Storia
Arsinoe was a Hellenistic era city in Crete known primarily from the coins it minted. Though its location is not entirely certain, numismatic evidence suggests that it was a Ptolemaic refounding of the city of Rhithymna. This evidence includes stylistic parallels between coins minted by each city as well as the find spots for the Arsinoe coins clustering around Rhithymna. If this identification is accurate, the city would have reverted to its original name at an unknown later point.
