Eubulus (banker)

Eubulus (Greek: Εὔβουλος Euboulos; fl.

4th-century BCE) was a banker from Bithynia, a region on the south shore of the Black Sea.

He once lent money to a Persian official, taking the lands of Assos and Atarneus in Aiolis (Aeolis) in Asia Minor as security, and thus became ruler of the two realms.

[1] He is most famous for his connection to his slave Hermias, who inherited the position of ruler of the city.
