AR DRACHM MUSEUM REPRODUCTION SINOPE IN PAPHLAGONIA, MILETOS 490-425 B.C. ANCIENT GREEK SILVER COIN HEAD OF SEA-EAGLE ON OBVERSE
Silver Greek Drachma (15.3mm, 2.61g.) Sinope in Paphlagonia, Miletos, struck 490-425 B.C. References: SNG BM Black Sea 1359-63; SNG Copenhagen 272; HGC 7, 384. Long used as a Hittite port, Sinope was re-founded as a Greek colony by Miletus in the 7th century B.C. Sinope flourished as the Black Sea port of a caravan route that led from the upper Euphrates valley. The city escaped Persian domination until the early 4th century B.C. In 183 B.C. it was captured by Pharnaces I and became the capital of the kingdom of Pontus. Lucullus conquered Sinope for Rome in 70 B.C., and Julius Caesar established a Roman colony there, Colonia Julia Felix, in 47 B.C. It remained with the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantines). It was a part of the Empire of Trebizond from the sacking of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204 until the capture of the city by the Seljuk Turks of Rûm in 1214.
This issue was cast in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (ancient Roman province Philippopolis). It goes without saying you always get the exact item in the picture.
Diogenes the Cynic, also known as Diogenes of Sinope, was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic philosophy. His father was a banker responsible for minting coins for the Sinope. When Diogenes took to "defacement of the currency" he was banished from the city.
