Prieure de Sion Posted October 15, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 15, 2023 Link: 14 hours ago, ambr0zie said: Athena Ariarathes VII Philometor, posthum in the name and types of Antiochos VII Euergetes Sidetes; Tetradrachm of the Cappadocia / Seleucid Empire Period 107/100 BC; Material: Silver; Diameter: 29mm; Weight: 16.61g; Mint: Ariaratheia or Eusebia-Tyana ; Reference: SC 2148; Provenance: Ex Leu Numismatic Winterthur Switzerland; Obverse: Diademed bust of Antiochos VII to right; Reverse: Athena Nikephoros standing left; monogram above A to outer left, O to inner left, Λ to inner right; all within laurel wreath. The Inscription reads: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EYEPΓETOY. This issue belongs to a series of issues that have been die and control-mark linked to the coinage of the Cappadocian kings. Previously believed to be late issues from Antioch for Antiochos VII, a tetradrachm appeared in 2002 that was obverse die linked to the issue of the present coin and reverse die linked to the sole issue of tetradrachms bearing the name and portrait of Ariarathes VII. This discovery conclusively showed that this coinage in the name of Antiochos VII was actually a posthumous issue struck under the Cappadocian king. Further analysis of other issues in the name of Antiochos VII, of similar Antioch mint style, have shown that they are control-mark linked to issues of Ariarathes VII and other Cappadocian kings. Thus, these posthumous Antiochos VII issues constitute the vast majority of tetradrachms issued by the Cappadocian Kingdom. While the attribution of these coins to Cappadocia is now settled, their purpose, time of introduction, and the reason they employ the types of Antiochos VII are not certain. (For a full treatment of these issues, see Lorber & Houghton, esp. pp. 58-60, and E. Krengel and C.C. Lorber, "Early Cappadocian Tetradrachms in the Name of Antiochus VII," NC 2009, esp. pp. 68-71.) 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
