The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 5. (of 7): Persia

CHAPTER V
87/92

The third common type has on the obverse the king in his chariot, with his charioteer in front of him, and (generally) an attendant carrying a fly-chaser behind.

The reverse has either the trireme or the battlemented city.

A specimen of each type is given.

[PLATE LVII., Fig.
4.] The artistic merit of these medals is not great.

The relief is low, and the drawing generally somewhat rude.
