Marathos, Phoenicia

In my previous post, I wrote about the town of Amrit and how it is referred to in Greek as Marathos (sometimes spelled Marathus). Shown below is a bronze coin of a later date then the one shown in the previous post. This coin dates from between 117 - 111 B.C. which corresponds to the regnal year of 143 to 148. Since portions of the date are not readable, it is uncertain of the exact year without further investigation.

The obverse of the coin shows the bust of Zeus, whereas the reverse shows double comcopia with the name of the city on the left side and the date on the right side.
