KA\u03a3\u03a4OPO\u03a3), typologically very close to the small bronzes (denomination C according to Hoover\u2019s division) of King Deiotarus of Galatia HGC 7, 776 = SNG von Aulock 6101; SNG France 3, 2332. It seems more likely that the coin published here was struck for Castor, grandson of Deiotarus, who became king of Galatia (and Paphlagonia) after the death of his grandfather in 40 BC, than for Castor Tancondarius, tetrarch of Tectosages in 63\/2\u201343 BC, son-in-law of Deiotarus and father of the younger Castor. This attribution also alters the dating of the type HGC 7, 776, which was probably struck between 44 and 40 BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Galatia, Deiotarus, Castor, AE denominations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong> https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/ajst.1.18.a3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awianowicz, B. 2023. \u201cAn Unknown Coin of Castor of Galatia and a Possible New Dating of Deiotarus\u2019 Coins with a Monogram of His Name\u201d, <em>Notae Numismaticae \u2013 Zapiski Numizmatyczne<\/em> 18: 49\u201356.
