<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 2821072, member: 88401&quot;]So I was wondering if anyone has any of these coins. It appears that the star and star/crescent motif on the reverse appeared in 44 BC at the same time as Caesars famous comet. I am attempting to corroborate this. Wildwinds is not cooperating with my computer just now-won&#039;t access. I am figuring since the coins also declare this Kingdom as friends of Rome that the star was part of this capitulation? So i need to know if the any coins minted before 44 BC have the star/crescent.They have dates-years of the reign.</p><p>Kings of Cappadocia</p><p><br /></p><p>Ariobarzanes III Eusebes Philoromaios (52-42BC)</p><p><br /></p><p>AR drachm- 3,9 gram, 18 mm, dated RY 9 (44/3BC)</p><p>obv: diademed head right</p><p>rev: Athena&nbsp; standing&nbsp; left,&nbsp; holding Nike,&nbsp; spear&nbsp; and&nbsp; shield;&nbsp; star and&nbsp; crescent left,&nbsp; monogram&nbsp; right,&nbsp; date&nbsp; in exergue</p><p>Simonetta 1b[ATTACH=full]662378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
