Hmm, looks like Vima Takto's hat on Mithradates. Will have to continue the search tonight unless someone else correctly IDs it before then :)

OK, let's try Kamnaskires VI. If not, some other unknown Elymais king.

TIF- Amazing! I love the logic used to determine the ruler and civilization.

Kingdom of Elam
King KAMNASKIRES VI Late 1st cent BC to early 1st century AD
Billon Tetradrachm 16.10g x 29mm
obv: diademed bust of king right
rev: male bust left with garbled legend
ref: Seaby 5889


Maybe one of the Biblical Wisemen/ Kings. Notice the nie star and moon in the obverse right field. Yea, Yea!



Guess-The-Emperor,-Caesar,-Or-Empress

Very cool coin! I'll dig up something interesting to post in a few hours. Need to wrap things up at work first.

I came across all kinds of interesting coins while looking for this one...
