[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4976082, member: 96635"][USER=80556]@David@PCC[/USER], [USER=90981]@Shea19[/USER], [USER=98035]@Finn235[/USER] Thank you for sharing your nice examples of Ariarathes V! Very interesting, thank you for sharing, I know very little of the early Cappadocian kings. In the beginning the kings seem to be all full Persian blood, but later on when the kingdom got Hellenized the royals seems to have been carrying more and more Greek blood. Here a coin of Ariarathes IX, totally not a Cappadocian Greek or Cappadocian Persian anymore, but the son of the Pontic king Mithridates VI.

Obverse:[/B] Diademed head right, with the features of Mithradates VI of Pontos.
