Roman Provincial AR - M AVR AN IVL ? CEB? Who is it? [решено]

3 сообщений • просмотрено 27 раз

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer. This 19mm coin appears to be a Roman Provincial silver (or billon) coin of Antioch, Syria.

 

I had assumed it was Caracalla or Elagabalus, but I can’t find any legends of theirs that include what I make out to be IVL (I even considered Phillip II). I read the obverse legend as M AVP AN IVL _ CEB?

 

Reverse certainly looks like Antioch (ΔΗΜΑΡ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤ).

 

Does anyone recognize this issue and/or know whose issue it is? Thanks!!

 

I think you were right first time with Caracalla, IVL making no sense for Greek legends, rather M AVP ANT-ΩN CEB

I am not sure why what appears to be indistinguishable types is in RPC twice but it is still a work in progress.  As you can see from the links they are assigning this type to Petra.

Brilliant!

I never would have thought of Petra.

And the Ω is now clear as a better rendering.

I can’t thank you enough!
