Beschrijving voorzijde Facing head of Arethusa (attributed), rendered in three-quarter view with curly hair bound by a taenia, set within a beaded border. The figure wears a large circular earring and a prominent beaded necklace, with light drapery visible at the neck and shoulders. The artistry reflects the Greco-Persian style characteristic of Cilician satrap coinage of the early 4th century BC.

Aanvullende informatie

Datames served as satrap of Cilicia under the Achaemenid crown before eventually turning against it — one of the more dramatic defections of the fourth century BC. His revolt against Artaxerxes II, launched sometime around 372 BC, made him a fugitive administrator still issuing coins in his own name from territory he technically no longer controlled. He was assassinated around 362 BC through a conspiracy reportedly orchestrated by Artabazus.

The SNG France specimens (nos. 310–311) remain the primary reference points for attributing this denomination to his issues specifically.
