|Kingdom| |of| |Chalkis|, |Tetrarchy| |of| |Chalkis,| |Coele| |Syria,| |Lysanias,| |40| |-| |36| |B.C.|, The ΠTO monogram has been interpreted to indicate the head is posthumous portrait of Ptolemaios (Ptolemy I), Lysanias' father and predecessor as tetrarch and high priest. RPC notes that the diademed portrait is odd as neither Lysanias nor Ptolemaios was king, but this is incorrect. Ptolemaios was king before he was forced to by Pompey to accept Roman hegemony and the title tetrarch.
