Olbia or Olvia was founded in 663 BC by Greek settlers. The Greek colony, which was very important from a commercial point of view, survived for about 1000 years. In the 5th century BCE, when the city was visited by the historian Herodotus, bronze coins were struck in the form of jumping dolphins. [2] Compared to the round coins common in the Greek world, these coins were quite unusual; This form of coins is said to have been derived from sacrificial signs from the Temple of Apollo in Olbia.
