ASIA.

BOSPORUS.

The autonomous coinage of Gorgippia and Phanagoria, the chief cities (on the Asiatic side) of
the district known as the Cimmerian Bosporus, bear a close resemblance, both in style and fabric,
to the more recent issues of Panticapaeum on the European side of the Straits. The geographical
arrangement adopted in the present work, and by all numismatists, unfortunately necessitates the
separation of the coins of the Asiatic from those of the European portion of the Bosporus. (See
Tauric Chersonesus, p, 237.)

Agrippia Caesareia. Known only from inscriptions and coins (Ste-
phani, Ant. du .Bo-sp. Cimm., Inscr., 28, and Compte rendu de la Commission
Imp. Arch., i860, pp. 104-106.) Friedlander {Num. Zeit., ii. 280) thinks
that Agrippias and Caesareia were names temporarily borne by Phanagoria.
