A Dicastic Pinakion from Bosporus

Beilin Denis V., Fedoseev Nikolay F.

The authors publish a unique bronze plate with the name of Apollonides on it, which they identify as a dikastes’ pinakion. The plate was found at the settlement of Tarhan and had been probably brought to the Bosporan Kingdom as a souvenir. The script allows to date it to the end of the 4th – beginning of the 3rd century BC.
