    Stunning! You have one heck of a collection given the time you have been pursuing ancients.

    Guess who also will be posting something from Cilicia this weekend. Nothing as spectacular as this, however.

    simply a gorgeous piece, thank you for sharing image



    I liked this type as soon as I was made aware of it, I used to have a stater from Tarsus of Datames with Ares (maybe) on one side and Larissa (or nymph) on the other side, and then I looked into the other coins from that region and they are really some nice works of art



    the obverse is of course extremely similar to alexander the great silver coinage on the reverse, ba'al vs zeus (greek word that means standard bearer if I remember right), gods had those double names sometimes



    the lovely blue highlights really make it a one of a kind piece
