Informazioni aggiuntive	Aspurgus founded the dynasty that would govern the Bosporan Kingdom under Roman client-king status for the next three centuries, having consolidated power after eliminating rival claimants — likely including members of his own family — around the turn of the first millennium. This issue falls precisely within the transitional years when he was securing recognition from Augustus, a relationship that defined Bosporan coinage policy for generations. The Anokhin and MacDonald references place this among a tightly clustered series of small copper fractions whose attribution to specific regnal years remains contested among specialists.
