CAPPADOCIA
In early times it is probable that the Persian darics and sigli were the
only coins, if there were any, which circulated in the region called Cappa-
docia. But from about B. C. 380, when Datames made himself independent
of the Great King, and founded a dynasty in Cappadocia which ruled the
country down to b. c. 93, and again subsequently down to A. d. 17, we
possess a long series of numismatic monuments. The classification of
the regal series of- Cappadocia is, however, involved in much obscurity.
See Borrell {Num. Chron., 1862, 1) and Friedlander {Zeit. f.Num., iv. ioand
269). The order here adopted is that of Imhoof {Portratkopfe, p. 38), but
it is probable that M. Th. Reinach’s forthcoming paper on this subject, in
the Revue Numismatique, 1886, may involve some modifications in the
arrangement.
KINGS OF CAPPADOCIA.
First Dynasty.
Datames, circ. B. C. 380-362. Silver coins, with types of Sinope, some
with his name in Greek, others with his name in Aramaic characters.
(See above, p. 434.)
Ariaramnes or Ariamnes I, circ. B. C. 362-350- Son of Datames.
Bronze, conjecturally attributed to this king by Friedlander {Zeit.f. Num.,
iv. 268). In M. Six’s opinion, however, this coin belongs to the reign of
Ariamnes II, circ. b.c. 250.
Head of Satrap. > APIAPAMNOY Galloping horseman
I & .75
Ariarathes I, circ. B. c. 350-322. Coins of three classes:—
