Obol - Datames Tarsus

Datames was the last independent satrap of Cilicia, a Cappadocian-born commander who rose through Persian court service before governing the region and eventually leading one of the most sustained revolts against Artaxerxes II during the Satraps' Revolt of the 360s BC. He was never defeated in the field — his end came through assassination, arranged by a fellow rebel who had made a private deal with the Achaemenid court.

The coinage he issued at Tarsus represents one of the few instances of a non-Greek provincial governor striking in his own name within the Persian imperial system. Sunrise 55 is among the scarcer cited references for this denomination.
