    Here are images of some coins of the North Black Sea region and the Kingdom of the Bosporus. That kingdom included Crimea (formerly in Ukraine, now annexed by Russia) and its hinterland. Many of their coins have their king on one side and a Roman emperor on the other. (Usually the portraits are terrible.)

    Here are five coins, including portraits of Tiberius, Claudius, and Agrippina II. For details, attributions, prices, and whether they have already sold (which I mark clearly there), see my page
