| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhoemetalces ruled the Bosporan Kingdom as a client king under Roman authority, and this stater reflects that dependency precisely — Bosporan gold coinage of this period functioned as a local prestige issue whose legitimacy was inseparable from imperial sanction. The kingdom's position controlling grain shipments through the Cimmerian Bosporus made maintaining Roman goodwill an economic necessity, not merely a political one.
The Anokhin sequence places this among a tightly defined group, with varieties 1676 and 1677 distinguished by die alignment and minor punch details.
