Kyzikos (BC 530-480) Trihemiobol456 viewsca 480-450 BC. AR Tetrobol (9mm, 1.55g). Head of tunny right / Quadripartite incuse square divided perpendicularly. VF, toned. Extremely rare. Liles Coll.; ex Rosen Coll. (not in prior M&M or NFA sales).
This coin is from the same obverse die as the following lot (as well as the Rosen Sale 151 coin), and all three appear to form a transitional issue bridging the earlier archaic coinage with the early classical silver issues of Kyzikos. Their reverses show that the mint was experimenting with new reverse types. While the present coin has the usual, perpendicularly divided, quadripartite incuse, the following coin has a diagonally divided square. Finally, on the third piece (Rosen Sale 151), the incuse is divided such that a large K is formed by the lines, supplemented by two pellets and two small lines in one segment. Sep 30, 2013

Autophradates (BC 380-355) Trihemiobol723 viewsAutophradates, Satrap of Sparda (Lydia and Ionia), circa 380s-350s BC. AR Diobol(?) (10mm, 1.01g, 10h). Head left, wearing satrapal cap / Head of horse left; OATA above, Î O monogram to lower left. VF, dark find patina. Very rare.
Autophradates distinguished himself in the Great Satraps Revolt (365-360 BC) by supporting Artaxerxes II and imprisoning the satrap of Lydia and Ionia, Artabazos (Dem. Aristoc. 671). In 333 BC, Autophradates, along with his fellow-commander, Pharnabazos, took over the Persian fleet and completed the siege of Mytilene, which had been begun by Memnon. In the Greek revolts which arose in the Aegean and western Asia Minor as a result of Alexander III’s victories, Autophradates tried to return these areas to Persian control (Arr. Anab. 2.1; Arist. Pol. 2.4.10). Little else is known of his subsequent career, although it is possible that he was among those satraps who presented themselves before Alexander at Zadracarta (Arr. Anab. 3.23).
