La diffusion de l’or monnayé au nord du Danube à la fin du IVe siècle av. J.-C. et les guerres des diadoques
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis on the coined gold from the second part of 4th century BC, discovered north of the Danube. Analysis results reveal that Greek gold staters spread north of the Danube in the last two decades of the 4th century BC, in the context of the wars between Alexander’s generals. Gold coins penetrated mainly due to the involvement of the West Pontic cities in these conflicts and the recruitment of mercenaries from populations situated in the Lower Danube region.
