An Early Fourth Century AD Hoard said to be from Boyabat near Sinop, Northern Turkey
2021
Overview
An early fourth century AD bronze coin hoard, confiscated in 2019 from an illicit antique dealer in Boyabat near Sinop (northern Turkey), is kept today in the Museum of Sinop. Boyabat is a township in the province of Sinop, located in a river valley parallel to the southern Black Sea coast, c.100 km south of Sinop over the coastal mountain range. Archaeologically speaking, Boyabat is not very well known in the Greek or Roman eras; most of the archaeological surface finds are of the Byzantine and Post Byzantine periods. The exact provenance of the hoard is not known, since its alleged find spot, \"Boyabat\", could have been adduced by the seller, perhaps because he wanted to hide its true origin. The hoard might rather originate from Sinop or the surrounding area along the southern Black Sea coastline which is located far from the coastline in the rugged areas of ancient south-eastern Paphlagonia.
