ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The production of the Cherson mint is attested – with interruptions – during the Early, Middle and possibly Late Byzantine periods. Its activity can be connected with the city’s role as an outpost on the empire’s frontier. The mint produced copper coins exclusively; first struck and later cast, they were intended for local circulation. They present particular metrological and iconographic features that distinguish them clearly from the products of other imperial mints. |
