Kilikia Uncertain (BC 4th cent) Pegasos - Obol726 viewsca 375-333 BCE. AR Obol (0.55g, 9h). Diademed head of Zeus Karneios right, with ram's horn at forehead / Pegasos flying right; uncertain letter below. Good VF, dark toning. Both types completely unknown in the Samarian series. This surprising Samarian obol combines a Zeus Karneios head that must have been influenced by the types of Kyrene and a Pegasos from the ubiquitous Corinthian staters. Neither seem to have much of a direct connection with Samaria.1 comments06/12/05 at 17:43Dimitry: CNG identified this coin as Samarian, but its style, fabric and weight seems to point more to Cilici...

Tarsos (BC 425-400) Stater1223 viewsca 425-400 BC. AR Stater (10.35g). Bellerophon riding Pegasos left, spearing Chimera below / The God Nergal, standing left and holding axe, ear of corn to left, small tree to right, 'NRGL-TRZ' = Nergal? Tarsos in Aramaic characters above. Extremely rare and interesting. Attractive dark tone, EF. Ex NAC Sale 10 (1997), lot 253. Nergal was a fearsome Mesopotamian god associated with death; he reigned in the underworld and was the protector of men against pestilence and war. His name survives not only on coinage, but on Akkadian and Elamite inscriptions, and seemingly also in the names of high-ranking Assyrian officials and a Babylonian king of the early 7th cent. BC, Nergal-ushezib. The small tree may be the "sacred tree" that is often the focal point of ceremonies depicted on Neo-Assyrian reliefs and seals.1 comments12/08/04 at 06:26Dimitry: Although placed at 390 BC by NAC (probably based on Mildenberg's article), the style and iconography...     22 coins on 1 page(s)
