Commentary
Sur cet exemplaire la Cabire est imberbe avec le pilos orné de deux étoiles, une de chaque côté du bonnet et la légende de revers rétrograde. De plus la couronne ressemble plus à de l’olivier qu’à du laurier, nous semblons apercevoir des olives.
On this example, the Cabire is beardless with the pilos adorned with two stars, one on each side of the cap and the legend on the reverse retrograde. In addition, the crown looks more like olive than laurel, we seem to see olives

Historical background
TROAS - BIRYTIS
(4th century BC)
We know nothing about this city, which has now disappeared, apart from the fact that a coinage is attested in the 4th century BC. But it was perhaps located not far from Gargara on the Gulf of Adramytion.
