Obol - Mazaeus Myriandrus

正面描述	Bearded male figure, identified as Baaltars (the city god of Tarsus), seated left upon a throne with voluted back, wearing a helmet and an elaborately decorated garment rendered with stippled scale-like detailing. The enthroned deity holds what appears to be a sceptre or similar attribute in one hand, with a bunch of grapes or floral element visible to the right of the figure. The composition fills the irregularly shaped flan, executed in the bold relief characteristic of Cilician satrapal coinage of the 4th century BC.

附加信息	Mazaeus governed Cilicia under Artaxerxes III and later Darius III, making him one of the longest-serving and most politically durable satraps of the Achaemenid west. His coinage from Myriandrus — a coastal trading port near the mouth of the Amanus passes — reflects the commercial demands of a region that funneled Levantine trade inland toward Mesopotamia. When Alexander crossed into Cilicia in 333 BC, Mazaeus did not fight him there; he withdrew, and the mint effectively ceased under his authority shortly after Issus.
