Commentary


Dimensions (longueur 25 mm ; largeur 10 mm). Signe pré-monétaire coulé. 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. Les rédacteurs du SNG. de la collection Stancomb de la Mer Noire et de sa région attribuent ces signes pré ou para-monétaires à Olbia où elles ont été trouvées régionalement. Huit exemplaires sont publiés (WSC. 334 à 341 avec des poids compris entre 0,62 g et 2,02 g).
Dimensions (length 25 mm; width 10 mm). Cast pre-monetary sign. This dolphin is a testimony at 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. The editors of the SNG. of the Stancomb collection of the Black Sea and its region attribute these pre- or para-monetary signs to Olbia where they were found regionally. Eight examples are published (WSC. 334 to 341 with weights between 0.62 g and 2.02 g)

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.
