There is only one mint in the ancient Greek world whose name begins ΔΑΡ - Dardanos in the Troad. The coinage of Dardanos is scarce, and nearly all known types depict either cocks or horsemen, or a combination of both, until the very final issues struck during the late third and second centuries BC. This type appears to be completely new for the mint. The identification of the hero on the reverse is not certain, but other (albeit later) issues from the region do depict the hero Hektor in similar poses (see, e.g, Bellinger, Troy T162-4 and T212 [Ilium]).

The reverse legend makes this a very interesting coin. It is best translated to: "[Coin] of the Laodiceans. By decree of the [Roman] Senate holder of a Neocorate." The Neocorate was a honorary title granted to cities that had established a cult for a Roman emperor. It is as such very common, but to our knowledge Laodikeia is the only mint to explicitly mention the Senate decree on its coins that preceded the honorary title. The Polis consequently rewarded the honor by chosing Roma as a reverse type.
