Tarkondimotos was made dynast by Pompey and crowned king by Marc Antony. He died at the Battle of Actium. The anchor countermark, frequently used in an earlier era by Seleukid kings, is almost certainly post-Actium, perhaps from Antiochia ad Orontem in Syria.
The coins are usually attributed to a mint at Hierapolis, since the capital of the dynasty was there.
