Tarkumuwa (Datames), satrap of Cilicia

From SILVER


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.
