VF, brown and green patina, minor adjustment marks on both sides. Rare. The elusive Nikias apparently seized power in Kos in the late Republican period, perhaps taking advantage of turmoil within the Roman Empire. He is usually dated between about 50 BC and the reign of Augustus, but the only evidence for his date is the style of portrait, which seem's to be strongly influenced by the portraiture of Octavian. His coinage, however, has not yet been fully studied, and even the sequence of his mint magistrates has not yet been established.Sep 12, 2005 Kos (BC 285-258) Tetradrachm798 viewsca 285-258 BC.
