DOEDALSES
DOEDALSES (Greek). Sculptor of Nicomedia, circa B.C. 228. The reverse type of the tetradrachms of Prusias I. of Bithynia is evidently copied from the celebrated statue of Zeus Stratios by this artist, which stood in the principal temple of Jupiter at Nicomedia. This figure of Zeus does not occur on the coins of Nicomedes I., the founder of the Bithynian dynasty, nor on the unique tetradrachm of his son and successor, Ridas, but appears on the currency, from Prusias I. to Nicomedes III., on whose...
