Commentary
Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent paraître les ouvrages généraux. Ce bronze avait été vendu par Pierre Crinon comme étant de Marathos alors qu’il faut le rendre à l’atelier d’Arados.
This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This bronze had been sold by Pierre Crinon as being from Marathos, whereas it must be returned to the Arados workshop.

Historical background
PHOENICIA - ARADOS
(3rd - 1st century BC)
Arados had entered the Seleucid orbit after the battle of Ipsos in 301 BC. The city emancipated itself from this tutelage in 259 BC. Arados then dates its coins from this new era. Under the reign of Alexandre I Bala, it destroyed Marathus, its neighbor and old enemy. From this date, the city issued a very important civic coinage (137-45 AC.) which was to last until the Caesarean period..
