Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 11:11 pm Have you looked at Philip I or II coins from Antioch, Syria? This is pure guess work on my part, but I'm fairly certain that is a turreted bust of Tyche on the reverse. Sorry I can't be of any more help then this. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 11:18 pm I've seen them before but I can't remember where it was. I'll give Antioch another look. Thanks JW. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 12:11 am No luck. The reverse bust doesn't look like it is turreted. So I don't think it's of Tyche. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 10:42 am Thanks to the folks from the other forum the coin has been identified. It is from the Senate/Rome series of the 1st century AD from Hermokapeleia, Lydia struck during the time of Hadrian. Report this Post to the Staff
