Some Gold Cypriote Coins ?
Μάρκου, Ευαγγελινή
Άρθρο σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό
2009
For quite a long time the attribution of gold coins, dated to the fourth century BCE and with the types of a horse and a ram, was disputed between Cyprus and Cyrenaica because numismatic evidence could assign them to either region. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these coins and to examine the iconography, the weight standard and the coin legend. Although the legend is obscure and the weight of the coins can apply to both areas’ weight standards, the iconography does not support the attribution of the coins among the issues of the kings of the Cyprus and favors Cyrenaica.
