| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed portrait bust of Mithridates VI Eupator facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic tradition with youthful, heroic features. The hair is depicted in long, flowing locks swept back from the brow and falling in thick, deeply-cut curls behind the neck, reminiscent of portraits of Alexander the Great. A plain royal diadem encircles the head, with the ends visible behind the neck. The portrait is executed in high relief with exceptional artistic quality, reflecting the sophisticated die-cutting tradition of the Pergamene mint. A control monogram appears in the lower left field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mithridates VI struck this tetradrachm at Pergamon after seizing the city during his sweeping advance through Roman Asia Minor in 88 BC — a campaign that culminated in his order to massacre an estimated 80,000 Roman and Italian civilians across the province in a single coordinated day. Pergamon, formerly the capital of the Roman province of Asia, became one of his primary mints almost immediately upon capture.
The date formula ZΣ IΓ places this piece in regnal year 207 of the Pontic era, confirming production during the height of the First Mithridatic War.
