RG 88 corr.

Even in the time of Mithradtes, ritual fires were held in honor of Zeus Stratios, where animals such as bulls and other foodstuffs such as milk and honey were sacrificed. These were then piled on logs and ignited to form a large fire. Following this tradition, altars were erected to Zeus Stratios to honor him with bonfires and offerings. Coins minted in Amaseia during the Roman Empire often show the altar of Zeus paired with an eagle or one or two bonfires. Next to it is a small life tree, a symbol of royal power and good fortune. These coins are reminiscent of the cult and worship of Zeus Straitos and are intended to reproduce the sacrifice to him. (the Religion and Cults of the Pontic kingdom, by Sergey Ju. Saprykin)
