ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Cistophoric were called the silver coins based on the four-drachma coin (tetradrachm) of 10-12 gr, which had a half-open knitted basket with an emerging snake on the front side and two snakes twisted around a quiver on the verso. Τhey came into circulation by the king of Pergamon, Eumenes II (197-159 BC), and flooded western Asia Minor from the second half of the 2nd century BC until the Roman period. |
