Kings of Pontos, Mithradates VI Eupator AR Tetradrachm. Time of the First Mithradatic War, 80-72/1 BC. In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon. Lakon, magistrate. Head of Herakles with the features of Mithradates VI to right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; ΛΑΚΩ in inner left field, ΟΔH in exergue. Cf. Callataÿ Group 3; Topalov, Odesos 80; Price 1193. 16.26g, 29mm, 12h.
Extremely Fine.
From the Mark Christenson Collection.
As noted in Callataÿ, this issue displays the head of Herakles with the features of Mithradates VI of Pontos. The series appears to progress from a short abbreviation of the magistrate Lakon's name to a longer form (La-, Lak-, Lako-).
