Leukon I of Bosporus (389 - 349 BC), also known as Leuco and Leuko ((ギリシア語:Λεύκον A')) was a Spartocid king of the Cimmerian Bosphorus kingdom. His father was Satyros I (407 - 387 BC), and he was succeeded by his son Spartokos III (347 - 342 BC). He was noted in antiquity as a strategist and a disciplinarian. In the writings of Aeneas Tacticus, ''How to Survive under Siege'' (Greek: Περὶ τοῦ πῶς χρὴ πολιορκουμένους ἀντέχειν) he dismissed his guards who owed gambling debts, because their loyalty could be doubted during a city siege. He continued the war of his father against Theodosia and Chersonesus with the goal of annexing all the Greek colonies in the Bosporus. He also made Sindike his vassal, and in an inscription (see Epigraphy) from Nymphaion he is described as "''archon'' of the Bosporus, Theodosia, all Sindike". Leukon also initiated a semi-fraudulent coinage reform in which he recalled all coins from the region to be minted into new coins with double the face value. ==See also== * Cimmerian Bosporus * List of Kings of Cimmerian Bosporus * Sindi people * 4th century BC 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leukon of Bosporus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
