SIDON: Evagoras II, ca. 345-342 BC, AR dishekel (25.69g), BMC Phoenicia-66, HGC 10-258, Phoenician galley left // Persian king and driver in chariot left, attendant following behind, holding vase and scepter with an animal's head, 'ayin 'ayin to upper left, choice Fine. A pro-Persian king of the Greek city-state of Salamis in Cyprus, Evagoras was deposed ca. 351 BC by a popular revolt and fled to the Persian court, where Artaxerxes III gave him the government of the Phoenician city of Sidon. His administration of Sidon was so bad that after three years, in 346 BC, he was chased out of the city by the populace. Evagoras fled back to Cyprus, where he was arrested and executed.
