Abstract
The ancient Pontic city of Trapezus (now called Trabzon, in Turkey) issued a bronze coinage under the Roman Empire (between the reign of Trajan - 98-1 17 A.D. - and the reign of Philip - 244-249 A.D. - to be more precise). First of all, this article aims at putting the ancient city back in its historical context (Antiquity) and also in its geographical context (the South-East basin of Pontus-Euxinus and the Northern littoral of the Anatolian Peninsula). Nowadays, the following corpus lists a range of 259 items spread over 20 issues. To finish, some statistics will allow us to characterize the Trapezus monetary workshop, which more or less functioned like most of its neighbours', and whose purpose was to supply the city and its area with divisonal coins.
