Commentary


Ce dauphin est un témoignage à la frontière entre Numismatique et Archéologie. Considéré comme pré-monétaire, ce type d’objet a pu être utilisé par des populations celtes au contact du monde grec à un moment où la monnaie ne s’est pas encore imposée. Dimensions (longueur 24 mm ; largeur 11 mm). Au droit notre exemplaire semble aussi porter une inscription avec une nageoire visible. Les exemplaires avec inscription sont beaucoup plus rares que les anépigraphes.
This dolphin is a testimony on the border between Numismatics and Archaeology. Considered pre-monetary, this type of object could have been used by Celtic populations in contact with the Greek world at a time when coin had not yet become established. Dimensions (length 24 mm; width 11 mm). On the right our example also seems to bear an inscription with a visible fin. examples with inscription are much rarer than anepigraphs

Historical background


SARMATIA - OLBIA

(6th - 5th century BC)

Olbia as Istros (Istrus) was a Milesian colony, located not far from Borysthenes and Hypanis on Pontus Euxin, equidistant from Tyra and Panticapaeum on the Chersonese of Thrace. Its prosperity came from its strategic geographical position between the Scythian tribes and Pont-Euxin. It experienced its greatest economic expansion in the Hellenistic period. It was finally taken by the barbarians in the 3rd century AD.
