| Obverse description | Baal of Tarsos depicted standing in three-quarter view to the left, his right arm extended forward presenting an eagle perched upon his hand, while his left hand grasps a lotus-tipped scepter. The figure is rendered in the Achaemenid-influenced Cilician style characteristic of late 5th to early 4th century BC coinage. The Aramaic inscription TRBZW, identifying the satrap Tiribazus, appears in the right field, while the Greek letters MAP are positioned in the left field. The combination of Aramaic and Greek epigraphy reflects the bilingual administrative context of the satrapy. |
