<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4659036, member: 19463&quot;]You can date this quite closely but you have to research what era was used on the coins of that city.&nbsp; The date reads right to left&nbsp; rho (100) mu (40) theta (9) or 149.&nbsp; I did not find the answer in the first place I looked so it is up to you to keep trying.&nbsp; I did find a different coin listed as Arados, Phoenicia. Year 166 (94/93 BC) so yours is 111-110 BC.&nbsp; Keep looking and you will find:</p><p><a href="http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1596&amp;title=phoeniciaarados&amp;cat=536" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1596&amp;title=phoeniciaarados&amp;cat=536" rel="nofollow">http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1596&amp;title=phoeniciaarados&amp;cat=536</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A hint:&nbsp; Learn the Greek number system.&nbsp; They used a different letter for each place so our 111 was AIP.&nbsp; Anytime you see three letters with one under I and one over Q with the middle letter falling between I and Q, think it might be a date.&nbsp; My tetradrachm below is EOP or 165 (93-92 BC.
