Obverse: The God Ba’altars Enthroned Facing Left Reverse: A Lion Advancing Towards the Left Cilicia is an ancient region of southeastern Asia Minor (modern Turkey), along the Mediterranean north of Cyprus. It included a high and barren plateau, Cilicia Trachia, an inhospitable region that served as shelter for pirates, and a richly fertile plain, Cilicia Pedias, that served as a strategic passageway throughout history. The area was under the domination of the Assyrian Empire before it became part of the Persian Empire. The Greeks settled on the coast early on, and Cilicia was Hellenized to a great extent. Origin: Minted in Myriandros Circa: 361 BC to 334 BC Collection: Numismatics Style: Cilician Medium: Silver
