    I couldn't find hardly anything on Atropatene.

    But for the Kindom of Pergamon, you could use one of the sides of the coins under the Attalid dynasty (minus Eumenes II), as all the rulers except for the aforementioned one apparently used the same coins:



    Maybe the obverse side, with the sitting Athena and her shield.

    As for the Bosporan Kingdom, I searched, and searched, and then for the heck of it, searched some more. Since I couldn't find any images of coins from the Spartocid dynasty (which would be appropriate for the timeframe, I think), and could only find images of coins from cities. Faction symbols for the Bosporan kingdom could come from coins from the important city of Pantikapaeum (sp?).

    Another option would be to use a symbol of the god Apollo, as his worship was popular in the black sea region, apparently because he was the protector of colonists and their colonized cities. Maybe the "sacrificial tripod" mentioned in wikipedia and the image coinciding with that would do nicely. Maybe not.

    I was really bored this morning, and had nothing better to do than use time looking for information. Hope it'll give you guys some ideas.

    I have found this for Atropatene, but I'm afraid it's almost the same as Pahlava's.
