AR Stater Ca. 384-361 BC, DATAMES ca. 384-361 BC, ASIA MINOR, CILICIA, TARSOS Female head facing. Rev. helmeted head of bearded Ares right, Aramaic TRDMW in front.SNG BN 258-70; SNG Levante 79; SNG v. Aulock 5937.The design of the woman's face on the obverse is derived from Arethusa, who was depicted on the coins of Syracuse. It is however unlikely that the die cutter of these Cilician coins wanted to depict the same nymph, as she does not have a connection to Tarsos as she does with Syracuse. The identity of this woman remains open to discussion.10.81 g. Subtle blue hue. NGC Choice XF Strike 4 out of 5; Surface 5 out of 5
