Drachm - Mithridates VI Panticapaeum

正面描述	Diademed head of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, portrayed in the guise of Alexander the Great or Herakles, with flowing, wavy hair swept back from the forehead and falling in thick locks behind the neck. The youthful effigy displays idealized Hellenistic portraiture characteristic of the late 2nd century BC Pontic royal coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly craggy at the edges, typical of hammered Bosporan silver of this period. No legend appears on the obverse.

附加信息	Mithridates VI of Pontus absorbed the Bosporan Kingdom around 115–110 BC after the death of Parisades V, who reportedly ceded control rather than face a Scythian threat he could not manage alone. Panticapaeum, as the kingdom's principal mint city on the Crimean coast, immediately began producing coinage under Pontic authority — this drachm belongs to that transitional consolidation period, when Mithridates was simultaneously building the Black Sea empire that would eventually bring him into catastrophic conflict with Rome.
