Two hoards of Bosporan coins of the 1st century BC from the ancient settlement of Poljanka (Kerch)

1 This article was already with the Editor of Hermathena when its British co-author discovered that without his knowledge Frolova was in the process of publishing its findings, albeit in briefer compass, as part of 'Towards a History of Bosporan Coinage (1st Century B.C.)', Ancient Civilizations 3.2 (1996) pp.151-68. He has therefore taken the opportunity of revising the paper and correcting the errors that Frolova's version contains. *V.K. Golenko & A.A.

Despite the fact that the two groupings were not found together, Frolova, op. cit. p. 161, chooses to regard them as a single hoard. 3 A.A.
