Dynasts of Lycia, Perikles

Perikles was the last known independent dynast of Lycia who ruled from 375-362 BC. He is mostly known from his coinage and inscriptions found in the region. Lycia is located in what is modern day Antalya, Turkey, where a monumental tomb was built in his honour and decorated with friezes showing Pericles going to war. Several of these friezes are preserved in the Antalya Archaeological Museum. We have a small number of these silver 1/3 Staters from his reign showing a lion's scalp on the obverse and a triskeles on the reverse with his name in Lycian script. Offered in two grades to suit your budget but very limited availability.
