Tarkumuwa (Datames), satrap of Cilicia

Mints

Tarkumuwa was the issuer of coins in Cilicia in succession to Pharnabazus from the 370s BC, possibly as satrap of the region. He is often been identified with Datames, the satrap of Cappadocia. Wikipedia conflates the two men. For discussion see Casabonne O.
