Greek Paphlagonia Kromna [ΚΡΩΜΝΑ]
The coinage of the minor Paphlagonian city of Kromna dates to around the middle of the 4th century BC and consists solely of coins that are often termed drachms [but are more likely to be Persic tetrobols] and a single series of bronzes. They were all issued around the middle of the 4th Century BC, after which time the city joined with the other colonies of Sesamos, Cytoros, and Tion to form the new community of Amastris.
The tyrant of Amastris in circa 265-260 BC presented the city to Ariobarzanes of Pontus, rather than submit to domination by Heraclea, and it remained in the Pontic kingdom until its capture by Lucius Lucullus in the Second Mithridatic War.
