Excerpt	The author presents a number of 30 silver and bronze coins struck in the Callatis mint in the Hellenistic period. The specimens correspond to several monetary types as follows: Herakles (8), Dionysus/panther (1), Demeter (2), Apollo (2), Dionysus/wreath (7), Artemis (1) and Athena (9). The new information presented in the following pages comes from different environments and has been discovered in the last five decades. So far, in the scientific numismatic bibliography, on a few occasions, existing information on the circulation and especially the presence of Callatis monetary documents of the autonomous period in chora and beyond has been analyzed. The present approach, which at first glance seems unoriginal, in fact goes beyond the previous ones, especially as far as the chora is concerned, since the previous ones represented stages of knowledge synthesized at a given time, according to the information published on various occasions. Clearly, the few archaeological researches known for specific pre-Roman settlements in the Callatis’ chora (with the exception of the systematic ones at Albeşti) have drastically limited the information baggage, depriving us of a real knowledge of the monetary realities in the area with the implicit consequences reflected on the numismatic evidence. In order to highlight the contrast with the previous situation known for chora and not only, we have brought through the new published pieces, important additions and clarifications regarding the presence of Callatis coins of Hellenistic period accompanying various goods in the specific movement of local and area trade along possible Istro-Pontic routes. The four drachms of the Herakles type discovered at Arsa may well constitute a small monetary hoard connected with the known stone fortification near the locality.
