Commentary


Au droit, E. Babelon décrivait l’entité féminine comme Tyché. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire décrit dans l’ouvrage de F. Duyrat, pl. 49, n° 4537). Notre exemplaire de bonne facture semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
In law, E. Babelon described the feminine entity as Tyche. Same legal corner as the example described in the work of F. Duyrat, pl. 49, no. 4537). Our well-made example seems much rarer than general works suggest.

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..
