Out of interest I will attempt to search with you, but it's very difficult. I've only noticed Geta so far seems to have had a coin on both the obverse and reverse.

Good luck. Very interesting.

Definitely a provincial from Edessa, Mesopotamia

Maybe something similar to this: http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/40...dessa&rno=20

Interesting coin, I guessed Septimius Severus but had no idea who the other fellow was.

You're welcome Pish.

I was just reading up on this fellow Abgar, quit a rich history.

I am curious what the final hammer price will be on this example. I think it is quit nice and not your ordinary provincial.

I am watching it also. It is getting a bit high for me, and I am not sure how good the legends would be after cleaning on the obverse.
