Æ - Sariakes

Sariakes ruled a Skythian kingdom in the Pontic steppe region during a period of significant pressure from the expanding Pontic kingdom under Pharnakes I, whose westward campaigns disrupted several smaller regional dynasties in the mid-second century BC. His coinage is sparsely documented, and the reference range spanning nearly fifty catalogue numbers suggests considerable die variation across what was likely a modest but active mint operation.
