Historical background

AIOLIS - CYME

(2nd century BC)

Cymé, today Sandakli, one of the most important cities of the Aeolian coast, was located south of Myrhina. It had a port and was founded by Locrians. She herself is at the origin of the foundation of Side in Pamphylia and of Cumae in Campania. It is the homeland of Hesiod. Stephanophoric coinage was the subject of a study by JM Oakley, Wreathed Tetradrachms of Kymé published by the ANS. in MN.27, (1982) which lists several hundred specimens, the majority of which come from the great find of Cilicia discovered in 1973 CH. I and which contained more than five thousand tetradrachms.
