Commentary
Ce type de bronze était daté précédemment des années 300-250 avant J.-C. Il faut en abaisser drastiquement la chronologie jusqu’au Ier siècle avant J.-C..
This type of bronze was previously dated to the years 300-250 BC. The chronology must be drastically lowered to the 1st century BC.

Historical background
TAURIC CHERSONESE - PANTICAPEUM
(4th-1st century BC)
Founded in the 6th century BC, Panticapée (Kertch) was a colony of Miletus, located west of the Cimmerian Bosphorus. The head of the satyr Pan adorns the rights and constitutes a play on words with the name of the city according to the legend. In fact, it is Silene. Before being called Panticapée, the city would have borne the name of Apollonia. The coinage sometimes presents homotypes with the coinage of Apollonia Pontica. The region of Panticapée was famous for its immense reserves of gold immortalized by Herodotus (III, 116).
