Commentary


Pour ce type, les auteurs du RPC ont relevé trois exemplaires, mais avec aucun coin de droit répertorié car les exemplaires ne semblent pas avoir été photographiés. Bien que dans les ouvrages de référence, le droit soit le côté où est représenté le roi du Pont, d’après notre exemplaire, le droit semblerait bien être le côté où figure le portrait de Néron.

Historical background


KINGDOM OF PONTUS - POLEMON II and NERO

It was Marc Antoine who reconstituted part of the Kingdom of Pontus of Mithridates VI (120-63 BC) for the benefit of Polemon I in 36 BC. Octave confirmed his possessions to him in 30 BC. He married Dynamis, the daughter of Mithridates VI of Pontus, widow of Asander (47-17 BC), king of the Bosphorus. It was finally Pythodoris, another wife of Polemon I, who succeeded her in 8 BC. Then it was Antonia Tryphænea, daughter of Polemon I, who succeeded her mother in 22. From 38, she associated her son Polemon II with the throne. Antonia died in 49. Polemon also received the kingdom of the Bosphorus from Caligula. In 64, Nero had Polemon deposed, who retired to Cilicia. His kingdom became a Roman province.
