Le più belle rappresentazioni di guerrieri

[King John]

CILICIA, Tarsos. Circa 410 BC. AR Stater (19.5mm, 10.67 g, 7h). Horseman riding left; to upper right, eagle(?) flying left / Archer kneeling right, drawing bow; TRZ (in Aramaic) to right; in linear square within incuse square. Cf. Casabonne Type D2/G1 (for obv./rev. type); SNG France –; SNG Levante –; SNG von Aulock –; cf. Traité II 521/509 (for obv./rev. type); CNG 93, lot 470 = Vecchi 8, lot 124 (same dies). Good VF, toned, light porosity. Extremely rare issue, the second known, unpublished in the standard references.
This early stater from Tarsos combines elements of Casabonne’s type D2 (obverse with horse in walking stance) and G1 (reverse with archer and city ethnic). Chronologically, these two periods are successive, linked by this extremely rare hybrid.

Non so se già siano apparse in discussione :  le 4 monete di seguito ,  valgono comunque una rivisitazione .

-- Alessandro Magno combattente  da un rarissimo decadramma coniato in Babilonia

--un bellissimo elmo crestato da un rarissimo  tetradramma , solo documento pervenutoci del re di Peonia Bastareos , altrimenti ignoto

--il tiranno di Fere di Tessaglia , Alessandro , in armi da cavalleggero  , da 2 stateri anch'essi rarissimi , impreziositi ai diritti da una superba testa di fronte di Ennodia : il secondo di questi nel logo del forum
