Sur cet exemplaire la Cabire est imberbe, le pilos orné ne semble pas orné de deux étoiles, une de chaque côté du bonnet et la légende de revers rétrograde. De plus la couronne ressemble plus à de l’olivier qu’à du laurier.

Historical background


TROAS - BIRYTIS

(4th century BC)

We know nothing about this city, which has now disappeared, apart from the fact that a coinage is attested in the 4th century BC. But it was perhaps located not far from Gargara on the Gulf of Adramytion.
