 INTRODUCTION
I have the pleasure of presenting to you volume eight of the series about the numismatic collections
of the Bulgarian museums CCCHBulg. VIII.
I would like to point out some of the recent positive facts in our activity, and also to inform you about
the support that has been given to us.
The accomplishing of this volume is a result of the financial support that was given to us by the
Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Bulgaria, Stara Zagora Municipality and Stara Zagora
Regional Museum of History.
Considering the large volume of this collection, here are presented only the coins from 6th – 1st
century BC. The Roman imperial and provincial coins will be published in the next volumes.
The first of our authors, and also our host, is Dr. Mariana Minkova. She is a curator of the numismatic
collection of the Regional Museum of History Stara Zagora. She is a prominent Bulgarian numismatist.
Here, she is presenting her introductory article of „Coin circulation on the territory of Stara Zagora
Province 6th – 1st century BC“. Dr. Minkova was involved in the preparation of the catalogue of the
single coins, where she processed a vast part of them (nos. 1-607 in the Catalogue). She took part in
the scientific processing of coin hoards from 2nd-1st century BC (nos. 2097-2395 in the Catalogue).
I would also like to welcome the new member of Publication & Editorial Board. It is Assoc. Prof.
Dr. Julia Tzvetkova – a leading researcher of the coinage of Thracian Chersonese. She is also a main
expert in the field of the bronze coins of Philip II and Alexander III in Thrace.
Dr. Tzvetkova is a member of the Department of Ancient History at the Faculty of History of Sofia
University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. She is the author of the article „The Hemidrachms of the Thracian
Chersonese: a classification approach“. She has also processed a significant part of the single coins
for the catalogue (nos. 1-607 in the Catalogue). The scientific processing of coin hoards of Thracian
Chersonese and Parion are all her merit (nos. 625-1584 in the Catalogue). The processing of the
bronze coins of Philip II and Alexander III was done by her (nos. 1585-2096 in the catalogue).
Stara Zagora’s region is of particular importance for the study of the coin circulation in Thrace in the
4th-1st century BC. There it’s been located a significant concentration of hemidrachms of Thracian
Chersonese and Parion, as well as hoards of bronze coins of Philip II and Alexander III. The coins
of Thracian Chersonese and Parion date back to 4th century BC. The coin hoards of Philip II and
Alexander III date back within the period of the end of the 4th century BC till the first decades of the
3rd century BC – a very important period for the history of Thrace.
Another important focus is: 11 drachms imitations were found in Stara Zagora’s region, for which I
suppose are coins of the Bastarnae (nos. 510-520). Of great importance is the fact that three of them
were discovered during archaeological excavations in the area. In my opinion, this type of drachms
dates back to the end of the 3rd until 2nd c. BC, and more specifically, around the time of the fall of
Macedonia in 168 BC.
An especially important is the following problem: the researched area has the highest density of
tetradrachms “rough” imitations with the name of the Thasians from the 1st century BC.
As a bottom line, I would say that Stara Zagora’s region is the meeting point of East-Celtic imitations
coming from the north and the imitations of tetradrachms under the type of Thasos.
At this point, it’s still debatable whether these two groups have something in common. But researches
in Thrace still continue, and with each new volume the significant scientific matters are getting
closer and closer to their discover.

 Coin circulation on the territory of Stara Zagora Province 6th -1st century BC
Mariana Minkova

Stara Zagora Province is situated in Central South Bulgaria. It occupies an area of 5151.1 sq.
km. The province is divided into 11 municipalities – Bratya Daskalovi, Gurkovo, Galabovo,
Kazanlak, Maglizh, Nikolaevo, Opan, Pavel Banya, Radnevo, Stara Zagora and Chirpan, with
a total of 195 villages. Stara Zagora province borders to the north on Gabrovo, to the northeast
on Veliko Tarnovo, to the west on Plovdiv, to the east on Sliven, to the southeast on Yambol and
to the south on Haskovo (Fig. 1). Because of its strategic geographical position, several main
roads have crossed the area since Antiquity. The Roman road Via Diagonalis from Singidunum,
Philippopolis to Byzantium had here one main branch running through the province territory, and
leading eastwards to Kabyle and Anhialo on the Black Sea. Perpendicularly to it, another strategic
road passed in North-South direction through Augusta Traiana connecting Nicopolis ad Istrum and
Hadrianopolis. In modern days, the roads connecting West, Central and North Europe with Asia
are running here, as well as those between Southwest Europe and the Black Sea.
The territory of Stara Zagora Province includes the Stara Zagora Plain, the Kazanlak Valley, parts
of the Balkan Mountain and Sredna Gora, covering the eastern part of the Upper Thracian Plain
and the Sredna Gora region, generally within the watershed of Sazliyka river.
Northwest of Stara Zagora at ca. 16 km, is situated Starozagorski Bani village (Engl. Stara Zagora
Mineral Baths village). Another mineral spring is located at Yagoda village, ca. 15 km north from
the city.
The main water artery in Stara Zagora Province is the Sazliyka river (145 km) whose upper flow
runs through the region.

The city of Stara Zagora has a millennial history. The first sedentary settlements appeared here
during the Neolithic period in 7th-6th millennium BC. The number of prehistoric settlements
registered in the region is amazingly great. Three of them are within the borders of the modern city
and are of world significance. These are the Bereketska tell (Fig. 2a) – the largest settlement mound
in Bulgaria with its height of 17 m and a diameter of 250 m; the Azmashka tell, which is the first
fully investigated mound in Bulgaria, and the tell at Stara Zagora Regional Hospital. In the vicinity
of the latter, two Neolithic dwellings have been discovered together with their full equipment, and
exposed in situ showing one of the best preserved state of former dwelling, discovered in Europe
(Fig. 2: b, c)

Another site of extreme importance is in the Mechi kladenets (old: Ai bunar) locality, situated 8
km northwest of Stara Zagora, towards the Starozagorski Bani village. It reveals the oldest copper
mine in Europe which have being exploited during the 5th millennium BC. It has functioned during
the Early and Late Chalcolithic period as the largest metallurgic centre in Europe (Fig. 3). Copper
artefacts manufactured from Mechi kladenets ore were being distributed to over last area, reaching
to the middle flow of Volga River.

The archaeological cultures in Stara Zagora regions, named after the investigated eponym sites of
Kaloyanovets, Kirilovo and Maritsa, have also become world wide.
The period before the foundation of the Roman city of Augusta Traiana is still insufficiently
studied. Already in late 19th century, Albert Dumont formulated the thesis about the foundation
of the Thracian settlement Beroe in 342-341 BC during the military campaign of Philip II in
Thrace1. Later, this hypothesis was adopted by K. Jireček, K. Škorpil, G. Katsarov, D. P. Dimitrov,
and by recent investigators D. Nikolov and Hr. Buyukliev. It has also been suggested that the
name Beroe was accepted from colonists coming from the Macedonian city of Beroe (modern-day
Veria in northern Greece)2. The thesis hase not found any support in archaeological investigations
or written narratives. No architecture indicating the presence of a Thracian settlement has been
discovered during the archaeological excavations of the ancient city Augusta Traiana. The Odrysian
king Seuthes III founded his capital Seuthopolis, on the riverbank of Tundzha River presently
submerged in the Koprinka dam. The city is located ca. 30 km to the north of Stara Zagora, in
Kazanlak Municipality. The famous Seuthopolis inscription (IGBulg III2 1731) discovered during
the excavation of the city, reported that Seuthes III render his lands around Seuthopolis and Kabyle
to his wife and sons. No other Thracian city in the vicinity is mentioned in the inscription, despite
the fact that the territory of modern Stara Zagora is lying between the city territories of the ancient
Kabyle and Seuthopolis.

Several hypotheses have been expressed regarding the assumed location of the Thracian city
of Beroe, none of which confirmed by archaeological records or written accounts. One of the
theories located the city along the river banks of Bedechka River, in the eastern part of the modern
city. Others authors localize Beroe on the right bank of Bereketska River, closely next to the tell
Bereketska, or further to the west of Stara Zagora, in Atyuren locality3.
The territory of Stara Zagora was inhabited by the Thracians during the Late Iron Age period from
6th century BC onwards till 1st century AD, as attested by multiple finds of household and art
objects.
Some of the emblematic finds from the Stara Zagora region are the two unique golden phialae from
the mid-6th century BC discovered by chance at Daskal Atanasovo village4 (Fig. 4). According to
R. Stoychev5, they are showing good parallels to the lotus-phialae from the sanctuaries of Hera
Akraia and Hera Limenaia in Perachora, Greece.

Fig. 4. Phiale from Daskal Atanasovo, 6th century BC.

The gilt silver belt from the village of Lovets (Fig. 4)6 with a scene of hunting horsemen is another
unique work of the Thracian art from the 5th century BC.

Some finds of world importance originate also from the neighbourhood of Dalboki and Oryahovitsa
villages lying eastwards of Stara Zagora. The discovered objects, known in specialized literature as
the “Dalboki Treasure”, are of those unique finds. Bronze armour, a golden pectoral (Fig. 6), two
silver cups and a smaller one, a bronze hydria, a bronze fibula, two iron spearheads, a candelabrum,
and other items have been discovered in a burial at the village of Dalboki7. These specimens are
extremely valuable for our history.

Fig. 6. Golden pectoral from Dalboki grave find, Stara Zagora region, 5th century BC.

Another find also originating from Dalboki vicinity is a fragment of the upper part of a bronze
situla from the 4th century BC8, discovered in Dabrava locality. It is currently displayed in the
permanent exhibition of the Regional Museum of History in Stara Zagora. A fragment from the
upper part of a second bronze vessel, most probably a hydria dated in the first half of the 5th century
BC, has been discovered near the village of Kirilovo9. The vessel has not been published and is
also displayed in the permanent exhibition.
Some 5 km northeast of the village of Oryahovitsa, in Popova Mogila locality, a Thracian tomb
has been discovered10. It was built from brick and stone, and is dated in the 4th century BC11 (Fig.
7). The lack of any plaster or frescos allows to dating the tomb before the Kazanlak tomb. Inside
the tomb, which was destroyed by looters in 2003, only three small gold flakes were discovered.
It is highly possible they belong to a gold wreath. The noble Thracian has been buried along
with two horses, as attested by the bones, discovered in situ in the antechamber12. This is the first
archaeologically investigated Thracian tomb in the region of Stara Zagora; its discovery extends
the existing conception about the Valley of the Thracian Rulers towards Stara Zagora territories.

7
The find was discovered by chance in April 1879 during ground levelling for a new cemetery in the village of Dalboki.
The objects were taken to Russia, and one cup of them was purchased for the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg,
where it is kept today. The remaining objects became possessions of an English private collector. After the collector’s
death, they were purchased by Lawrence of Arabia’s “Seven pillars of Wisdom” foundation, and they become a part of
the Ashmolean Museum collection, Oxford, England, ca. 1944-1945.
8
The situla is part of the main fund of Antique Archaeology Department in RMH Stara Zagora, with inv. no. 2Sz2850.
9
The identification and the dating are after R. Stoychev, to whom I express my gratitude.

The archaeological excavations followed the initial violation by looters.

Chatalka locality is situated westwards of Stara Zagora, between the villages of Elhovo, Yavorovo
and Mogilovo, where in 1970 s a Thracian villa rustica13 and the associated necropolis from 1st-
4th century AD at the Roshava Dragana mound were discovered and excavated. According to the
archaeological investigations, the Roshava Dragana tumulus should be regarded as a peculiar family
mausoleum for the members of the Thracian aristocratic family, to whom the estate belonged.
Recently, the initial assumption of M. Tacheva14 from 2004 has been proposed again, asserting
that the Roman villa at Chatalka should belong to a Thracian family with a Flavian romanization,
probably those of Titus Flavius Dinis, son of Skeles from the Quirina tribe15. An outstanding artifacts
found in the grave of a heavily armoured cavalryman is a sword with a nephrite crossguard, golden
application, and Sarmatian runes (Fig. 8). Four of the runes are showing similarities to those
of the Sarmatian King Inismey16. Among the other finds are a unique bronze parade face-mask
helmet and fragments from scale armour, whose poor preservation does not allow identify whether
it had belonged to the horse or to the horseman. According to the researching archaeologist Hr.
Buyukliev, the buried individual was a military man, cataphractarius, and the unique finds from
Chatalka are the evidence for Thraco-Sarmatian connections from the end of the 1st – the beginning
of the 2nd century AD17. In the recently published extensive study of the military equipment from

been produced in Panticapaeum18.

The total number of coins from the excavated necropoleis of the owners and the associated
inhabitants of the Thracian villa in Chatalka is 11.19 Roman Republican coins have been discovered
in a cremation burial, as well as in the embankment of mound no. 7, which defines the burial as the
earliest one. The coins discovered in the residential part of the villa have been originally processed
and published by Nikolov20.
Single Thracian tumuli have been excavated in the vicinity of Stara Zagora. In 1976, a tomb with
a cremation burial was excavated in a tumulus near the village of Venets, south of Stara Zagora.
Two kantharoi were deposited as grave gifts – a black-glazed and a bronze one (Fig. 9), as well
as two spearheads, dating the burial at the end of the 5th – the first decades of the 4th century BC21.

Early 1960s, H. Buyukliev22 investigated a burial mound in the territory of the Slavyanin village
revealing a grave of prominent Thracian from the 3th-2nd century BC. An iron sword and a knife
were deposited in the grave, as well as an amphora and a pot amongst the other ceramic vessels.
During the 3rd century BC, the Celts invaded Thrace and a number of them settled south of the
Balkan Mountains ca. 278 BC. A stone figurine with a horse head (Fig. 10), discovered 1965, in
the lands of Markovo village23, could be connected with their advance here. Similar artefacts have
been used as hearth-grates. The figurine has been defined by Buyukliev as of Celtic origin24.

During 2010-2011, on the territory of Bratya Daskalovi, a project was implemented, enabling
the investigation and identification of a Thraco-Roman dynastic centre in the region of the

Chirpan uplands25. As a result of the project, five burial mounds were excavated, as well as two
settlements plased at the karst spring in Halka Bunar locality and at the village of Cherna Gora.
The coins discovered in the Karakochova and Chitashka tumuli near Bratya Daskalovi are already
published26. Amongst them are Roman Republican coins, Celtic forgeries of Alexander type
drachms, a tetradrachm of Maroneia, forgeries of Thasian tetradrachms, etc. They are currently
kept in the Chirpan Historical Museum. The coins from the excavations at the Halka Bunar spring,
have been presented, too27. They are included in the present catalogue as possession of the museum
of Stara Zagora.
What about the Thracian settlements in the close vicinity of Augusta Traiana? Although scarce,
proofs for their existence are available. D. Nikolov has reported two rich cremations from burial
mounds dated in the last decades of the 1st century BC28. The first discovery was a chance find,
located ca. 3 km northeast of Stara Zagora29. Here, a large bronze vessel with a narrow neck, oval
base, and two massive ring handles was used as a cremation urn. Inside the vessel, a number of
objects were placed – a cuirass with silver studs, iron spurs with silver decoration and a bridle,
silver belt buckles, two gilded silver phalerae depicting fantastic animals (Fig. 11), silver cups
of Boscoreale type, a silver strainer with a Latin inscription SEX[TVS] MAETENIVS RVFIO
FECIT30.

Fig. 11. Silver phalera, Stara Zagora, 1st century BC-1st century AD.

The second find was discovered 4 km westwards of Stara Zagora31. The discovered artefacts are
similar to the mentioned above: spurs, a bridle, a bronze helmet, a gold ring32 and a double-bladed
sword with a silver scabbard33 with a Greek inscription. The entire assemblage is probably from a
burial of a rich Thracian from the 1st century BC, as suggested by the presence of the scabbard and

the gold ring confirming this date. The inscription on the scabbard shows the name of the producer
– Seuthes Paiagaros, and has enabled to date the find in the 1st century BC34. The gold ring (Fig.
12) with the Carnelian gemstone has been published by A. Milcheva-Dimitrova, who attributes the
depiction on the gem to the Spartan hero Othryades35. Milcheva-Dimitrova ascribes the artefact
to the works of the Roman-Republican glyptics from the 1st century BC. M. Tonkova also dates it
in the 1st century BC defining the ring as a representative masterpiece of the Late Hellenistic and
Early Republican glyptic art from the interior of Thrace36.

Fragments of Thracian monochrome grey ware, commonly dated in the Late Iron Age, were
discovered in close vicinity of the Roman city of Augusta Traiana. Similar fragments of the same
ware type were revealed during the archaeological investigation of Kr. Kalchev at the site located
on Angel Kanchev Str. in Stara Zagora, approximately 300 m east from the eastern city wall of the
Roman Augusta Traiana, in the area partly occupied by the Roman necropolis37. The earliest coins
in the Augusta Traiana necropolis belong to the Emperor Claudius 41-42 AD.
More fragments of Thracian monochrome grey from the 5th-4th century BC were found during
archaeological investigations in 1988-89 of the so-called Bishop’s Palace at the “Military area
archaeological site”, located to the north outside the city wall of Augusta Traiana.
In 2007, during archaeological excavation inside the fortified area, in the northwest part of Augusta
Traiana, a pit with Late Iron Age pottery was excavated38.
During diggings for a water pipe channel along the river bank of Bedechka River, fragments of
Black-glazed pottery were discovered, scattered on a relative small area. In terms of quantity, their
number actually exceeds the Black-glazed fragments discovered in Seuthopolis39. The place of
discovering was in the southeast outskirts of Stara Zagora, now within the city borders.
These fragments were originally reported by D. Nikolov40, who dated them to end of the 6th – 2nd
century BC41.
Recently, the ceramic fragments were revised and published by M. Kamisheva, who classified and

In the publication Nikolov expresses an assumption that the Thracian city of Beroe must be sought precisely in this
region, where the ceramic fragments were discovered. Later on, he abandons this hypothesis and draws the name
Beroe from that of a military area, which existed simultaneously with Augusta Traiana 2nd-4th century.

century BC42.
In 1981, during rescue excavations in the eastern outskirts of Stara Zagora, ca. 2.5 km from the
city centre, two burial mounds were excavated. They belong to a tumular necropolis of a total of
13 mounds, situated on the ridge and the southern slopes of a hill, known as Chadar mogila (Engl.
mogila=mound)43. The first mound had 12 secondary burials from the 2nd-4th century. In the second
one, one primary and two secondary burials were revealed. Earrings, a necklace, and pottery
fragments from the 8th-6th century BC were found in the primary grave. More fragments from the
typical Early Iron age pottery with grey-black and grey-brown polished surface were discovered
in the mound embankment, indicating even an earlier phase of the Early Iron Age. According to
the investigator Kr. Kalchev, the earth used for the construction of the mound was taken from a
settlement from the Early Iron Age located nearby.
In 1976, during the supervision of the construction works for erecting of the “Defenders of Stara
Zagora” Memorial Complex, on the top of the largest mound known as “Chadar Mogila”, the
archaeologist Dimitar Yankov the existence of cremation burials (oral report). Unfortunately, only
one bronze amphora (Fig. 13) was rescued from this mound. Recently, it has been restored, which
has enabled its assessment and dating to 480 BC44.

The existence of Thracian settlements eastwards from the city, as well as in its close vicinity,
is beyond doubt. Other pre-Roman settlements are also situated nearby. One of them should be

located south of the city, at Bereketska mound45, where fragments of Black-glazed pottery were
discovered. Another settlement has existed near the Malka Vereya village, where a sanctuary of the
Nymphs is also attested46.
The existence of the two tribes in Augusta Traiana – Άρηις (Аreis) and Κυρεινα (Quirina), are an
evidence for the existence of pre-Roman organizational structures, city associations, similar to
those in Philippopolis, Nicopolis ad Istrum, etc., which had their independent Koinon, magistrates
and specific religious life.
Archaeological research performed on the territory of Augusta Traiana has not produced enough
evidence so far to prove the existence or the location of a Thracian city of the type of Seuthopolis
or Kabyle. No Thracian city named Beroe has been mentioned in any written account before the
middle of the 2nd century, and neither has been featured in the famous Seuthopolis inscription. This
does not contradict the hypothesis about the existence of Thracian settlements in close vicinity to
Augusta Traiana before the middle of the 1st century, when Thrace became a Roman province. The
possibility for merging of Augusta Traiana with some of these settlements, which might be the
reason for the discovered pre-Roman coins in Roman strata, should not be dismissed.
Despite the fact that, presently, there are no solid evidences for the existence of a pre-Roman
Thracian settlement, the territory of Stara Zagora has been inhabited by Thracians since before the
emergence of the Odrysian Kingdom of Teres I. Because of the ideal climate conditions, several
Thracian settlements have existed here, although the majority of which remain unstudied. The
Odrysian kings from the middle of the 5th century BC until the middle of the 4th century BC –
Sitalces, Seuthes I, Amadocus I, Kotys I, inhabited fortified residences with stone architecture,
some of which are localized. However, they remain outside the territory of Augusta Traiana at
present.
A significant part of the pre-Roman numismatic material outside the reserve has come mostly from
accidental finds (see Table 1).

 Table 1. Distribution of the coins included in the catalogue, according to the emitting authority (Single coins
& Coin Hoards).

The material has defined the coin circulation in the region, which does not differ from those in
the rest of Thrace. During the 5th–3rd centuries BC, in result of intensive communications with the
poleis on the southern Thracian coast, hemidrachms of Parion and Thracian Chersonese have
circulated, as well as silver and bronze coins of Maroneia, Thasos, Abdera, or coins of Athens,
Ainos, and Larissa. Single specimens of Kardia, Ephesus, Sicyon, Histiaea are attested, too.
An electrum stater of Kyzicus dating back to the 6th-4th century BC was discovered ca. 20 km
northwest of Stara Zagora, in the lands of the Razhena village47. It shows a rare type with an
obverse: a pacing goat, beneath a dolphin / reverse: incuse square48.

 Parion and Thracian Chersonese
The hemidrachms of Parion and the Thracian Chersonese (4th century BC) have rarely been
discovered as single finds on the territory of Stara Zagora and the adjacent area. Usually, they
appear in mixed hoards. Analysis of their place of discovery allows to assume a connection between
the observed coin clustering and the advance of Antipater’s army during the events in 331/330 BC.
The richest hoards with coins of the Thracian Chersonese are those, discovered in the lands of the
villages of Gorno Novo Selo (IGCH 751) and Troyanovo (IGCH 753) located respectively north
of the Chirpan uplands and south of Stara Zagora, in the region of the Maritsa Iztok Complex49
(Fig. 14). The two hoards have been published by Nikolov50. The coins of Thracian Chersonese
certainly predominate, as observed in other similar coin hoards from Thrace.

Fig. 14. Distribution map of the coin hoards in the Stara Zagora Museum collection (numbers corre-
spond to the hoard numbers included in the catalogue).

Usually, they are mixed with coins of Parion, and occasionally, with other Hellenistic and
Macedonian issues. A detailed review and analysis of the known coin hoards with hemidrachms
of the Thracian Chersonese, as well as chronology and periodisation of the coinage have been
undertaken by J. Tzvetkova51.
An interesting specimen – a hybrid hemidrachm of Parion and Thracian Chersonese is attested

49
In the updated catalogue, the total number of Thracian Chersonese and Parion coins is bigger, since 16 hemidrachms
of the Thracian Chersonese and 12 hemidrachms of Parion from the hoard of Gorno Novo selo were acquired by the
museum several years after the publications of Nikolov and the IGCH.

in Gorno Novo selo hoard52. The obverse reproduces the Parion type while the reverse shows
the Thracian Chersonese type. The issuing of such a hybrid supposes that the dies of the two
cities – Parion and Thracian Chersonese – were at the same mint – a hypothesis, which Draganov
explains with the existence of a coin alliance between them. This would explain the mixed
composition of the hoards.
Hemidrachms of Parion are presented in mixed hoards from the territory of Stara Zagora – from
the villages of Dabovo (cat. no. 552/inv. 1327), Pastrovo and Rupkite (cat. no. 1584/inv. 1432).
One hemidrachm of Thracian Chersonese comes from Sarnevo (cat. no. 156/inv. 3516). The hoard
from Dabovo is already known in the literature (IGCH 757). It contained 80 hemidrachms of
Parion and Thracian Chersonese, but was dispersed after discovery. One hemidrachm of Thracian
Chersonese from this hoard is kept in the Stara Zagora Museum (cat. no. 150/inv. 1328). Two
hemidrachms of Parion from the village of Pastrovo, together with a hemidrachm of the Thracian
Chersonese (cat. no. 149/inv. 348) have been purchase by the RMH Stara Zagora, obviously also
as part of a mixed hoard53. It has been already determined that a hoard of hemidrachms of Parion
and Thracian Chersonese (cat. nos. 1582-1584), partly acquired by RMH-Stara Zagora, has been
discovered on the territory of Rupkite54.
Two hemidrachms of Parion have been discovered as isolated finds on the territory of Stara
Zagora. From the villages Kalitinovo (cat. no. 549/inv. 211), and Risimanovo, Radnevo region
(cat. no. 557/inv. 2788) are two more finds.
Single coins of the Thracian Chersonese have been found on the territories of the villages Sladak
Kladenets (cat. no. 157/inv. 443), and Starozagorski Bani (cat. no. 152/inv. 2074), etc. It is highly
possible that the single specimens belonged also to coin hoards.

Abdera and Maroneia

The contacts with Abdera and Maroneia during the period between the 4th and the 2nd centuries
BC are demonstrated in the numismatic material. Bronze coins of Maroneia’s small denomination
(4th century BC) have been more frequently discovered during archaeological investigations.
Single specimens have been detected during archaeological excavations at the site in Byalata Prast
locality, near the village of Zlatna Livada, Chirpan, Karasura55, as well as accidental finds in the
surroundings of Madrets, Oryahovitsa (a tetradrachm), Ploska Mogila, Sabranovo, Nova Zagora
region.
Two bronze coins of Abdera are registered in the museum inventory as single finds from Stara
Zagora, with no specified place of discovery (cat. no. 7-8/inv. no 1577-1578), as well as a drachm
(cat. no. 5/inv. no. 4122). Two further coins come from the region of Maglizh (cat. no. 3-4/inv.
no. 3370 & 4162). It was possible to specify that the second coin (cat. no. 4/inv. no. 4162) has
originated from a Maglizh hoard (IGCH 759) together with 67 coins of Parion.

The Pontic poleis

The trade connections of the discussed region with the West Pontic poleis is illustrated with 27
bronze autonomous coins of Mesambria, 2 silver specimens of Apollonia Pontica, as well as those
of Odessos and Sinope. The drachm of Sinope is from a burial mound at Bogdanovo, Nova Zagora
region.
The proximity of Mesambria is the obvious reason for the predominance of its issues in the region,

compared to the other poleis. Mesambrian coins have not been discovered during archaeological
investigations, but they have been registered in the museum inventory as originating from Stara
Zagora. Only one Mesambrian coin, not included in the above-mentioned 27 specimens, has
originated from the territory of the Rozov Kladenets reservoir, Galabovo Municipality (cat. no.
111/inv. no. 2781).

The coins of Mesambria are of the following types:

Type Coin count

1. Head of Athena to the right / four-spoked wheel 3

2. Helmet facing META within a wheel (4th – 3rd c. BC) 4
3. Helmet facing/ META or MEΣA in a wheel (4th – 3rd c. BC) 2
4. Helmet facing /MEΣA in a wheel (4th-3rd century BC) 1
5. Head of Amazon / Athena (Alkis) METAMBРIANΩΝ (250-175 BC) 6
6. Head of Amazon / Athena (Alkis) MEΣAMBРIANΩΝ (175/170-115/100 BC) 11

In the Archaeological Museum of Plovdiv kept are 15 further bronze coins with provenance
from the region of Stara Zagora, probably from a pre-Roman settlement. They were acquired in
Plovdiv Archaeological Museum in the beginning of the 20th century. Karayotov published these
as originating from the Thracian Beroe in his account on the coinage of Mesambria56 They are of
the following coin types:

Type Coin count

1. Head of Athena/ META in a wheel (middle of 4th c. BC) 1

2. Melsas / META in pelta (last quarter of 4th c. BC) 2
3. Shield facing / META in wheel (last quarter of 4th c. BC) 3
4. Shield facing / MEΣA in wheel 1
5. Shield in profile / MEΣAMBРIANΩN 2
6. Head of Amazon / METAMBРIANΩN (250-175 BC) 2
7. Head of Amazon / MEΣAMBРIANΩN (175/170-115/100 BC) 4

Amphipolis 4th-2nd century BC

Two coins of the ancient city of Amphipolis, the ruins of which lie on the territory of modern-
day Greece, are presented in the museum collection. The one was discovered during the
archaeological investigations of Karasura57, while the second comes from Tulovo region (cat. no.
257/inv. no. 1988).

Thracian and Macedonian coins

Isolated coins of the Thracian rulers Amadocus I and Teres II have been discovered west of Stara
Zagora, in the region of Chirpan. There is information about a coin of Amadocus I (408 BC) found
on the territory of the village of Spasovo, and 2 coins of Teres II (356-342 BC)58 from the region of
Chirpan. Single coins of Seuthes III have been discovered in the area west of Stara Zagora,

on the territories of Lozen, Dunav dere locality (cat. no 178/inv. no. 2734), Sladak Kladenets
(cat. no 186/inv. no. 1984), Rupkite (cat. no 192/inv. no. 3146), the Thracian villa rustica at
Chatalka (cat. no 202/inv. no. 3972) and two coins with an undetermined place of discovery from
the region of Chirpan (inv. no. 26759, cat. no. 169/inv. no. 269). Five bronze coins of Seuthes III
from two different types were found during archaeological excavations of the Thracian centre
at Halka Bunar, Gorno Belevo (Tonkova, 2002). Coins of Seuthes III have been discovered east
of Stara Zagora on the territories of the villages of Dalboki (cat. no. 199/inv. no. 2668) and Han
Asparuhovo (cat. no. 183/inv. no. 2750). A significant number of Seuthes’ III coins have been
found north of Stara Zagora, in close proximity to his capital Seuthopolis60.
The military campaigns of Philip II in Thrace in the period 342-341 BC led to establishing of the
Macedonian royal domain in the centre of the Odrysian political territory between Philippopolis
and Kabyle. The hypothesis about the foundation of a colony at the place of the future Augusta
Traiana by Philip II, analogically to Philippopolis and Kabyle, has not been confirmed by the
archaeological evidence so far. Numerous researchers have addressed the issue of the emergence
of the Roman city of Augusta Traiana and its relation to Beroe, denying the possibility for the
existence of a pre-Roman Thracian city on its territory61.
On the territory of Stara Zagora, the coins of Seuthes III (330-300 BC) were in circulation concur-
rently with the bronze coins of Philip II and his successors. Thracian imitations of the Thasos’ and
Maroneia’s tetradrachms were in circulation during the 2nd and the 1st centuries BC.
Two coin hoards containing issues of Seuthes III have been found north of Stara Zagora, on the
territories of the villages of Turia and Aleksandrovo (IGCH 845). Two coin hoards from Mogilovo62
contained respectively 150 and 133 bronze coins of Philip II and of Alexander III, but also 1 spec-
imen of Seuthes III in Mogilovo I IGCH 844 (Fig. 14; see cat. no. 1717/inv. no. 3477). The hoards
were found in an area which is directly connected to the Sveti Nikola mountain pass in Sredna Gora
which has played a key strategic role since ancient times.
This group of finds includes two further coin hoards – both discovered near Novo Selo, at ca. 10 km
northwest of Stara Zagora. The first one is composed mainly from coins of Philip II and Alexander
III, but also single specimens of Philip III, Erytrae, and Larissa (see cat. Mogilovo 1). The second
one contains coins of Philip II, Alexander III and one of Sestos (see cat. Mogilovo 2; Fig. 14).
Single coins of Philip II have been discovered during archaeological excavations of Chatalka, as
well as in the lands of Malka Vereya, Kazanka, Pastrovo, Dolno Novo selo, Bogomilovo, Kirilovo,
Samuilovo, Mogilovo, and others.
Two staters of Philip II are known from the region, one of which was discovered in the territory of
the village of Dinya (cat. no. 267/inv. no. 2359). A second one was reported from the region of the
village Saedinenie, Chirpan region, along with bronze coins all of them dispersed after discovery63.
Single finds of bronze coins and drachms of Alexander III, as well as their imitations, have been
discovered in the lands of the villages of Trankovo, Kolena, Lyulyak, Malka Vereya, Svoboda,
Dalboki, Slavyanin, Spasovo, Rupkite, Han Asparuhovo.
Philip III Arhidaeus issues are represented with one tetradrachm from the lands of the village of
Yagoda (cat. no. 486/inv. no. 1920), and drachm (cat. no. 489/inv. no. 332) from Nova Zagora,
with no determined location.
Less common are coins of Kassander (305-297 BC). Three specimens have been discovered in
Stara Zagora (cat. no. 498/inv. no. 1192, cat. no. 500/inv. no. 627, and cat. no. 492/inv. no. 2570).

From the neighbouring villages, two specimens are further recorded – one from Malka Vereya, and
another from the investigations of the Thracian centre at Halka Bunar, Gorno Belevo64. From the
latter site, two coins of Lysimachus, Alexander’s III Diadochus and a ruler of Thrace since 323 BC,
have been discovered as well. Single coins of Lysimachus originate from the following locations:
the Thracian villa at Chatalka, the villages of Pryaporets and Elhovo, and from the Kazanlak
region. A tetradrachm and a drachm of Lysimachus are known from the region of Nova Zagora.
Aside from the above-mentioned numismatic material, excavations at Halka Bunar revealed two
coins of Demetrius Poliorcetes (294-283 BC) (cat. nos. 503 and 506).
Coins from the 2nd-1st century BC, have been discovered 25-30 kilometres west of Stara Zagora,
north and northwest of the Chirpan uplands, on the territories of the following villages (see Fig.
14): Kolyo Marinovo (31 Roman Republican denarii and 9 Thasos imitations)65; Naydenovo
(a total of 35 coins, incl. 2 tetradrachms “Thasos type”, 25 Thasos imitations, 1 tetradrachm of
Maroneia, 1 tetradrachm of Athens New Style, and 6 Roman republican denarii; see catalogue);
Medovo (5 Thasos imitations, and 151 Roman Republican, see catalogue) Pravoslav (58 Roman
Republican denarii from 79 BC to Octavian Augustus, see catalogue), Preslaven (12 Republican
denarii). East of Stara Zagora, the following hoards have been uncovered: Bratya Kunchevi (2
tetradrachms of Maroneia and 3 imitations of Thasian tetradrachms from the end of the 1st century
BC, see catalogue), at Benkovski village – 2 coin hoards, the first of which contained a Thasos
tetradrachm and 4 Thasos type tetradrachms from the 2nd-1st century BC (see catalogue, Benkovski
1); the second hoard consisted of 60 coins, as reported upon discovery, however only 2 specimens
minted ca. 90-60 BC are present today (see catalogue, Benkovski 3). Another coin, acquired by
the Stara Zagora museum separately from the above-described finds, is an imitation of a Thasian
tetradrachm (cat. no. 2161/inv. no. 3467) originating from the village of Benkovski, most probably
also as part of a coin hoard, together with the Athenian tetradrachm (cat. no. 2160/inv. no. 3468)
acquired at the same time (see catalogue, Benkovski 2).
Additionally, imitations of Thasian tetradrachms have been found at the villages of Yavorovo (cat.
no. 129/inv. no. 1460), and Strelets (cat. no. 147/inv. no. 4517). An original tetradrachm of Thasos
is known to have originated from the territory of the village of Lozen (cat. no. 134/inv. no. 2818).
Apart from the coin hoards with Roman Republican coins, a fourrée of Octavian Augustus (4 Sz
3293) was discovered in the region of Stara Zagora66.
All imitations of Thasian tetradrachms found in the above-mentioned villages, are of the II type of
Thasos coinage: Obverse: Head of young Dionysus, beardless, with long hair, wearing ivy wreath,
right/Reverse: forged legend.
The imitations of the Thasian tetradrachms from the 2nd-1st century BC are the most common
silver issues in Thrace. These counterfeits of the original Thasian tetradrachms were the most
frequently forged by the Thracians silver coins during the pre-Roman period. The locations of the
mints where these coins have been struck have not been identified yet, but most probably, they
should be expected in the south-eastern territory of modern-day Bulgaria. The Thracian forgeries,
intended to be used by the Thracian population, have been found in coin hoards together with
Roman Republican denarii. This confirms their simultaneous circulation and is illustrating the
perspicacious Roman policy for economic, and subsequently, the political conquest of Thrace.
Several coins of Rhoemetalces I, one of the last Thracian rulers and Rome’s ally, were in circulation
in the studied territory. During excavations at Halka Bunar (Gorno Belevo, Bratya Daskalovi

Municipality), one coin of Rhoemetalces I was found67. More of his issues were discovered during
the excavations of the Thracian villa at Chatalka, at Malka Vereya village (Byalata cheshma
lokality), Hrishteni village, as well as one from Stara Zagora.
The pre-Roman and Roman Republican coin hoards, discovered on the territory of Stara Zagora
region are of great importance for the investigations of the period of their appearance in Thrace.
It is directly related with the Roman invasion in the studied territories, and the common coin
circulation there. According to their content, the hoards can be divided into several groups (Fig. 14):
1. Mixed coin hoards of Parion and Thracian Chersonese – Troyanovo, Gorno Novo
Selo, Dabovo, Rupkite, Zimnitsa.
2. Mixed bronze coin hoards of Philip II and Alexander III – Mogilovo, Novo Selo 1, 2
3. Mixed coin hoard of Philip II and Alexander III with silver drachms imitations – Stara Zagora
4. Mixed coin hoard of tetradrachms of Athens, Thasos and imitations of Thasian
Tetradrachms and Roman Republican coins – Naydenovo.
5. Mixed coin hoards of Roman Republican coins and imitations of Thasian tetradrachms
– Medovo, Kolyo Marinovo.
6. Mixed coin hoards of Maroneia and Thasos tetradrachms (Bratya Kunchevi, Stara Zagora
museum 2); Thasos and Athena tetradrachms (Benkovski 2).
7. Thasos tetradrachms coin hoard (Oryahovitsa; Benkovski 1,3; Stara Zagora museum 1).
8. Roman Republican coin hoard – Pravoslav, Preslaven, Nova Zagora.
The following conclusion can be drawn based on the published numismatic material: the Roman
city of Augusta Traiana did not appear on an uninhabited area. Pre-Roman Thracian settlements had
existed in the immediate vicinity and they are yet to be discovered and studied by archaeologists.
The possibility for the existence of earlier settlements within the limits of the ancient city should
not be rejected, too (Table 2).

28
 Table 2. Pre-Roman coins discovered on the territory of the city Stara Zagora

All coins listed above are single finds. Only the Thasian imitations, which were in circulation until
the beginning of the 1st century AD, were probably discovered together. They occurred also in
mixed finds together with Republican denarii in the latest hoards. Their discovery is not necessary
to be linked to the potential existence of settlements; it is quite possible that they were deposited
by individuals such as military men, etc. Along with the pre-Roman Hellenistic coins, Roman
Republican coins were in circulation as well, illustrating this way the Roman invasion in Thrace.
The coins, included in this volume, are from the period 6th – 1st centuries BC, representing both
single finds and coin hoards. The later coins from the time of the Roman Empire and Byzantine
period will be presented in future volumes.

 The Hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese: a classification approach
Julia Tzvetkova

The hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese have long been known in numismatic literature. The
standard iconographic type represents a lion forepart with the head reverted on the obverse, and
on the reverse – an incuse square divided in four fields, two of which sunken containing different
symbols or monograms. Although this is one of the vast coinages for its time, the hemidrachms
have still not been a subject of a special study. In a publication from 2004, I have shortly presented
the main issues of the silver coinage of the Thracian Chersonese, according to the distinguished
two chronological periods: the first period, represented by the archaic series with a main type lion/
Athena’s head, and the second period, to which belong the hemidrachms (Цветкова 2004). Despite
the expected scholarly discussion, the topic remained aside from the academic interests.
The hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese: historiographic issues
The reasons for the lacking of systematic investigations of the topic could be of different nature.
The missing detailed publications of the coin hoards with hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese
kept in museum funds and the consequent shortage of the essential database for such a study, could
be pointed as a main one. Aside from some short comments in numismatic catalogues containing
Chersonesan hemidrachms, or the brief notes of the discovered hoard finds (cf. IGCH 1973),1 the
researches remain isolated and limited to the presentation of new finds or discussing broad issues
of chronology and dating (Le Rider 1963; Николов 1963; Draganov 1993; Taneva 1999; Топалов
2000). Some personal web pages of coin collector are also dedicated to the subject (Murphy 2004;
Goldsborough 2013). The necessity of a scientific approach, parallel to the need of a coin catalogue
of the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese, has led only in the last two years to the release of
adequate publications of the coin hoards (cf. van Alfen forthcoming; 2018).
The presentation in the current volume of CCCHBulg of two of the biggest hoards with hemidrachms
of the Thracian Chersonese Troyanovo and Novo selo hoards, builds a significant step towards the
clarification of the issues connected with this coinage.
Thereby, several basic problems could be outlined in modern historiography: who is the minting
authority behind this issue – the polis Chersonese or a poleis federation; which is the applied
weight standard; when begins and ends this coinage; which is the issuing mint. The problematic is
additionally complicated by the circumstance that the coins are anepigraphic: aside from the single
letters or monograms on the reverse, there are no indications for their indisputable attribution to
Chersonese, which leaves place to some insecurities.
Domenico Sestini is one of the first n umismatists w ho c onnects t his c oin t ype w ith K ardia on
the Thracian Chersonese, questioning the previously suggested attribution to Leontini in Sicily
(Sestini 1779, 178f.). As issues of Leontini, they have been presented in the capital works of
Joseph Eckhel (Eckhel 1792, 217) and Théodore Mionnet (Mionnet 1806, 245), although in Eckhel
they are among the uncertain types of the polis. As he pointed out, such coins had been bought in
Constantinople which gave him ground to support Sestini’s opinion for their belonging to Kardia.
Subsequently, their attribution to the Thracian Chersonese has been accepted also by Mionnet
(Mionnet 1822, 525), and from there - in all successive numismatic catalogues (cf. Prokesch von
Osten 1859).
Grounds for such an attribution could be found when tracing the area of their distribution: they
are uncovered individually or in coin hoards mostly in the Thracian lands, along the Maritsa and
Tundzha Rivers. The stylistic similarities of the obverse image to the lion from the 1st period of

the Chesonesan coinage, as well as its occurrence on the bronze issues of Kardia, but most of all
- in the bronze coin type carrying the legend XEP-PO (Babelon 1907, 993–995; Цветкова 2004,
19, n. 24) provide further supports for the suggestion (Babelon 1907, 993–995; Цветкова 2004,
19, n. 24).
Regarding the issuing authority, in numismatic literature has already been suggested that we are
facing here a federative coinage, and the mint itself should have been in Kardia – the major city on
the peninsula (Head 1887, 223; Babelon 1926, 990; cf. van Alfen 2018).
The applied images have not been a subject of a special study. Usually, it is pointed out that
the depicted lion, attested already in the first period of the coinage, was probably accepted from
Miletus as a metropolis of Kardia, and anticipated as a solar symbol (Head 1887, 223; Babelon
1907, 1226 f.), No further suggestion for this iconographic choice have been discussed.
The reverse type is described as quadratum incusum/incuse square – a term introduced already
by Eckhel. In SNG Ashmolean, four types of the incuse square were distinguished: 1. Four fields
staggered towards each other; 2. Two sunken fields; 3. Two shallow fields; 4. Square divided in
four by lines (SNG Ashmolean IV 1981). However, such a typology remains isolated, and is not
followed in other catalogues, probably because the occurring different symbols and/or monograms
provide better criteria for building a typology then the specifics of the square alone.
The attested symbols on the reverse reproduce different floral or faunal motives, objects related
to the cult, or to the everyday life, etc. Aside of listing the observed motives (cf. Топалов 2000,
84; Murphy 2004) they are not commented in the publications. One of the most comprehensive
presentations of the attested symbol-monogram combination is the publication of D. Nikolov of
the new discoveries of the Troyanovo and Gorno Novo selo coin hoards (Николов 1963).
Various hypotheses have been formulated in terms of the attested single letters or monograms.
According to Head’s suggestion, they might be associated with the different poleis on the Thracian
Chersonese (Head 1911, 258). Babelon rejected such an interpretation with the reasonable argument
that the initials do not correspond to the names of the cities on the peninsula (Babelon 1926, 989).
Nevertheless, those explanation appears in recent studies (Топалов 2000, 88–90).
To Moushmov belongs the assumption that the letters should be understood as initials of magistrate
names. In his short comment to the Lovech hoard (IGCH 392) he mentions an interesting coin
carrying the initials АМА(tοκου), which he interpreted as “a name of a magistrate of Thracian
origin” (Мушмов 1916, 163). In this case, we obviously deal with the reverse type A-MA/double
axe placed in the separate reverse fields. Recently, in connection to the publication of the coins
from his collection, Topalov proposed to connect this coin type with the Odrysian king Amadokos
II (Топалов 2000, 94 f., обр. 10.1).
A key problem in historiography remains the specification of the applied weight standard. Dif-
ferent catalogues list them as Persian ¼ stater (McClean coll. 1926), light half siglos (SNG Cop
1942), triobols (SNG Tübingen1982), tetrobols (Герасимов 1960, 258, 1962, 229; Pozzi Coll.
1979; SNG Delepierre 1983), hemidrachms (Weber coll. 1924). In his study from 1963, Le Rider
thoroughly discussed the coinages in the Propontis region, and showed that in the period short after
the middle of 4th century BC most of the cities there, except Kyzikos, have accepted the Persian
standard (Le Rider 1963, 50 ff.). Consequently, most of the scholars are tending to define the small
silver coins of the Thracian Chersonese as hemidrachms struck after the Persian standard (cf.
Psoma 2016, 105f.).
The definition of the chronological limits of this coinage remains as most problematic. Tradition-
ally, coin catalogues adopt the dating of Barclay Head, who puts the coinage in the period 450-350
BC, based on the stylistic analysis of the incuse square considered as an evidence for an early mint
(Head 1887, 222). This dating appears in the all big and frequently cited catalogues (Мушмов

34
1912, 308; SNG Cop 1942), and from here it is multiplied in recent times (Lindgren 1989; SNG
Dreer 1990; Топалов 2000, 87; Murphy 2004; Goldsborough 2013). It should be pointed out that
in the literature other dates have been introduced already in late 19th century. So, in the British
Museum Catalog a wider relative date has been suggested, putting the hemidrachms of the Thra-
cian Chersonese in the time “before Alexander the Great”, which is also accepted by Babelon
(BMC Thrace 1877, 183; Babelon 1926, 994).
A crucial moment for defining the chronology is again the publication of Le Rider who puts the
hemidrachms in the second half of 4th century BC, showing they should be considered within the
frames of the mid-4th century phenomenon observed in other city mints from the Propontic region,
which started to issue adopting the Persian standard (Le Rider 1963, 53). Most of the subsequent
scholar publication agree with this date (Youroukova 1982, 219; Димитров 1989, 21; Русева
1989a, 15; Taneva 1999; van Alfen 2018). An attempt for its precision within the period 357-
323/20 BC, was lately suggested based on the observations of some coin hoards and considering
the general historical events around the mid-4th c. BC and the Athenian-Odrysian war over the
Chersonese (Цветкова 2004).2
The presented historiographic opinions about the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese are
actually based on a relative restricted amount of the discussed coins – mostly only data from a
certain museum collection (the British Museum, BMC Thrace, The Royal Collection of Coins and
Medals, Danish National Museum, SNG Cop, etc.). Involving in the analysis of a representative
and bigger coin quantity will provide a better database for supporting or not the discussed issues.
It is also necessary to examine the Chersonesan hemidrachms with respect to the background of
the currency flow in Thrace in previous and subsequent periods.

Data from the coin hoards

The hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese build an essential part of numerous coin hoards
– homogenous or mixed, the latter mainly with hemidrachms of Parion. A considerable part of
the known finds till the early 1970ies are included in the major work of Margaret Thompson, Otto
Mørkholm, and Colin M. Kraay “Inventory of Greek coin hoards” (IGCH 1973), now available
through a web platform (http://coinhoards.org/). Some of the later hoards are included in the “Coin
Hoards” series. Because of the purpose to systematize only basic data about the hoard composition
and volume, the presented information there is limited. The primary publications of some specific
finds provide more details (Николов 1963; Dimitrov 1992; Draganov 1993). These short reports,
despite of being scares, build the main basis of series overviews, attempted at sketching the general
picture of coin circulation in 4th century BC in Thrace, where the hoards with hemidrachms of
the Thracian Chersonese have an important place (Youroukova 1982; Домарадски 1987; Русева
1989a, 1989b, 1989c; Димитров 1990; Psoma 2011; van Alfen 2018).
To date, 34 hoards containing hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese are known in numismatic
literature (Fig. 1).

 Fig. 1. Hoards with hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese (in alphabetic order; coin volume according to
publication data).

Their number should be bigger if we consider unpublished finds stored in public or private
collections.3 Modern studies point to different number of such hoards, maybe because finds
containing only Parion coins are calculated, too. So Kamen Dimitrov speaks about “51 hoards
with coins of Parion and Thracian Chersonese”, but subsequently attributes to the distinguished
by him Group A “hoards without coins of Chersonese” (i.e. composed only from Parion coins)
only 12 finds, while to Group B “hoards with coins of Chersonese” are counted actually only 29
(Димитров 1989, 23, 26). Hristo Popov points to the number of 44 finds, to which he calculates
hoards with coins of Thracian Chersonese and/or Parion, as well as single finds from archaeological
excavations (Попов 2002, 310, карта 10). In a recent, and first systematical publication of the so
called “Thrace hoard IGCH 738”, Peter van Alfen lists 18 hoards (van Alfen 2018). However, we
should calculated to this number at least the finds from North Bulgaria included already in IGCH,
as well as those reported in the “Coin Hoards” series. Some later finds (after the publication of
IGCH) are only shortly reported in specialized Bulgarian literature, and remain this way unknown
for the broader audience. In any case, the total number of the hoards with hemidrachms of the
Thracian Chersonese is significant and would grow if we poses information about finds which did
not succeed to reach the museum funds.

3
See e.g. the unpublished hoards from Lozen village (Sofia) exhibited in the National Historical Museum-Sofa. Theodossiev lists
also a find from Momchilgrad Region, allegedly containing over 2100 coins of Thracian Chersonese, Parion and Saratokos
(Теодосиев 2017, vol 1, 252). The circumstances about this discovery, its disposition, as well as the presence of a bulk
Saratokos diobols are strange and unclear, hence it is not calculated here further.

37
All hoards originate from Thrace, except one find from the region of the ancient Sidon in Phoenicia
(IGCH 1521). Their distribution is concentrated south of Haemus, mainly along the Martitsa and
Tundzha Rivers. Only three finds are attested north from Haemus – the Botevgrad (CH 8, 136),
Lukovit (IGCH 393), and Lovech (IGCH 392) hoards (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2. Distribution map of the coin hoards with hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese, with respect to
the coin volume.

The Chersonesan hemidrachms build the main part of a given hoard, showing 50 to 75% of the
total represented coins. According to primary publications, their total sum from all already known
finds exceeds 3600. However, only small part of them have reached the museum collections as
an entire find: most of the hoards were dispersed after the discovery. Part of those coins have
probably entered the museum or private collections as single finds, with no information about their
provenance or any data to related them to a hoard, while other were irretrievably lost. Chersonesan
coins from the discussed hoards kept in museum collections should be approximately 1600. The
Troyanovo-IGCH 753 and Gorno Novo selo-IGCH 751 hoards contain a total of 741 Chersonesan
coins, i.e. 44 % from all preserved finds.4 Even with these reduced numbers, the coin quantity is a
good illustration of an extremely high minting intensity of the hemidrachms.
In most of the cases, we deal with small finds of 50 to 150 coins (cf. Fig. 2). Voluminous finds are
rare. The Didymoteichon hoard-IGCH 739 builds an exception. Unfortunately, the find has not
been preserved, therefor the announced number of 1000 coins is more than doubtful, neither

we possess any data for the intern allocation of the represented coin series. According to the statistical
picture from the rest of the hoards, we may assume that we deal here with two mechanically mixed
finds.
Only five of the hoards were homogenous, i.e. composed exclusively of Thracian Chersonese
coins: Edirne I-IGCH 744, Edirne II-IGCH 745, Edirne ІІІ-CH VIII 17, Obruchishte, and South
Bulgaria-IGCH 746. Other 10 are assembled from Chersonesan and Parion issues: Golyamo
Konare-IGCH 750, Gorni Voden-IGCH 748, Dabovo-IGCH 757, Lovech-IGCH 392, Lukovit-
IGCH 393, Pastrovo, Rupkite, Sarnevo, Troyanovo-IGCH 753, and Granitovo-IGCH 761, the
latter consisting of early Parion drachms and Chersonesan hemidrachms. Actually, aside from the
homogenous finds, Parion issues are lacking only in two cases: Botevgrad-CH VIII 136, where
the Chersonesan coins are mix with Philip ІІ silver types, and Sidon-IGCH 1521 where the 14
Chersonesan hemidrachms are completed with six coins of Amisos in Asia Minor.
Except the two main mints of Thracian Chersonese and Parion, the hoards contain also coins
of other issuer – Abdera, Apollonia Pontica, tetradrachms of Philip II, Maroneia, drachms from
the type Silen and Maenad, drachms of Alexander III (Fig. 3). Accidently represented are Istros,
Ainos, Byzantion,5 Chalcedon and Lampsakos – usually only with one specimen.

and Parion types.

39
The presence of those “foreign” coins is of extreme importance for determining the date of the hoard
deposition, as well as for specifying the chronology of the coinage of the Thracian Chersonese.
Unfortunately, we possess more precise data for only few of these coins (Fig. 4).

Fig. 4. Indicative coins presented in the hoards (Ch-N = Chryssanthaki-Nagle 2007a)

The dates of such indicative coins provide not only terminus post quem for the hoard deposition,
but also testify their synchronous circulation in Thrace, respectively – synchronous accumulation
of the hoard. The graphic below (Fig. 5) represents the earliest and latest suggested age of the
dated coin series, illustrating this way the chronological range in which the Chersonesan coinage
could be positioned, too.

Fig. 5. Chronological frames of the indicative coins included the hoards (cf. Fig. 4).

The „foreign“ series are represented in most of the cases by a single coin. Obviously, the series
of Thracian Chersonese and Parion were the dominant currencies in circulation in inland Thrace.

40
Ιn any case the dates allow for synchronization of the series, and provide a good reference point
to narrow the Chersonesan coinage within the second half of the 4th century BC, illustrating the
suggested date of Le Rider.
The tetrobol of Abdera from the V period in the Plovdiv II hoard, as well as the represented Silen/
Maenad coins (the latter with no suggested precise date but falling within the beginning of the 4th
century BC), are illustrating intrusive specimens, anachronously attested in the entire coin amount.
The rest of the Abdera coins from the VIII and IX period, together with the Philip II types point
to the time range 370s-360s-340s BC as period of their simultaneous circulation with the issues of
Thracian Chersonese and Parion on the Thracian market. Dolnoslav and Plovdiv Region are the
earliest hoards with silver issues of Alexander III type (Dimitrov 1992, 50), while the included
Chersonesan hemidrachms, build here actually the latest finds, illustrating the final stage of their
presence on the market. The end date could be defined more precisely in the 323 BC, because
in the already known hoard finds Lysimachus’ coins, as well as those of the other Diadochi are
lacking at all. This allows to assume that the main hoard content was accumulated before this date,
and only in rare case later coins have been added. The lack of Diadochi’s coins could have also
other explanation, aside from the chronological one: because of different market areas or political
realities.

An approach for classification

Classification, as well as the development of a catalog of Thracian Chersonese hemidrachms,
is related to the accumulation of critical database to embrace the type’s variety of this abundant
coinage. Up to now, the current database (developed under MS Access) includes data for over
1400 published coins of the Thracian Chersonese. The Stara Zagora Museum collection build its
core part, whit stored data for 760 pieces.
Another voluminous find is the recently published part of the Thrace - IGCH 738 hoard (cf. van
Alfen 2018), as well as the Bratsigovo hoard (NAIM, Inv. № CCLVII).6 The data for the other
560 coins is retrieved from publications in different catalogues of museum or private collections.
At present days, some of those collections are already available online – the Berlin numismatic
collection, described in its bigger part already from von Sallet (cf. Sallet 1888) is now included
in the web catalogue of Münzkabinett, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (MK-SMB7); a significant
part of the coins are available through the online database of the Corpus Nummorum Online
(CN), developed at Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften.8 Simultaneously, in
recent times the British volumes of SNG9 and the British museum catalogue10 are digitized and
also available online, parallel to their hardcopies (see British volumes of SNG and BMC Thrace).
The Chersonesan hemidrachms from the Staatliche Münzsammlung-München were processed
by myself in 1999.11 They are included in the database with their descriptive and metric values,
although not with an image which was not possible to be executed at the time.

The database comprises also published coin finds from archaeological excavations,12 from
catalogues of museum collections in Bulgaria, i.e. CCCHBulg. 2-Kyustendil, CCCHBulg. 3-Smolyan
(see also Прокопов 1991), of Plovdiv Museum (Кисьов et al. 1998, 18) and private collections (cf.
Топалов 2000, 81–104). The observations presented below are based on the statistical analysis of the
available information in the database with respect to the correct presentations of the coin types of the
hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese from Troyanovo and Gorno Novo selo hoards. The detailed
analysis and entire type catalogue is a subject of another publication.
All coins from the type of the Thracian Chersonese reproduce one and the same iconographic type: lion’s
forepart turned to the right with the head reverted/incuse square, divided in four field, two raised and two
sunken, containing different letters and/or monograms. An exception is the specimen SNG Lockett 1180
where the lion’s forepart is turned to the left. Probably, we deal here with an ancient imitation. The other
special case is the well-known hybrid coin from the Gorno Novo selo hoard (cat. no. 1578/ inv. no.
3044-13, see Fig. 10) reproducing on the obverse the Parion coin type with the cow, and the Chersonesan
incuse square with symbols and monograms on the reverse (cf. Draganov 1993). In Dewing’s collection,
one specimen is presented (Dewing 1308), reproducing on the obverse the identical image as on the
reverse but in negative – obviously in result of a technological error. All in all, these cases do
not illustrate new iconographic types.
The detailed iconographic study of the lion’s obverse image is a subject of another study.13
Nevertheless, it is necessary to mention that the lion’s image is not unknown in the region, as we see it
in the first minting period of the peninsula from the end of the 6th- beginning 5th century BC (Цветкова
2004), but also by Kardia (Tzvetkova 2009) and its successor Lysimacheia (Юрукова 1998, 16). From
the close Balkan context, the lion is known in the coins of the Odrysian king Hebryzelmis (Peter 1997,
109), the silver issues of the Macedonian kings Perdiccas ІІ (ca. 450-413 BC), Archelaus (413-399
BC), Aeropus II (399-395 BC), Amyntas ІІІ (393-370/369 BC), Perdiccas ІІІ (368-359 BC) (cf.
Драганов 2000 s.v.). We will see it in the fractions of Philip’s II gold stater (Le Rider 1977, Pella
Pl. 83, 36b-46; Pl. 85, 120b-121b; Pl. 85 Amphipolis 1a-3c). Metone also uses the motive of a lion
breaking spear in its bronze coinage (Psoma 2001, 115). The incuse square used as a reverse type
was initially accepted as an archaic pattern. This was obviously the reason for the primary suggested
early chronology of the Chersonesan hemidrachms in 480-350 BC (cf. Head 1887, 222),
subsequently corrected and shifted to the second half of the 4th century BC (Le Rider 1963).
The peculiarities of the Chersonesan reverse type – divided four fields forming singular sectors of
the coin punch, do not allows to define unambiguously the correct position of the axes and which part
should be accepted as up or down/right or left in the image. For that reason, it is not possible
to determine the die axes by the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.
In the four fields, different symbols, monograms, or oval pellets are attested. Usually, they occupy
the two sunken fields, rarely – also one of the raised. There are no observed cases of these mint
marks positioned in all four fields. For reasons of inputting of the reverse description in the database,
a formal positioning of the image was accepted according to the perception of the letter/monogram, and
in cases of no letter or monogram – according to the symbol upright position. Respectively,

12 Publications report ca. 50 hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese originating from 15 sites. Only those with available
metric or descriptive data allowing a statistical analysis are included in the database, i.e. from Belantash (Бориславов et al.
2012, 154, бел. 1), Kozi gramadi (Христов 2014, 210, 218 ПИН 77–17), one from a total of 5 coins uncovered in the necropolis
of Apollonia Pontica (Yordanova 2017, 16; for the other see Герасимов 1963b, 333) and from the necropolis at Stoykite
village (Кисьов 1989=CCCHBulg 3, no. 49). Recent finds of more hemidrachms from Pistiros after the summarizing publication
of Taneva for the coin finds up to 1999 (Taneva 1999) are difficult to be overviewed, since a fresher study is lacking.
13
The topic of the iconography and design of the Chersonesan hemidrachms is a subject of future study of the author
within the awarded grant of the Getty Scholars Program “The Classical World in Context: Thrace (Villa) 2019/2020”.

the four segments were formally marked from 1 to 4, in clockwise direction. Of course, such
a description is following our present perceptions, while for the ancient people the criteria for
“reading” the coin might have made another sense.

Principles for classification of the Chersonesan hemidrachms

The hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese are struck in one chronological period, covering
generally the time span of the second half of the 4th century BC (cf. Le Rider 1963, 53f.), and
illustrating the second minting period of the peninsula. It is separated by almost 150 years break
from the first period, therefore it could not be regarded as a continuing issue. Obviously, the
issuing authorities, as well as the reasons for this second start were different, compared to the time
of Miltiades the Younger. That is why both periods could be studied separately.
Aside from the chronological principles of differentiation, the changing iconographic marks of the
hemidrachms are accepted as next classification level. Here, the different symbols and monograms
are used in altering combinations, which is the adopted principle for building the arrangement and
distinguishing of specific coin groups.

Symbols
The information in the accumulated database allows for identifying 51 symbols (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6. Attested symbols on the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.

43
The preferred images illustrated different floral or faunal motives (grape, vine, corn grain
or corn ear, ivy leaf, bee, lizard, fish, cicada, shell, rooster, etc.), objects of everyday life or
cultic use (amphora, sickle, plow, bow, helmet, cantharos, caduceus, wreath, torch, pileus,
ram’s head, bucranium, club, etc.) or character symbols (pentagram, star, rosette, swastika).
Sometimes, the catalogues show serious differences by the symbol definition. The small size of
the flan, the wear of the punch or of the coin itself during its long circulation, the excentric die
position cause additional difficulties for the proper identification. For example, the so-called
„sickle“, is referred sometimes as a pruning hook, knife, ladle, or a helmet without a plume. The
“patera” could be described as round shield with a point in the middle, or as the Greek letter Θ,
although its parallel presence together with a monogram on the reverse testifies that it should be
conceived as an object, and not as a letter. The “fish” could be defined as dolphin when some
anatomic details are depicted more precisely, but when they lack it could be confused with a corn
grain. The distinguishing of a dolphin or seal images is also problematic. The Corinthian helmet
with a plume (cf. SNG Berry 50) is sometimes defined as a pomegranate (Granatapfel, cf.
Beschreibung 251, 18), which on the other hand is also represented among the symbols. The
cicada is sometimes called “a fly”, while the observed symbol oenochoe (cf. SNG Cop. 837-8)
was probably identical with the symbol “lekythos and strigiles”, judging from the bad
preservations of the image.
The distinguished symbol “Athena Promachos” is also problematic (cf. Weber 2418; McClean
4119, Pl. 149, 23). On the piece from the British Museum collection there is a clearly
distinguishable figure wearing a helmet, probably an armour or smooth curved cloth, and
holding a spear (BM-1921,0412.21), while the stylized image at the piece of Gorno Novo selo
(cat. no. 1445/inv. no. 3030-8) allows to think that in this case a trophy has been depicted –
a posture on which are hanging the named elements of the armament.

Monograms
The alphanumeric symbols occurring by the hemidrachms are conventionally called monograms.
These are rather single letters or simple combinations of two letters (e.g. АГ, ΑΥ, ΥΕ, ΛΕ, ΥΠ,
etc.) which occupy one, rarely two (adjacent) fields of the reverse. They do not have the complex
character of monograms which reproduce a shorten version of a name, but for convenience and
brevity will be called here this way. For this reason, in the literature are expressed considerable
hesitations in the interpretation of their meaning – as city names situated on the peninsula or as
names of magistrates. Serious doubts for associating the initials with city names are provoked by
the situation that the attested number of letters or monograms is 28 or 2914 by now (Fig. 7),
which is considerably overrunning the number of the cities evidenced through the whole
antiquity on the peninsula (cf. Tzvetkova 2000). On the other hand, a significant part of the coins
do not show any monogram, without of being an excentric punch.

14
In case we count Sigma or My as different letters.

44
 Fig. 7. Monograms on the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.

For facilitating the work – sorting, querying, retrieving, and analyzing the data – the monograms
were input in the database with their closest and intuitive coded combination of modern Greek
letters (Fig. 8).

Fig. 8. Monogram codes used in the database and in the catalogue.

45
The identification of some of the monograms is not unambiguous and categorical as well as their
reading. For example, when the monogram is falling partly out of the coin flan there could be
significant doubts by the identification of the monograms А/АГ/ΓΑ or Е/ΛΕ/ΛΕ2/ΕΥ/ΕΥ2. The
monogram described as М could actually be Σ or vice versa. The monograms Δ, ΔΥ, ΙΔ are attested
only on one piece by now with a lacking illustration, so it is not sure whether they should be
regarded as different monograms or not properly identified ones.15 In such dubious cases preference
are given to the way they have been reported in publications, if it is not possible to compare with
an image.
The way the monograms are depicted poses some other questions. For example, one of the most
common monograms is АГ, while the related ГА, where the part of the assumed letter Г (Gamma)
points to the left forming this way a mirrored image of АГ, is attested on only three pieces. It is
quite possible we are facing here a variant of the monogram АГ, where the mirrored image was
not taken in to account by preparing the matrix. Perhaps, the situation is analogical by the other
monogram groups ΛΕ-ΕΥ and ΛΕ2-ΕΥ2, where the diagonal stroke touching the letter E points
to a different direction up- or downwards. Furthermore, by the monograms ΛΕ2-ΕΥ2, where the
diagonal stroke begins from the middle of the letter E, it remains uncertain whether they are not
actually variants of ΛΕ-ΕΥ at which the stroke begins from the upper, respectively lower, corner of
the Epsilon. In all cases, even if they reproduce one and the same monogram, their distinguishing
is reasonable, since it indicates different series.
Our overall observations and knowledge about the coinage of the other Aegean poleis, as well as
those of the Macedonian kings Philip II and Alexander III allow to give preferences to the thesis
that the monograms are referring to the altering magistrates responsible for the different coin
series. It is not possible at this stage to identify certain historical persons who stay behind the
attested monograms or letters.
Main coin groups
Based on the assembling of the different monograms and symbols, more than 205 combinations
are distinguished of the basic type “lion’s forepart to the right with the head reverted/incuse
square with two raised and two sunken fields”. They illustrate the main coin groups of the issued
hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.
The adopted order of the coin groups is according to the quantitative principles, beginning with the
most frequent symbols, and as a grouping sub-level – the frequency of the attested monograms.
The coin series with no symbol or monogram build an exception from this rule, and are displayed
as a first group. The illegible coins, with no clear symbol or monogram, are placed at the end in a
separate group.
The hesitations for choosing the symbol for leading classification level are grounded on the fact
that the number of coins showing only a symbol as a mintmark is three times bigger than those
having only a monogram (221 to 74 according to the present state of the database). Obviously,
the presence of the initials of the responsible magistrate was not always necessary for the entire
Chersonesan hemidrachms. On the other hand, the symbol apparently is carrying more clear
semiotic value for the Thracian society, as a final recipient of the coins.
At this stage, it is only possible to suggest a typological distinguishing of the coin groups. Their
relative chronological order, and defining which series should be placed at the beginning of the
entire coinage is only possible after an exhaustive die study.
Nevertheless, some primary observations could already be pointed out. In this respect, the group
15
cf. the Barry P. Murphy’s web-page, who shows image of the ΙΔ variant but without any reference to the source
http:// bpmurphy.ancients.info/chersonese/page6.htm. At the same time, he describes wrongly the coin from the same
series from the McClean collection (McClean 4096, Pl. 149, 3), as LD.

46
“monogram АГ-crossed corn grains” could be actually a variant of the group “monogram АГ-corn
grain” overstriking the group “monogram I-pellet”: parts of the monogram I are visible in the field
next to the corn grain, and it is very possible this has led to describing the otherwise unclear motive
as “crossed corn grains” (cf. i.e. BMC Thrace 184, 22).16 Consequently, the series with monogram І
should precede the one with monogram АГ.
On the reverse usually only one monogram is depicted – with or without a symbol. A special case
is the attested combination А-МА/double axe (labrys), situated in three of the neighbouring fields.
There are several such pieces reported in the literature: 1. from the Lovech hoard (Мушмов 1916,
163); 2. from the Troyanovo hoard (cf. here cat. no. 1053/inv. no. 3076); 3. in McClean collection
(McClean no. 4109, Pl. 149-14; cf. Топалов 2000, 95-96, Fig. 10.3); 4. in Topalov’s collection
(2000, 95-96, Fig. 10.1). Topalov reports another piece from an unknown private collection. Since
the Lovech hoard has been dispersed, and we do not know the location of the mentioned piece, it
could be identical with some of the other mentioned specimens, i.e. we have at present four or five
coins from that series. A comparison of the three available images shows that they belong
definitely to three different reverse dies. This allows to assume a considerable coin production of
that series, if we accept that with one die it was possible to strike at least 10 000 coins.17 The
suggested connection of the series with the Odrysian king Amadokos II (Топалов 2000, 94 f., Fig.
10.1) sounds plausible, and allows to date it in the time of his rule ca. 360 – 352/1 BC, i.e. in the
begging of the issuing period of the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.
Additional marks, graffiti, and test cuts
On some coins additional graffiti are visible – scratched lines, letters or signs which definitely are
not in result of the long usage or wear (cf. Kraay 1976, 16f.).18 They were applied by a thin blade
on one or on both sides of the coin surface. Clearly distinguishable by the hemidrachms are the X-
shaped or cross-shaped marks (see here cat. no. 1258/inv. no. 3020-24; cat. no. 153/inv. no. 185/к).
Their meaning has no connection to the minting process, and should probably be associated with
the time of the coin circulation, as an additional marks by a moneychanger as a guarantee of the
value.
Another additional element is the presence of cuts by almost 1/3 of the coins. This is
usually interpreted as a test sampling of the metal content of the flan (Kraay 1976, 16), which is
expected with respect to the attested fourrées. In some cases when the cuts are more than
one and are connected with removing tiny particle of the metal (as for example by cat.
no. 1019/inv. no. 3058-1 which bears three test cuts), an acceptable explanation is that the
purpose was to reduce the coin weight, through which simultaneously a minimal silver
amount was purchased, too. The statistical analysis of the available data do not show any
regularities between the test cuts and specific series, i.e. the coins were principally tested
when entering the circulation region of inland Thrace, either because of being unknown
currency or due to the presence of ancient forgeries.19
Metrology
Already in his study from 1963 Le Rider defines the weight standard of the coins of the Thracian
Chersonese as hemidrachms struck after the Persian weight standard, principally accepted by the

&place=105197&material=17775&page=1
17
As suggested in numismatics and experimentally supported, by the Greek coinage we can accept that the life of a
matrix for the reverse punch can be estimated at 10 000 to 20 000 strikes (Sellwood 1963; Kraay 1976, 14; Moesta,
Franke 1995, 97; de Callataÿ 2012, 239).

other Propontic cities and in Asia Minor around the midd-4th century BC, with an exception of
Kyzikos (Le Rider 1963, 53f.). His conclusions were adopted in numismatics. The observations
below could only contribute with statistical data to the formulated hypotheses.
The metric data – coin weight and diameter – are of essential importance for defining the weight
standard. The available database allows to illustrate the variations of coin weight and size.

Fig. 9. Distribution of coin weight and diameter by the hemidrachms.

The database contains information for 1422 coins of the Thracian Chersonese with reported weight.
The graphic (Fig. 9) displays that the majority of the coins are falling in the range 2.30-2.39 g,
showing an average of 2.32 g. It is necessary to note the presence of coins with considerably lower
weight, even such within the range of 1.05-1.34 g, without of being fractions. It is quite possible
that coins of extremely reduced weight under 2.00 g are actually foures. Two such cases are at-
tested in Troyanovo hoard in the present catalogue (cat. no. 1008/inv. no. 3071-2 and cat. no. 1003/
inv. no. 3061-10), as well as the known hybrid hemidrachms of Parion/Thracian Chersonese
from Gorno Novo selo, which shows on the reverse clear traces of presence of a bronze core,
apart from the unusual combination of the two coins dies – on the obverse the cow of Parion, and
on the reverse the incuse square from the group bee-monogram A (Fig. 10). Other examples
included in the data-base with their metric data are the piece from BMC Thrace 183, 12, and one
from the Bratsigovo hoard (NAIM-CCLVII-28).20 Further fourrées of the Chersonesan
hemidrachms have been uncov-ered during excavations at several sites – one originates from the
necropolis of Apollonia Pontica (Yordanova 2017, 16), five pieces are from Pistiros (Taneva
1999, 207), and one from the series with monogram HP is from Tragilos (Chryssanthaki-Nagle
2007b, 98). The weight of the fourées included in the database ranges between 1.33-2.11 g,
showing an average of 1.82 g. This allows to suspect all reported underweighting coins for being
also ancient forgeries.

20
Publication is forthcoming (Tzvetkova, forthcoming).

 Fig. 10. Fourrées of the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese (scale 2:1): from Troyanovo hoard
(cat. nos. 1003&1008), and the hybrid hemidrachm from Gorno Novo selo hoard (cat. no. 1578).

Such fourrées are not unusual in the Antiquity, and are already attested in other vast
coinages21 for being an easy possibility to secure sufficient silver coin of a given series. Here,
they should be regarded as a sing for an inflation within the long-lasting and extensive coinage of
the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.
Regarding the diameter, 1280 coins with available data have been analysed. The dimensions
range between 9.7 and 17.5 mm, showing commonly ca. 13 mm (Fig. 9).
Summing up the two criteria of weight-diameter, it is necessary to note the significant
fluctuations of the coins, indicating unstable norms in the standard and illustrating significant
dynamics in the minting of the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese.

Discussion
The dating of the hemidrachms of the Thracian Chersonese could be defined m ore o r less
successfully in the second half of the 4th century BC, or as suggested above – between 360-309
BC. The other main question – who stays behind this vast coinage, and what are the reasons for
its begin – remains still unresolved. Anyway, some suggestions in this connection could already
be formulated: on the one hand, the realization of such voluminous coinage assumes a sufficient
economic potential of the responsible authority. It would be highly speculative to estimate the
coin production on hand of the distinguished over 200 coin groups, but this would exceed 2
million hemidrachms circulating in Thrace if we accept that with one coin die ca. 10 000 coins
had been produced. Calculating all the variants of a series will increase the numbers drastically.
The general political picture of the middle of the 4th century BC points to the Macedonian
kingdom of Philip II as the only one possible issuer of such an enormous coinage. All the rest of
the political factors in the region – the Odrysian kingdom after the assassination of Kotys I, the
Aegean poleis, even as a federation, could not maintain such a long coinage.
An argument for this hypothesis could be found in the parallels of the coin production of the
royal mints Pella and Amphipolis, both showing several similar symbols or monograms (cf. Le
Rider 1977, passim). For example, Amphipolis used in the first issuing period the club (no.
111-115), the bow (no. 117-121), and the rooster (no. 177). In period ІІА (348/7-343/2 BC)
bucranium (no. 209-210), rose (no. 211-229), amphora (no. 230-245), and a bunch of grape
(no. 246-259) are occurring. In period ІІІ (323/2-316/5 BC) we see the swastika (Pl. 44, no.
10) and the wreath (Pl. 45, no. 22). In the period ІІ А1 (348/7-343/2 BC) Pella applied
the corn grain (no. 163-164) and the caduceus (no. 172-183), while by the posthumous
21
e.g. the coinage of Aesillas the Questor from the 1st century BC (de Callataÿ 1996, Pl. 3-4; Bauslaugh 2000, 70–73; cf.
Tzvetkova 2016, 20).

49
coinage of Philip II type from ІІ В period (336/5-329/8 BC) we meet in the altering series bee,
club, wreath, dolphin, ivy leaf, and a bunch of grapes (cf. no. 367 ff.). In Pella’s third period
(323-315 BC) the series are marked with bee and a patera (cf. no. 433-439). Apart from the
mentioned, the two mints used a wide range of other symbols for their emissions, but they are not
occurring on the Thracian Chersonese hemidrachms. The monograms, on the other hand, display
some similarities, too. The comparison of those from the database shows that the monogram ЕР
used in only one Chersonesan piece from the British museum (BMC Thrace 185, 35) occurs also
in Parion (one from Gorno Novo selo cat. no. 1575/inv. no. 3046, and three from Troyanovo
hoard, cat. no. 1180/inv. no. 3086-2, 1181/inv. no. 3091-34, cat. no. 1182/3091-15). Numerous
parallels of the letters and monograms could be found in Philip II and Alexander III coin types
(Le Rider 1977): Δ in Philip II posthumous issues of Pella II B from 336/5-329/ BC (no. 365-6), I
in Pella ІІІ (no. 472a-b); Н from Amphipolis І В period (no. 111-115), Λ by Amphipolis ІІВ (no.
428-429); ΔІ by Amphipolis ІІІ (Pl. 45, no. 20). The bronze coins of Philip II and Alexander III
types also show multiple comparisons summarized in the publication of the Drama’s hoard
(Bellinger 1964): in the illustrated Philip’s II types are attested the monograms ΛΕ (no. 77), Е
(no. 59), НР (no. 70), and by Alexander III types – П (no. 122-123), Λ (no. 129), МЕ (no. 131).22
The attested similar monograms raise the question of a possible (chronological?) connection
between the named issues and whether it was not one and the same magistrate responsible for the
series.
The events from 350s-340s were labeled by the campaigns of Philip II in Thrace. According to
the narratives, Amadokos II was among Philip’s allies during his campaign against Kersebleptes
in 352 BC (Theop. fr. 101; Schol. ad Aeschin. 2.81; Йорданов 1998, 38). With respect to this, it
is quite possible to set the beginning of the coinages of the Chersonesan hemidrachms as a
payment (or bribery?) of Philip’s II Thracian allies. Such a financial policy fits into the
diplomatic practices of the Macedonian king, for whom Diodorus (16.8.7) reported he had begun
to issue gold coins to pay mercenaries and to bribe the Greek cities to betray of their natives. The
series of Chersonesan hemidrachms connected with the name of Amadokos could support such
understanding. At the same time, this could also explain the concentration of the coins mainly in
the region under Amadokos II control. As shown on the map (Fig. 2) the deposition of the hoards
does not cross actually east of the Hebros River. The location of the so called Thrace hoard-
IGCH 738 (no. 31 on the map) is relative, as long as we do not have any information about its
uncovering (cf. van Alfen 2018).
The coinage of the Thracian Chersonese continued in the years after the establishment of the
Macedonian rule in Thrace as a conserved type for payment of Thracian mercenaries. This would
explain the long circulation period of this coin type, even in the time of Alexander III and after
323 BC till the end of the century when the new political realities have led to its gradual
replacement and to the introduction of the new currency of Philip and Alexander type.

The numbering is after the publication of Bellinger 1964.

In the first publication D. Nikolov (1961) reports that
the hoard comprises a total of 315 coins – 225 of Philip
II, 87 of Alexander III, 1 of Antiochos (later identified
as Erytrae), 1 of Larissa. Due to sad circumstances,
part of the coin hoard was robbed in late 1970s. The
present numbers represent the preserved hoard content,
showing the loss of a considerable part of Philip’s
issues.
