Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 9:04 pm KIANΩN would be Kios/Cius (Prusias ad Mare) Bithynia, I believe. Hygieia reverse? Edited by Kamnaskires 09/30/2019 10:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 10:37 pm The figure on reverse does appear to be Hygieia, the Greek equivalent of Salus, holding a snake. KIANΩN is the city name Kιος in the gentitive plural meaning "of the Chians" or "of the people of Chios". This type is not listed in RPC IV online. You might consider submitting it as a possible "discovery coin". https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search/...us+Kios https://www.facebook.com/RPCproject/ Edited by Kushanshah 09/30/2019 10:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
