Ex William Stancomb Collection (Roma E-Sale 69, 16 March 2020), lot 142, acquired from John Morcom, 1973 (Stancomb's ticket included, where he notes the coin as being from "Bement & Bertier de la Garde" [though this coin is not in either Naville sales]). Lot also includes an old collection ticket (ca. early 1900s) in English.The years following the death of Asander until the accession of Aspourgos were a politically unstable time to judge from the scant historical record. Frolova places this issue between the death of Polemo and accession of Aspourgos, and Macdonald notes (p. 54): "Bronze coins bearing the monogram of Polemo exist in so many varieties that it is difficult to imagine all were issued during Polemo's short period of direct rule in the Bosporus, circa 14-8 BC. Bronze coins with Polemo I's monogram may have continued to have been issued even after his death, possibly as late as AD 9/10."

Extremely rare, none in CoinArchives. Gorgion was a son of Gongylos the Eretrian, who, in 475 BC, had been awarded by the Persian King Xerxes I a number of cities of Mysia in return for his betrayal of the Greeks during the Persian Wars (Diod. 11.44). After his father's death (circa 425 BC?), Gorgion was given the towns of Gambrion and Palægambrion, while his brother, Gongylos II, received Myrina and Grynion (Xen. Hell. 3.1.6). The brothers joined the Spartan general Thimbron when he arrived in the region to support the Ionians against the Persian Tissaphernes, but they disappear from the historical record thereafter. The coins of Gorgion are only known from Gambrion, and are exceedingly rare.
