Paerisades V

The Dynastic history of the Bosporan Kingdom in the 2nd century BCE

This article presents a classification of the “royal” coins of the Bosporan Kingdom of the 2nd century BCE. The obtained numismatic data, combined with an analysis of epigraphic sources, allow for a more precise reconstruction of the rulers’ degrees of kinship and the order of succession, resulting in a proposed dynastic hystory (chronologically covering the period from the late 3rd century BCE to the end of the reign of Paerisades V).
