Though the researchers discovered the coins in 2019, they weren’t able to examine them until recently due to the Covid-19 pandemic.In the statement, as translated by CNN’s Jack Guy, Özer describes the coins, which were minted in Southern Italy, as not only a “very special and unique collection,” but “the most special silver coin find of recent times.”Dated to between 75 and 4 B.C., the coins bear the im- ages of Roman emperors and politicians, including Julius Caesar, Marcus Brutus and Mark Antony, writes Live Science’s Laura Geggel. When studying artifacts, researchers found that many of the coins were well-preserved, with their engrav- ings still legible. Özer theorizes that the denarii and cistophori were part of a coin album—a compilation of money por- traying rulers from the late Roman Republic—that belonged to an elite Roman soldier. Some of the coins were more val- uable than others.“A high-ranking soldier [likely] came to Aizanoi ... and he must have buried these coins here for a rea- son we do not know yet.According to Özer, each coin “tells a different story” drawn from mythology and popular lore. One token, for instance, portrays the Trojan hero Aeneas carrying his father, Anchises, on his back. As Mark Cartwright wrote for Ancient History Encyclopedia in 2018, denarii were the Romans’ most popular coins between 211 B.C. and the third century A.D. Cistophori were rarer than denarii, as they were only in circulation around Asia Minor, according to the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities. The Daily Sabah reports that the team uncovered the coins as part of a broader restoration effort that began in 2011. Dubbed the Aizanoi Penkalas Project, the campaign seeks to offer riverboat tours that enable visitors to mirror the ancient Romans’ maritime journeys while exploring Aizanoi’s ancient ruins. Other artifacts discovered at the site include 1,000 Roman stones and sculptures and traces of a settlement dated to 3000 B.C., noted the Daily Sabah in a separate 2020 article. According to the Anadolu Agency, Özer and her colleagues plan to soon publish their findings in a scientific journal. For now, the coin collection will remain on display at the Museum of Anato- lian Civilizations in the Turkish capital of Ankara. North America's second bitcoin ETF launches in Canada today On the same day bitcoin’s market cap crossed US$1 trillion for the first time, investors got a second ETF option with the launch of the Evolve Bitcoin ETF on the TSX. It’s the second bitcoin ETF to launch in Canada this week, following the Purpose Bitcoin ETF (BTTC.B) (BTCC.U) yesterday. It’s also the sec- ond of its kind in North America, with the U.S. still not approving one. Canadian dollar-denominated unhedged units trade under ticker symbol EBIT and U.S. dollar-denominated unhedged units under EBIT.U with an annual management fee of 1 per cent. EBIT ended the day up 6.7% with a volume of 355,000 shares. EBIT.U was up 7.6% with 103,000 shares trading hands. “The recent institutional adoption has helped further legitimize the progress of bitcoin,” said Raj Lala, Evolve President and CEO in a release. “Being able to offer an ETF which holds physical bitcoin is a real game changer in Canada. Now investors may participate in bitcoin via their brokerage accounts within their RRSP and TFSA. Bitcoin has proven to be a store of value that is uncorrelated to other major asset clas- ses – and has now emerged as an asset class itself.” Captions will look like this 0:07 5:25. Like the BTCC, EBIT’s ETF structure means it aims to track the price of bitcoin better than closed-end funds and exchange traded notes, because of the premium that comes with those products. Evolve says EBIT doesn’t rely on derivatives or futures contracts. The daily net asset value (NAV) will be based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate. The bitcoin the ETF buys will be held in a cold wallet. Gemini Trust Company will act as the sub-custodian in respect of EBIT’s holdings of bitcoin. Bitcoin got a stamp of approval from Tesla earlier this month when the company announced it was buying US$1.5 billion of the notoriously volatile cryptocurrency. But earlier this week the Bank of Canada’s deputy governor Timothy Lane warned cryptocurrencies are a “speculative mania” and a “flawed method of payment”. The price of bitcoin is up 81 per cent this year and topped US$53,000 US today. Jessy Bains is a senior reporter at Yahoo Finance Canada. Follow him on Twitter @jessysbains.

The seal could be up to 3,000 years old, according to initial observations, and it may shed light on the history of the region during the Hellenistic period. Archeological work in the ancient city has been ongoing since 2004. The current excavation team is under the leadership of Burcu Erciyas, a professor at Middle East Technical University (METU). Erciyas believes that the recent discovery can reveal the international importance that the city of Comana held during the Hellenistic period.“ We have discovered many new findings in 2020 with extensive excavation work. Maybe the most interesting one of these has been the scarab from Egypt, which is a beetle-shaped seal or amulet adorned with hieroglyphic inscriptions. This is an important finding regarding Comana’s international relations,” Erciyas told Anadolu Agency (AA). She also provided details on the age of the seal. “We studied the hieroglyphs on the seal and the inscribed name be- longed to Thutmose III, the sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled between the years of 1479 B.C.

Ahora se han de enumerar sus partes. Aunque se piense que esto es también una empresa interminable y que no ha de tratarse a la ligera sin ser objeto de una cierta crítica, en ninguna clase de asuntos es más justa la indulgencia, salvo que se tenga por extraño que uno que ha nacido hombre no posea todos los conocimientos humanos. Por eso, no seguiré a ningún autor en particular, sino en cada sección al que considere más fiable, ya que ha sido común en casi todos explicar con mayor diligencia los lugares desde los que estaban escribiendo. No rechazaré, por tanto, ni criticaré a ninguno. Se pondrán los escuetos nombres de los lugares y con toda la brevedad que se me alcance, dejando su notoriedad y las causas de ella para las secciones correspondientes.

King and founder of the so-called Kingdom of Pontus, ruled 302-266 B.C. Άλλα Ονόματα Mithradates I Ktistes Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης (probably) 350 B.C. – Cios (Gemlik) Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 266 B.C. – (probably) Amaseia (Amasya) Κύρια Ιδιότητα King and founder of the Kingdom of Pontus 1. Birth-Family Mithridates I Ktistes was born around 350 B.C., probably in Cius (Gemlik).1 His father's identity is a controversial point. A manuscript variant in Diodorus Siculus says that he was Mithridates (II of Cios), but Diodorus and other authors say that he was Ariobarzanes, brother of the former; the second possibility seems more plausible.2 The ancient sources consider that the Pontic dynasty was descendent either from Cyrus the Great, or from Darius I, or from one of the "Seven Persians" which murdered Gaumata.3 Those three options are compatible, for Darius himself was one of the Seven and tried to appear as belonging to the same lineage with Cyrus. This genealogy was an aspect of the Pontic Kings' propaganda, although it may have had a real ground: Darius would have given to his son, Gobrias, the government of the region of Mariandinya, in Bithynia. The daughter of Gobrias would have married with Artabazus, son of Pharnaces, another of the Seven.

Alexander Watkins Terrell, a noted Texas politician and judge, acquired the stone on a visit to Troy in 1894 and donated it to the University of Texas in 1898.2 At the time Terrell was in charge of the American legation in Constantinople and was visiting Frank Calvert, one of his consular agents, who lived at the Dardanelles and owned the site of ancient Troy.3 Marble block. Left and top edges preserved, others broken away. P.H. 0.292 m.; P.W. 0.271 m.; P.Th. 0.130 m.; L.H. 0.023-0.029 m. first line; 0.010-0.017 m. in wreath. The top of the stone has a small cutting, 0.035 m. square and 0.022 m. deep, located 0.075 m. from the left edge and 0.062 m. back from the front face. See pl. V. The delta in DU%AGORAN is less than a centimeter from the left edge of the stone. The left surface shows marks of a claw chisel. There is a smooth strip, 0.05 m wide, at the front edge of the surface.

    LA DEGRADACIÓN DE LA REINA GLAFIRA Álvaro Ibáñez Chacón Universidad de Málaga Resumen Este artículo analiza las fuentes literarias y epigráfi cas relativas a la reina Glafi ra, madre de Arquelao de Capadocia, para investigar las causas y el fi n de las negativas caracterizaciones que se han transmitido acerca de la reina de Capadocia, unas consideraciones probablemente infundadas y cuyo origen está en la mala interpretación de las fuentes y en la propia visión que los antiguos tenían de las mujeres. Palabras clave: Glafi ra, Arquelao de Capadocia, Historia Antigua, mujer en Roma. Abstract «Misrepresenting Queen Glafyra». Th is article analyzes the literary and epigraphic sources about Queen Glafi ra, Archelaus of Cappadocia’s mother, to investigate the causes and the origin of the subsequently negative characterizations of the Cappadocian Queen, probably unfounded considerations whose origin lies in the misinterpretation of the sources and in the vision that the ancients had about women. Key words: Glaphyra, Archelaus of Cappadocian, Ancient History, women in ancient Rome. 11 INTRODUCCIÓN Parece ser que el nombre Γλαφύρα fue muy común en Asia Menor, tal y como se desprende de los restos epigráfi cos1, pero, frente a esas mujeres en cierta medida anónimas y desconocidas para nosotros, hubo al menos dos Glafi ra cuya participación en el devenir de los acontecimientos históricos de su época fue más que relevante: por un lado la Glafi ra hija del Arquelao sacerdote de la importante Comana del Ponto, y, por otro, su nieta homónima, hija del monarca capadocio Arquelao Filopatris, que fue esposa de dos hijos de Herodes y de Juba ii de Mauri- tania2.

    TALANTA XXXII-XXXIII (2000-2001) BOSPORUS ON THE VERGE OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA (OUTLINES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) Sergei Saprykin Generally it was believed that the Bosporan Kingdom suffered a deep social and economic crisis starting in the late 2nd-early 1st century BC. This became much worse after its incorporation into the Pontic Kingdom in the reign of Mithridates VI Eupator in ca. 110-107 BC, and continued until the second half of the 1st century AD. Apparently, the crisis came to an end with the establishment of a local Sarmatian dynasty at Panticapaeum. There is much archaeological evidence on which this conclusion can be based, as well as evidence from the ancient authors. They testify to the devastation and destruction of sites in both the European and Asiatic Bosporus. The ruination of some buildings in cities such as Myrmekion and Panticapaeum was also identified. The time span for the destruction was estimated to be late 2nd century BC-1st century AD, which encompasses all the events con - nected with Mithridatic rule of the Bosporus, the fight of Pharnaces I for his ancestral domain, the struggle between Asander and Mithridates of Pergamum, the rule of Polemo I of Pontus there, his struggle with the Aspurgians, the coming to power of Aspurgus, and the conflict of Mithridates VIII (III of Bosporus) with Rome. Thereafter, as the popular interpretation has it, something of a revival took place in the political, eco - nomic and social life of the Bosporus thanks to Sarmatian influence in all spheres of Bosporan society. This interpretation was long dominant; some still follow it (Gaidukevich 1949, 320-84; cf.

  • Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T
    Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1997 with the assistance of Diane Braund Introduction Pontus The land of Pontus has two main parts, both of which belonged to the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontus in the Hellenistic period. The first is the main ridge of the Pontic mountains and the steep descent to the shore. The lower slopes are thickly wooded, and the shore districts have a humid and rainy climate. In the main Pontic ridge a gap occurs in the hinterland of Amisus (modern Samsun), after which the mountain chain continues at a lower height and with less abrupt slopes (Strabo’s term Paryadres seems to denote the higher part of the chain). As far east as Rhizaion (Rize) Greek settlements along the coast have existed since the sixth century B.C., and in the case of Sinope the seventh. To the south, the Pontic chain is bordered by Armenia Minor, a part of Armenia itself (Late Antique Sper, probably the Syspiritis of the classical authors), and what was to become the Georgian mountainous district of Tao, drained by the R. Glaukos (Oltu Çay) and the Tortum Çay. The district of Chaldia, the Gümüşhane basin, is difficult to classify, particularly in classical times, as there is no evidence that it belonged either to Pontus (in a geographical or administrative sense), to Armenia Minor, or to Armenia itself. The Roman empire made no effort to control the interior of Chaldia until the reign of Justinian. The second part of Pontus is the series of fertile inland plains, joined by relatively low chains of hills, in the river systems of the Iris (Kızıl Irmak) and the lower Halys (Yeşil Irmak).
