| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhescuporis V ruled the Bosporan Kingdom as a Roman client king during a period of acute instability on the northern Black Sea coast, when Gothic and Herulian pressure was dismembering Rome's Danubian frontier. By the 320s AD, the Bosporan electrum stater had been debased so thoroughly over generations that issues like this one — struck in essentially pure copper — retained the stater denomination in name only. The fiction of precious metal coinage had completely collapsed.
Anokhin's sequencing places this among the terminal issues of Rhescuporis V's reign, shortly before Bosporan royal coinage ceases altogether.
