2 Denarii - Ininthimeus

Ininthimeus ruled the Bosporan Kingdom as a client king under Roman suzerainty during the reign of Maximinus Thrax and into the turbulent years of the Gordian succession. The Bosporan copper denominations of this period were heavily debased electrum coinage by this point in the kingdom's history — what the reference catalogs classify as "denarii" bear little relationship to Roman silver of the same name, functioning instead as a local fiduciary currency tied loosely to Roman monetary conventions. The kingdom's dependence on Roman political favor shaped every aspect of its coin production, including the timing of new issues around imperial transitions.
