Skythia_Borysthenes_Arrowhead_2019-11_bg.jpg
Skythia, Borysthenes.Skythia, Borysthenes. c 500 BC. AE Arrowhead (5.35 gm). Anepigraphic. Arrowhead proto-coinage. Bilobate and axial spine. Green patina. / Proto-coinage of this type is known from the island of Borysthenes (Berezean) at the mouth of the Dnieper River and adjacent areas on the mainland. The arrowhead is associated with Apollo the Healer, the patron deity of Borysthenes, colonized by the Milesians in 7th c. BC. In the 5th c. BC, a competing colony was established at nearby Olbia, which soon absorbed them. Olbians worshipped Apollo Delphinos and minted the closely-related "dolphin money" in his honor. VF. Early cast coinage. cf. Sergei L. Solovyov, 'Monetary Circulation and the Political History of Archaic Borysthenes', Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia, Vol. 12, N. 1-2, 2006, p. 66, fig. 3.

SNG BM Black Sea 530

Olbia was founded in the 7th century BC by colonists from Miletus. Its harbor was one of the main emporia on the Black Sea for the export of cereals, fish, and slaves to Greece, and for the import of Attic goods to Scythia.

During the reign of Alexander the Great, Olbia was attacked by the Zopyrion, who had been made a governor either of Thrace or of Pontus by Alexander. For this purpose, he collected a force of thirty thousand men.They marched along the Black Sea coast and besieged Olbia. But the Olbians "gave freedom to their slaves, granted the rights of citizenship to foreigners, changed promissory notes and thus managed to survive the siege". They also made an alliance with the Scythians. Zopyrion, lacking resources to continue the siege, decided to retreat. On his way back, Scythians destroyed his army by constant raids. Defeat was probably accomplished beyond the Danube by Getae and Triballi avenging Alexander's devastation of their lands in 335 BC. Zopyrion perished with his troops in the winter at the end of 331 BC.
