<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8349422, member: 86498&quot;]I have owned this coin for many years and while I have shown many of my coins over the years I cannot be certain that I have brought this coin out for show. </p><p>Stratonikea Ar Hemidrachm 133-129 BC Obv Head of Zeus right laureate.

There is one issue of this coin where a magistrate using the Roman name Caius is recorded. I suspect that this whole coinage is a silent testament to the increasing power of Rome throughout this region at this time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
