But I&#039;ll just share one which literally arrived in the mail today from overseas. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This little silver obol was issued in Cilicia, by Datames, a Persia/Achaemenid-appointed satrap who ruled in the early 4th century BC.
