My latest coin comes with a rewrite of my notes on it's older cousin the AE obol with the same imagery. The full story here: https://www.sullacoins.com/post/amazon-kyme (several other sets of notes posted this week as well on Noses and Roman Republican control marks, and updates to my Greek gallery https://www.sullacoins.com/greek-asia-minor) The Amazon on the obverse reputed to be a fierce tribe of female warriors, known for their archery and horse riding, who fought against the Greeks. Myrina was Queen and Kyme one of her generals. Diodorus Siculus describes that Myrina named other cities after "the women who held the most important commands, such as Cymê, Pitana, and Prienê". Post your coins of cities named for these Amazon warriors.
