Hoegego 84 for counterstamp. Brown patina. Provenance/Pedigree: Ex: Münzen Auktion Essen, 1994, lot 317. Panamara was a dependecy of Stratonikeia and contained an important temple to Zeus. Labienus and the Parthians in 40/39 B.C. unsuccesfully attempted to capture both Stratonikeia and Panamara. They were foiled at Panamara by an intervention of Zeus. (See: Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites, 1976.). This manifestation of Zeus is depicted on the reverse of the coin. A dedicatory inscription probabably for a sculptural group was found at Panamara and relates the details of Zeus' aid during the siege. The Parthians fist attempted a surprise attack at night but Zeus illuminated the sky with lightining to alert the Panamarian defenders. During a subsequesnt attack, Zeus enveloped the attackers in fog and a severe storm which caused great confusion within their ranks but allowed the defenders to be hidden in the fog with a resulstant slaughter of the attackers.
