Meydancikkale Hoard - coin #2481
« on: September 08, 2018, 02:24:56 am »
I am hoping that someone with a copy of Davesne, A. and Le Rider, G. Gülnar II, le trésor de Meydancikkale (Cilicie Trachée, 1980). Paris: Éditions Recherche sur les Civilisations, 1989 can provide me with a scan of the image of hoard coin 2481, plus its weight in grams, if recorded.

Meydancikkale 2481 is a Susa wreath group Alexander tetradrachm, attributed to the satrapy of Aspeisas 316-311 BC. 

Unfortunately, I have no easy access to the Meydancikkale Hoard publication. The information and image I am seeking will assist in a study of this coinage that I am completing.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you Mary. Your help has made it much easier to complete the study, which provides conclusive evidence that the Susa 'wreath group' must be down dated from the Satrapy of Aspeisas  to the era of Seleukos in the period 311/0-308/7 BC. A paper to that effect that will be submitted for consideration in the next volume of Nick Molinari's Koinon.  I understand that he's close to 'pushing the button' on the publication of the first volume.
