rund ums Mittelmeer und an der Küste des Schwarzen Meeres gefunden. Obwohl die meisten von ihnen in klassisch-hellenistischer Zeit aus Blei hergestellt wurden, gibt es eine beachtliche Anzahl (mehrere Hundert) von griechischen Marktgewichten aus Bronze. In der Forschung werden die bronzenen Exemplare oftmals als Standard- oder Eichgewichte interpretiert, die den städtischen Magistraten, d. h. meist den Agoranomoi oder Metronomoi, als Kontrollinstrumente für die Marktgewichte dienten.
Diese Interpretation soll im Vortrag überprüft werden. Dazu sollen zunächst die archaischen Gewichtsfunde aus Athen vorgestellt werden. Es handelt sich dabei um ein halbes Dutzend von Gewichten, die aus Bronze gefertigt sind, deren Fundorte (Agora und Akropolis) auf eine öffentliche Nutzung hinweisen und die durch ihre Inschrift (Δεμόσιον Ἀθεναίον) als öffentliches Eigentum der Athener ausgewiesen sind.
Diesen unstrittig als Standardgewichte gedeuteten Exemplaren aus Athen sollen Bronzegewichte aus anderen Städten gegenübergestellt werden. So finden sich hier einige wenige Poleis und Heiligtümer (wie Olbia und Olympia), die ausschließlich Bronzegewichte ausgegeben haben und die damit offenbar lokale Besonderheiten darstellen. Darüber hinaus sind Bronzegewichte aus rund 20 weiteren Poleis überliefert, stets in geringer Stückzahl. Die große Mehrheit an Gewichten dieser Poleis ist aus Blei gefertigt, wobei sich die Einzelstücke aus Bronze ikonographisch und epigraphisch nicht von den bleiernen Pendants unterscheiden, wie sie dies für Athen gezeigt werden kann. Da diese also nicht ohne Weiteres als Standardgewichte gedeutet werden können, ist die Gleichsetzung von Bronzegewicht = Normgewicht neu zu überdenken.

This is the original Powerpoint of the lecture presented in the grand auditorium Springer of the Israel Museum on Tuesday 26th June 2012, as a general introduction before the opening of the exhibition « White Gold » (see now the paper published in the Magazine of the American Numismatic Society.

Some call it an evolution since ancient societies were accustomed to settling transactions in precious metals for many centuries, even for millennia in some parts of Mesopotamia. But what happened in Asia Minor in the last third of the 7th c. BC (the date is debated) is best called a revolution, one which shaped the world of money forever. It was a revolution if the current view holds on: an issuing authority was powerful enough to impose a forced currency to standardized stamped lumps of metal priced well above their intrinsic value. Compared with the ingots or nuggets which were traded before, the main difference is very simple: coins were no more weighted within the limit of the issuing power. This is, in fact, the very definition of what a coin is: a small blank of metal whose alloy and weight are guaranteed by the impression of an official stamp or seal. Implicit but at the very heart of this revolution is the principle of fiduciary money, opposed to simple commodity money. People were convinced to accept a means of exchange whose intrinsic value was legally determined. And white gold Greek coins are likely to have been priced considerably above their intrinsic value.
We know where it happened: ancient Asia Minor, now Western modern Turkey. The distribution map of recorded finds, isolated or not, does not go beyond what was then controlled by the Mermnad rulers, the kingdom of Lydia which ended with its last king Croesus. It mainly covers the areas of Lydia with its capital Sardis, and Ionia with the city of Ephesus; it also extends to some parts of Mysia going North and Caria going South. This pattern strongly limits any explanation linking these first coins with long trade commercial purpose. 
What we don’t know for sure is: 1) when it first happened? 2) Who were the issuing powers? And, critically: 3) for what purpose these white gold coins were issued?

"Greek coins have always been praised as the most beautiful coins ever produced (along with Italian Renaissance medals). After evoking Goethe, José Maria de Heredia or President Theodore Roosevelt, this lecture explores which are the criteria behind this statement, namely the high relief, the diversity of types, the excellence of engraving and the adaptation to the small format. It ends with some reflections about beauty (symmetry) and sublime (asymmetry) with a special focus on three-quarter facing heads, and some comments about the changing tastes through 18th-21st c. Here we shall evoke the great names of Winckelmann, Raphael and Rubens, but also Kant, Burke and Ruskin.

Su una moneta in elettro coniata a Cizico nella seconda metà del V secolo a.C., apparsa da poco sul mercato collezionistico, è raffigurato un uomo in armi, probabilmente un generale che tiene un discorso alle sue truppe (adlocutio). In un precedente articolo F. De Luca ha proposto di identificare l'uomo in armi raffigurato sulla moneta con il generale ateniese Alcibiade. In questo nuovo articolo si ribadisce questa proposta e si confuta l’identificazione del condottiero misterioso con Parmenione, effettuata in un articolo del 2014 il professore Ioannis Tourátsoglu dell’Università di Salonicco.

Four women, indisputably linked through kinship, became actively intertwined through their origin and dynastic marriages, in the network of political life along the Black Sea coast: the Bosporan Kingdom, Thrace and the Pontus. Pythodoris І, Antonia Tryphaena, Pythodoris ІІ and Gepaepyris managed to benefit from their social status and to transform it into grounds for spreading their personal influence at the borderline between two ages in history: Hellenistic and Imperial.Antonia Tryphaena, daughter of Polemo І, King of Pontus, Cilicia and the Bosporus, and of his wife Pythodoris І, Queen of the Pontus, famous in ancient times for having ruled over an enormous territory after the death of her two husbands, was the link between the two dynasties – Thracian and Bosporan – in the early 1st century AD. As wife of the Thracian king Kotys, his widow and mother of his children, Tryphaena turned into an active participant in the last stage in the history of the Thracian kingdom. After her husband’s death, she succeeded in benefiting from her social status, her personal authority and financial potential, thus spreading her influence and securing to her heirs places in the world controlled by the Roman Empire, worthy of their origin.

The coinage of Cyzicus described by Kurt Regling as the most interesting of all times and places and certainly the most fascinating of all Greek coinages for art historians, is much in need of modern research. The purpose of this paper is twofold to sum up the main facts and hypotheses about the Cyzicene, as well as to introduce the first results of a die-study in progress (ca. 1,800 coins instead of the ca. 800 commented by Fritze in 1912). To compare with the current accepted knowledge forged more than a century ago, it is likely that the electrum coinage of Cyzicus will prove to be larger, later and more concentrated than generally reported.
