Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 04/23/2021 1:47 pm No, I was thinking a bronze from, perhaps, Antioch. Compare, for example, with this Butcher 24.1. Zeus obverse and reverse, ANTIOXEΩN MHTΡOΠOΛEΩΣ AYTONOMOY. Obverse on yours is too far gone, I think, to be of much help in this effort. Not much to go on at all, really - but I'm guessing it's TON in the legend at left - and there does appear to possibly be two legend lines at right, which would fit. Plus I can sorta make out the TIOX of ANTIOXEΩN at the right on yours. I'll add that a lot of Antioch Zeus-obverse issues from this period have c/m's in the lower obverse, often hammered in angled or sideways, and always with a right-facing bust. The OP coin seems like it might have one also. It's murky, but perhaps there. Edited by Kamnaskires 04/23/2021 2:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
