o'clock VF Head of Perseus right, wearing Phrygian helmet. Pegasus standing right, drinking; three monogramms in the upper and upper right field; ΔΙΑΣ below. The iconogrpahy is very similar to that of the coins of other cities of Pontos, however, this is the single case with Pegasus standing right. The monogramms are partly off flan, their identity is assessed from the available traces. They appear to be identical to those of the Dionysus / cista mystica coins of Dia.
