Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Forme épigraphique inhabituelle au droit beaucoup plus rare avec la titulature complète du roi. C’est pour cette raison que ce type est attribué au début du règne de Sauromates Ier car on le retrouve associé avec cette légende la tête de Nerva (BMC. 1).
Ribbons of type 3. Unusual epigraphic form on the obverse, much rarer, with the full title of the king. It is for this reason that this type is attributed to the beginning of the reign of Sauromates I because it is found associated with this legend, the head of Nerva (BMC. 1)

Historical background
BOSPORUS - KINGDOM OF BOSPORUS - SAUROMATES I
(93-123)
Sauromates I succeeded in 90 to his father Rheskuporis I who, like him, bears the names of Tiberios Julios (for Tiberius Julius) while his grandfather, Kotys I (45-63) had borne the nicknames of Tiberios Claudios (for the Emperor Claudius), then Neronos Claudios (in honor of Nero). The kingdom of the Bosphorus was annexed by the Romans between 63 and 68. It was returned by Vespasian in 68 for the benefit of Rheskuporis I (69-93). Sauromates I reigned under the emperors Domitian (81-96), Nerva (96-98), Trajan (97-117) and Hadrian (117-138). On his death, Kotys II (123-133) succeeded him.
