[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4596454, member: 85693"]Great write-up and coins, Kevin. This gives me an excuse to post one I just got - the obverse shows Perseus, but I notice some sources say that he has Mithridates' features. Never met the man (or hero/demi-god), so I have no opinion on the matter. I really like the Pegasus on these: [ATTACH=full]1138371[/ATTACH] [B]Pontos, Amisos Æ 17 Mithradates VI Eupator (c. 100-95 or 80-70 B.C.)[/B] Head of Perseus right, wearing helmet with griffin head. / AΜΙΣΟΥ, Pegasus drinking left, two monograms below. SNG BM Black Sea 1213-1215; HGC 7, 239. (12.20 grams / 21 mm)[/QUOTE]
