Anazarbus, Cilicia, Dynast Tarkondimotos, c. 69 - 39 B.C.
|Cilicia|, |Anazarbus,| |Cilicia,| |Dynast| |Tarkondimotos,| |c.| |69| |-| |39| |B.C.|, References loosely date this type from the 2nd Century B.C. until Anazarbus was renamed Kaesarea in 19 B.C. Tarkondimotos, a pirate, was made dynast by Pompey in 69 B.C. and crowned king by Marc Antony in 39 B.C. He died at Actium in 31 B.C. After he was made king, he issued a similar type with his portrait on the obverse and his name and title on the reverse. This type was likely struck before he was made king.
