Dikaia was a small Thracian coastal settlement whose coinage is poorly documented and rarely appears at auction. The city's name means "just" or "righteous" in Greek — an irony not lost on scholars, given how little is known about its civic institutions. Attribution to Dikaia rather than the better-known Macedonian Dikaia has been a persistent source of debate, and the Bisanthe reference used here reflects one of the few serious attempts to impose order on this difficult series.
