Stater - Mazaeus

正面描述	The Great King, identified as the Achaemenid ruler, seated in three-quarter view to right upon an ornate throne with turned legs, wearing a tiara and draped in royal robes. He holds a lotus flower in his right hand and a long sceptre in his left, the sceptre surmounted by a floral finial. To the left of the throne, a large globular element is depicted in the field. An Aramaic inscription appears vertically in the left field, reading the name of the satrap Mazaeus.

附加信息	Mazaeus governed Cilicia as satrap under the Achaemenid crown from around 361 BC and later surrendered Babylon to Alexander the Great in 331 BC without a siege — a capitulation rewarded with his reappointment as governor under Macedonian rule, making him one of the very few Persian satraps to hold power both before and after the conquest. These staters were struck to fund regional administration and, almost certainly, military levies during the period of mounting Macedonian pressure. The SNG Levante and BN groupings suggest meaningful die variation across the issue, consistent with extended production at Tarsus.
