Orontes (BC 357-352) Diobol334 viewsOrontes, Satrap of Mysia, ca 357-352 BC. AR Diobol (11mm, 1.33g, 12h), struck in Adramytteion (?). Helmeted head of Athena right / Forepart of Pegasos left, OPONTA above. VF. Very rare.

While some of these “solar disk” drachms are attributable to Rhodes, most of the issues have long been recognized as being psudo-Rhodian issues from mints in Caria. The ME issues had originally been assigned to Megiste, but R. Ashton convincingly argues against this speculative attribution (cf. R. Ashton, “The Coinage of Nisyros” in Travaux Le Rider, p. 16, n. 4).
