Desert Patina New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 10/13/2012 9:52 pm I think its a provencial. All I know is it is 29mm, and supposed to be a Judeae City Coin. Closest thing I find is on with Macrinus - 217-218 AD - Bronze AE 29 - Laodicea ad Mare, Syria. But not quite. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 10/13/2012 10:14 pm I found another coin with the same reverse that was struck at Laodiceia ad Mare, Syria. The obverse is not a match, but take a look at the reverse: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=494603 I feel fairly confident that your coin is Caracalla and most probably struck at the above city. However, I do not have the exact reference for you. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
