<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 3026592, member: 88401&quot;]That&#039;s a beauty. Struck under Mithradates VI Eupator, an amazing personality who would probably be as famous and heroic as the early Caesars if it wasn&#039;t for the fact that the Romans wrote a lot of that history. He was a major adversary of early Rome. He also claimed divine right to rule since he was born under the passing of a bright comet. The star/crescent may be associated with that connection.[ATTACH=full]753614[/ATTACH]</p><p>Attribution: MacDonald 161</p><p>Date: 109-105 BC</p><p>Obverse: Tripod</p><p>Reverse: ΠANTIKAΠ, letters between the rays of a star</p><p>Size: 15.23mm</p><p>Weight: 3.27 grams</p><p>Description: VF. ex Alex Malloy with his un-named auction envelope.
