Cercinitis was a small Greek colonial settlement on the western coast of Crimea, subordinate for much of its existence to the more powerful Chersonesus. Its independent bronze coinage is sparse and poorly documented — the city lacked the economic weight to sustain a robust mint, and surviving pieces are genuinely scarce in any condition. The Anokhin and HGC references place this issue within a period of growing Scythian pressure on Greek settlements throughout the northwestern Pontic region, a tension that would eventually end Cercinitis as a functioning polis.
