36 Peter F.DorceyEETI(AI)2° and HPAKAEOYE (pl. 5, no. 11) are die linked with eachother. Whether they and the remaining EENO magistrate are to be placedbefore or after the AAKON issue is unclear. Prices places EETI(AI),HPAKAEOYE (pl. 5, no. 11) and EENO after the Mithridatic issue.However, there is good reason to suppose that these came before, since theyare similar in style to coins minted by the EKA and OEM magistrates. SinceEENO dies may carry the same portrait of Mithridates as AAKON, itperhaps also dates 88-72. Thus, it would appear that the Mithridatic portraitan AAKON or EENO represents the last coin type issued at Odessos. Theposthumous Alexander silver evidently came to a halt not with the sack ofthe city by the Getae around 50, but with the advent of the Romans in 72.The chronology of the magistrates can be thus summarized:Group I (Classical)KKOIKYPEAKAEAN}}stylistic linkstylistic linkCategory I (before 190)Il1stylistic linkCategory II(probably before 190)Category III(perhaps before 190)die linkdie linkCategory IV(after 190, perhaps tobe classified withGroup II minters)20 Schlessinger, Feb. 11, 1934, no. 166 (auction catalogue).

Posthumous Alexander Tetradrachms of Odessos 37Group II (Barbaric, Hellenistic and Mithridatic)AHieOEAFA()EM(I)EKAEETI(AI)HPAKAEOYE IEENOAAKQN„barbarian portrait"stylistic linkdie linkstylistic linkdie linkMithridatic portraitCategory I (170-120)Category II (120-100)Category III (100-72)Category IV (88-72)In general, the coinage of Odessos was irregularly minted and, as hoardsindicate, never very abundant. The volume of emissions, especially in theearlier period, was relatively small, even in contrast with the tiny output ofnearby Messembria. In all, I know of only fifty obverse dies for the entireseries (see Table I). The range of circulation for these tetradrachms was notvery wide. The majority of hoards with this issue are confined to the BlackSea region (see Table II). Clearly the tetradrachm series was meant for local,not international trade and reflects the relative economic and political insignificanceof Odessos during the Hellenistic period.
