Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 5:47 pm I believe the obverse is Antoninus Pius and the reverse is Men Report this Post to the Staff

Dalmas New Member Sweden 27 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 2:25 pm Thanks for the welcome. Thanks for your input. I also agree it's Antoninus Pius and Men standing right, left foot on bucranium, holding scepter But I'm getting mad that I don´t find any information about the coin, acsearch, wildwinds etc nothing.

Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 2:55 pm There is RPC online, which I checked quickly but did not see it. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/ did you try Isegrim? http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim/login.php3 it's difficult to search if you do not know how.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 9:18 pm How can it be Antoninus Pius ? Legend reads AYK M AVP Unless my mind is gone Marcus follows Antoninus Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3443 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 9:43 pm The only emperor that fits this legend would be Claudius II Gothicus I would assume the Claudius on the reverse legend might be the local magistrate Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 05/22/2019 9:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/23/2019 01:29 am The ruler is Claudius II. The city is Claudioseleucia in Pisidia, which at an earlier period was known as Seleucia Sidera. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree...eucia/i.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucia_Sidera Report this Post to the Staff

Dalmas New Member Sweden 27 Posts	Posted 05/23/2019 4:34 pm Thank you all for your help. I wondered if it was Claudius II for a while before I was unsure if it could be Pius. But I have only seen the text on Claudius II, and the link to https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3206661 come closest to those I have seen, thank you for that link.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/23/2019 7:20 pm I thought it might be helpful to parse the legends for those who have been following this thread but may not be familiar with numismatic Greek. O: AY[TOKPATOP] K[AICAP] M[ARKOC] AYP[HΛIOC] KΛAYΔIOC = "Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Claudius". R: KΛAYΔIOCEΛEYKEΩN = "of the Claudioseleucians". The Greek ethnic is typically the city name stated in the genitive (possessive) plural, thus "KΛAYΔIOCEΛEYKEΩN" rather than KΛAYΔIOCEΛEYKEIA. Note: Greek "C" is actually a later form of Σ.
