| Aanvullende informatie |
Datames served as satrap of Cilicia under the Achaemenid crown before defecting and leading one of the most sustained revolts of the so-called Satraps' Rebellion in the 360s BC. He managed to hold out against Persian forces longer than any other rebel satrap, which makes his coinage — struck in his own name rather than the king's — a direct act of political declaration. He was eventually assassinated around 362 BC through a conspiracy allegedly engineered by Artabazus.
The SNG France specimens catalogued at 278–281 show variation consistent with multiple working dies, unsurprising for a provincial mint operating under wartime pressure.
