The dependence of Chersonese from the Seleucids and at the same time from Bosporos allows another interpretation of the Chersonesan coinage in the period in question. Bosporan King Perisades III gained influence over Chersonese due to some agreements that remains unknown to us. Iconography of Chersonesan coins from 187–175 BC shows the Bosporan ruler’s attributes, namely the images of a griffin and a gorytos on the lower denominations. On the senior denomination of silver coins there is an image of the head of Parthenos and a butting bull, the latter previously known when Chersonese was owned by Bosporos. Obviously, there was some kind of alliance, not only with Seleukos IV, but also with Philip V of Macedon in the person of the Bosporan King Perisades III, determining the policy of Chersonese and reflecting on the coins.
