Noi date privind viaţa religioasă la Histria, Callatis şi Tomis din perspectiva iconografiei monetăriilor locale (secolele V-I a. Chr.)

  • Subiect: The autonomous coins of the three west-Pontic cities in Dobruja comprise the totality of types and variants of monetary emissions produced in the workshop of each centre, during the time of political and economic independence. They have been an expression of sovereignty, of the capacity of each colony to create its own payment instrument, which could be utilized also to gain profit on the local market first, and then, if it was validated and accepted, on a larger scale (inter-chora and even farther). Its own legitimating by means of the coin offered prestige and prosperity. The iconographic representations correspond to some deities, probably of great importance for the population of the city and not only, being accompanied by minimal elements which define the characteristics and attributes, which are universal for the entire Greek world. Naturally, the presence of some deities on coins depends, among others, of the significance and religious symbolism of the city, and the religious life in Histria is known to have been very dynamic. They have issued silver and bronze coins, whose values could have been recognized as such on the local market or outside it, in the indigenous and Greek environment.
