Kings of Charakene, Apodakos AR Tetradrachm. Charax-Spasinu, dated SE 204 = 109/8 BC. Diademed head right / Herakles seated left on rock, holding club on knee; ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to right, AΓΓOΔAKOY to left, monogram to outer left; ΔΣ (date) in exergue. Sunrise 464; DCA 480; cf. Alram 495. 15.31g, 31mm, 12h.
Very Fine; some cleaning marks.
All we know of Apodakos is learned from his coins, and as such our understanding is extremely limited. It is uncertain whether he was the son of Hyspaosines, who the latter's widow Thalassia tried to install on the throne after the king's death, or whether he was a usurper.
