Court of Antiochus

Question: In plate 1 it is called a Dinara. Does this word have any connection whatsoever to the old Roman Denarius? (Denarii)

 

Absolutely, denarius is the root of Dinar, Dinara, etc.

 

Additionally, the British L.s.d. designation (the L represents the pound sign which we yanks do not have on our keyboards) is an abbreviation of the original Latin: libra, solidus, and denarius

Any idea about the second bill?

Modern Ukraine encompasses much of what was the Bosporan Kingdom, Chersonesus and Hylaia. I'd say that its very likely that the ruins are Greek and located in modern Crimea.

You can tell there is Greek influence when you have the P pronounced as an R.
