Abstract
The paper focuses on systematic research of coins of Theodosia dating to the late 5th – early 4th century BC, recently discovered in archaeological site and alsos from private collections. The author proposes an original classifi cation based on archaeological, typological, and theoretical analysis of the material, comparing the results with predecessors’ similar investigations. Variants of coin legend, which differ very widely, play an essential role, so they are also to be discussed in the paper. A human image depicted on early coins is under consideration as well. It is argued that the image should rather be interpreted as a portrayal one. The paper also deals with a concept that political situation in the polis in late 400s BC and alternation of coin emission standards are tightly connected, which is proved by the Olbian coinage of the period.
