Coins of "unknown people"
When I got my first coin from the collection presented below (found among Kingdom of Bosporus coins I received in a batch), I became intrigued by its unique (so different than other coins) style. I started looking for additional specimens and my collection has been steadily growing.
Unknown to Western Numismatics, these coins have been researched by Russians and Ukrainians dating back to 19-th century when first specimens were found. The origin of these coins has been under ongoing debate without a consensus. There have been different ideas like Slavic, Vandals, Gothic, Roman characteristics or origins of these coins. Many researchers tend to attribute these coins to Gothic tribes that migrated and established themselves in the Crimean region in the 3-rd century AD. Being used to Roman currency, instead of adopting local Bosporan coinage for trade, Goths started minting their own imitations of Roman denarii. According to B.B. Kропоткин (Kropotkin) and Л.H. Казаманова (Kamazanova) all later Gothic imitations of Roman denarii depict on the Reverse walking Mars (walking Mars on the Reverse of Roman denarius).
Recently, there is a new theory about origins of these mysterious coins presented by B.H. Kлещинов (Kleshchinov) who claims that the coins were minted by Sarmatian tribes and Roman soldiers who instead of returning to Rome from their remote outposts assimilated themselves into local Sarmatian tribes. Kleshchinov brings the following evidence to support his theory:
1. Rome established many remote outposts not only in Crimea area (to contol pirates activities in the Black Sea) but also in regions belonging to Sarmatian tribes. Some of the outpost were located so far away that delivery of Roman coinage to pay soldiers for their service was extremely delayed and a need to mint local versions of the Roman denarii raised to accommodate soldiers.
2. There have been finds of specimens of these coins near Roman outposts and in different places in Kuban region (most in theTaman Peninsula where Goths dwelled - making A.Я. Сергеев (Sergeev) to name these coins "Taman Denarii") reaching as far as Northern Caucasus Mountains.
3. Many of Roman soldiers from the remote outposts never returned to Rome but instead assimilated themselves into Sarmatians. Mintage of imitations of Roman Denarii continued.
4. Instead of depicting "Walking Mars" on the Reverse, these coins show "Sarmatian Warrior holding a spear". This could be supported by the finding of a gravestone showing Sarmatian Warrior in that exact position.
Kleshchinov divides the coins into 5 periods:
Period 1: 160 AD - 175 AD. Imitations minted in Silver showing recognizable heads of Roman Emperors (Antoninus Pius and Septimius Severus) on the Obverse with various motifs (including Funeral Pyre) with barbarized legends on edges on the Reverse
Period 2: 175 AD - 200 AD. Imitations minted in Silver showing a barbarized head of Roman Emperor on the Obverse with a motif of Sarmatian Warrior holding a spear (different positions, sometimes in one hand) accompanied by various additions of crescents, dots, crosses etc. on the Reverse
Period 3: 200 AD - 240 AD. Imitations minted in Siler showing a barbarized (degraded) head of Roman Emperor on the Obverse with a motif of Sarmatian Warrior holding a spear in two hands, accompanied by various additions of crescents, dots, crosses etc. on the Reverse
Period 4: 240 AD - 300 AD. Imitations minted in Silver and Bronze showing a barbarized (extremely degraded - sometimes only resembling) head of Roman Emperor on the Obverse with a motif of Sarmatian Warrior holding a spear in two hands, accompanied by various additions of crescents, dots, crosses etc. on the Reverse
Period 5: 300 AD - 350 AD. Imitations minted in Bronze and some Silver showing anthropomorphic or zoomorphic form of a head of Roman Emperor or symbols of a cross on the Obverse with a motif of Sarmatian Warrior holding a spear in two hands, accompanied by various additions of crescents, dots, crosses etc. on the Reverse
