Sažetak

This work focuses on the enigma of Adriatic
Korkyra in the 6th century BC, which is mentioned
briefly in certain sources. Korkyra coins have sparked
particular interest; the number of examples of this
coinage recently grew by one, which was found in
the Liburnia hillfort of Budim, near Posedarje. Thus,
there are now six known examples of Korkyra coins.
In a synthesis of the art of Antiquity in Croatia written
in 2002, this author stylistically classified these
coins as Archaic (latter half of the 6th century BC).
But this view did not garner any attention, either critical
or affirmative. Thus, an attempt is made here to
more thoroughly explain the Archaic dating, based on
stylistic comparisons. The Archaic dating of the coins
does not, however, resolve the question of the Cnidian
colony’s actual location.
