Ariobarzanes II Athena Nikephoros

(1/1)

SRukke:
I think this is Ariobarzanes II with Athena Nikephoros on the reverse.
63 - 52 BC. I believe that the Ariobarzanes II's are more rare that the I's but I don't know by how much.

It is a bit worn but I am having trouble finding references for it. Or maybe it is misidentified. Weight and size are: 16mm and 4.05g.

rover1.3:
Ariarathes X, Eusebes Philadelphos, (42-36 BC), Sear 7305.
Observe the horizontal ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ and the trophy to inner left.

The full legends reads
" BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΡΙΑΡΑΘΟΥ ΕΥΣΕΒΟΥΣ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΟΥ "
 translated as
" OF KING ARIARATHES PIOUS PHILADELPHOS "

Best regards

Yes that looks more like a match. I was using the sellers info and of course it was wrong. Thank you for the help.
