Ancient Greek and Roman coins from Asia Minor


Coin ID #4222

(BC 392-377) Hekatomnos - Diobol

Hekatomnos, Satrap, 392-377 BC. AR Diobol (1.30g). Mylasa mint. Laureate head of bearded man right (Hekatomnos?) / Forepart of bull left, E before. VF. Extremely rare.

Obols and Diobols are well-known from the emission of small coins assigned convincingly to the Carian Satrap Hekatomnos. A. Winzer, Antike Portraitmünzen (2005), No. 13, argues that some portray the Satrap himself, while others Zeus Lepsynos.
