Commentary

L’ère de la cité d’Arados débute en 259-258 avant J.-C., d’abord indiquée en caractères araméens, la datation est ensuite inscrites en lettres numérales grecques dont la plus ancienne semble être 86 = 174-173. Tetradrachmes et didrachmes Lagides frappés avec ce type de datation pourraient être des imitations chypriotes ou frappées à Arados comme l’écrit O. Hoover.
