- This paper discusses nine posthumous gold staters of Lysimachus type produced at the Black Sea mints of Byzantium, Histria (Istrus) and Callatis. Six of them - two of Byzantium and four of Istrus - are not previously known. From a methodological point of view, this is the first time when a combined study of style, fabric and die analysis has been employed to examine the important role these coins played in the relationships between the Greek cities. Their significance illustrates the close relations between Byzantium and Istrus, here revealed for the first time through die-sharing.
