| Additional information |
Aspurgus consolidated Bosporan power during these years by simultaneously maintaining client-king status under Augustus while suppressing rival dynastic claims along the northern Black Sea littoral. His coinage from this period documents that political balancing act — he struck in his own name while Roman political authority was being quietly acknowledged in the royal titulature. The copper assarion series attributed to this reign is catalogued across Anokhin, MacDonald, and the Bosporos corpus with minor discrepancies in die linkage and precise regnal dating.
