These games were given in the name of Apollo and celebrated every 5 years. The crown given to the victors of these games had long spikes attached to them thus they could be distinguished from the prizes given at the other games. These games were celebrated in the nearby city of Nicopolis. However these games were celebrated in cities such as Amasia in Pontus and Tarsus in Cilicia&nbsp; both of which minted coins celebrating the event.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
