My first from Apameia. Apamea ad Maeandrum, Apamea or Apameia was an ancient city in Anatolia founded in the 3rd century BC by Antiochus I Soter, who named it after his mother Apama. It was in Hellenistic Phrygia, but became part of the Roman province of Pisidia. It was near, but on lower ground than, Celaenae. Bust of Athena right in crested helmet Text above and beneath eagle alighting right on maeander pattern between two pilei, stars in lower centre and upper right. AΠAME KΩKOY, Kokos (magistrate) PHRYGIA, Apameia. SA24. (Ae. 7.76g)- 88-40 BC Kokos.

UPDATE: Just realised I copied the dealers description of the title without checking. The coin is NOT a drachm.
Also from Apameia, Phrygia, near the confluence of the Marsyas and Meander Rivers: Æ 22 22 x 21 mm, 7.623 g Phrygia, Apameia, ca. 88 - 40 BC, Magistrates Menek(leous) and Diod(dorus) BMC 87; SNG Ashmolean 976; SNG Copenhagen 175; HGC 7, 672; Sear 5121 Ob.: Laureate head of Zeus right Rev.: ΑΠΑΜΕ / MENEK / ΔIOΔ. (magistrates Menek(leous) and Diod(dorus) in two lines. Facing statue of Artemis Anaïtis. Although this coin is from Apameia in Phrygia, east of Lydia, which in 546 BC became a province of the Achaemenid Persian empire, the Greek and Roman historians transliterate Anahita as Anaïtis, an old Iranian goddess. Her worship goes back to the 4th century BC. Picture courtesy Frank S. Robinson:
