Cilicia, Tarsos AR Stater. Circa 455-400 BC. The walls of Tarsos, with three turrets visible, each turret surmounted by three merlons / Forepart of bull to right, Key symbol to right; all within incuse square. BMC -; SNG von Aulock -; SNG Copenhagen -; SNG France -; SNG Levante -; Traité -; Casabonne -; MIMAA -; CNG 109, 190 corr. (Asia Minor, uncertain mint). 10.37g, 20mm, 12h. Very Fine. Extremely Rare. The stylistically simple designs of both obverse and reverse of this rare type point to it being one of the very earliest issue of Tarsos. We may of course identify this as a coin of Tarsos based on the use of the 'Key' symbol, as Casabonne calls it, that he argues should be considered as the emblem of the local dynastic power, i.e. that of the syennesis (see Casabonne, Le syennésis cilicien et Cyrus : l'apport des sources numismatiques pp.164). This, together with a rendering of the walls of Tarsos which appear in a more complete form on the later satrapal coinage of Mazaios (the towers always with three merlons) makes the identification certain. That the bull type does not appear ever again at Tarsos is surprising, however we could possibly infer that this is a symbolic representation of wealth, and chosen as an appropriate motif for what was likely a tribute payment made to the city's Achaemenid overlords.

Wreathed female head facing, turned slightly to left / Persian Great King standing to right, with slung bow and quiver, holding dagger in right hand and uncertain object in left, fighting griffin rearing up to left.

Kings of Bithynia, Ziailas Æ17. Circa 250-230 BC. Diademed head right / BA?I?E?? ZIAH?A, trophy of arms, transverse spear behind. RG 8 = T. Reinach, “Essai sur la numismatique des rois de Bithynie,” RN 1887, pl. V, 4; EHC 416; SNG von Aulock 243; SNG Copenhagen -; BMC -. 5.70g, 17mm, 11h. Near Very Fine, dark green patina. Extremely Rare, the second and best preserved example in CoinArchives after the piece sold in Triton XIV (lot 260), and possibly the fifth known, two of which are in museum collections (Berlin and Vienna). From a private German collection. The third king of Bithynia after Nikomedes I, and only the second to strike coinage, little is known of his reign and those scant details we have are from the very few bronze coins such as the present piece that have been found to date. Unlike his predecessor who is known to have issued coins in both silver and bronze in several denominations, Ziailas appears to have only struck this one denomination of one type.

Cyprus, Lapethos AR Stater. Sidqmelek, circa 435 BC. Head of Athena left, wearing crested Corinthian helmet; Phoenician inscription 'King of Lapethos' before / Head of Athena facing, wearing necklace and helmet decorated with bulls horns, each with crest attached, and bull's ears; Phoenician inscription 'of Sidqmelek' around. Bank of Cyprus 1984-01-26; BMC 7-9, pl. VI, 6-8 ; Tziambazis 48; Traité II, 1361-3 and pl. CXXXVI, 12-14. 11.02g, 24mm, 5h. Very Fine. Extremely Rare. From a private German collection. Lapethos, one of the ancient kingdoms of Cyprus, was, according to tradition, founded by Praxandros from Lakonia in the Peloponnesos. However, the city figures little in recorded history; its earliest kings that we know of were Demonikos and Sidqmelek, who reigned in that order, though not necessarily in direct succession. A change from Greek rulers to Phoenician ones occurred at Salamis around this time, which consequently has seen Sidqmelek characterised as a Phoenician interloper, though Christopher Tuplin (Achaemenid Studies, 1996, pp. 46) observes that all of the coins of Lapethos are inscribed in Phoenician down to the time of Alexander, and fathers with Greek names gave their sons Phoenician names, and vice versa, at both at Marion and Salamis. That being said, Kagan (1994) notes that the "changes in type... first to that used by Sidqmelek and then to the coins of Andr- and Demonicus II is quite extraordinary from a numismatic perspective and indicative of some sort of change". Indeed, the depiction of what we assume to be Athena on the reverse of this and other coins of Sidqmelek is decidedly un-hellenic. It is certainly possible, given the nature of the ongoing series of revolts and Athenian interventions in Cyprus in the first half of the 5th century which ended in the sudden withdrawal of the Athenians in 449 BC, that a change of government did occur, with an Achaemenid-backed dynasty taking power, before eventually being overthrown or usurped.

Kings of Elymais, Kamnaskires III, with Anzaze, AR Tetradrachm. Seleukeia on the Hedyphon, circa 82-75 BC.

The Kingdom of Elymais may be simply described as the land between Babylonia and Persis, though very little is known today of it or its kings. For approximately a century after the disintegration of Alexander's empire, the principle city of this region, Susa, and the surrounding lands were ruled by the Seleukids. After Seleukia itself, Susa was the second largest city in Seleukid control. Even after the Parthian conquest of the region, Susa retained a considerable degree of autonomy, maintaining its Greek city-state organisation and eventually gaining apparent independence in 147 BC under Kamnaskires I Megas Soter, whose coins depict him as a Greek prince in Seleukid style, with Greek legends. Over time however, the Greek influence in Elymais appears to have significantly diminished, with both Greek legends and portraiture becoming increasingly blundered, until finally we see the sixth king of this dynasty, Kamnaskires III and his wife and co-regent Anzazes, in distinctly Parthian style.
