Commentary
Avec ces monogrammes dans le champ, ce type ne fut frappé qu’en l’an 16 (80-79 avant J.-C.) et semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
With these monograms in the field, this type was only struck in the year 16 (80-79 BC) and seems much rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
CAPPADOCIA - CAPPADOCIAN KINGDOM - ARIOBARZANES Ier PHILOROMAIOS
(95-63 BC)
Ariobarzanes I was elected in 95 BC, his candidacy having been supported by the Romans. Cappadocia was occupied by the troops of Mithridates VI of Pontus and his son Ariarathes IX (101-87 BC) and the king often had to abandon his capital. Having also had to fight Tigranes, king of Armenia, he abdicated in favor of his son in 63 BC..
