KINGS OF CAPPADOCIA. Ariarathes VI Epiphanes Philopator. Circa 118-106 B.C. AR tetradrachm. 16.44 gm. 27 mm. In the name and types of Antiochos VII of Syria. Mint II, emission 11. Diademed head of Antiochos VII right / Athena Nikephoros standing left, holding Nike, monogram above A to left; all within wreath. Krengel & Lorber 372-402 (A44/unlisted reverse die). SC 2146.5. HGC 9, 1068. Very Fine; lightly toned.

Cappadocian imitations of Antiochos VII, though closely adhering to the design and controls of the Syrian coinage, become somewhat more rudimentary in later emissions (such as this coin). The coarse style of Athena on the reverse is a particular giveaway, with her oddly proportioned outstretched arm.
