<p>[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8274730, member: 26430"]Here’s a coin that went from being on the coast of the Aegaean (Ionia, Erythrae) to the coast of the Black Sea (Bithynia, Herakleia-Pontika) when Wolfgang Fischer-Bossert reattributed the type in 2020:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Fischer-Bossert, Wolfgang.</b> 2020. “Die Elektronprägung mit dem Herakleskopf: Herakleia Pontike, nicht Erythrai.” <i>Numismatische Zeitschrift</i> 126 (2020), pp. 15–164. <a href="https://www.academia.edu/45579782/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/45579782/" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/45579782/</a></p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4">“This article features a full die-study of the series of electrum hectae hitherto attributed to Erythrae in Ionia.
