Rev - very simple distyle temple with figure or statue central. There are traces of a legend but I can't read it Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/14/2025 12:19 am Have you checked RPC Online? If not, I recommend using the advanced search function, set to Perge for city, "bust" for obverse, and "temple" for reverse. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search/advanced Probably not a match, but here's a Commodus for comparison: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/11619 Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 01/14/2025 12:21 am I agree with Perge. It look remarkably close to Specimen #1 of RPC IV.3, 11684. That maybe a die match. Pamphylia, Perge. Marcus Aurelius (161-180) Obv: AV K M ANT CEB laureate head of Marcus Aurelius, right. Rev: ΠΕΡΓΑΙΩΝ temple with two columns including statue of Artemis of Perge.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/14/2025 12:37 am Thanks! I think sometimes I get burned out trying to find precise die matches. It can be hard to determine if a coin is Greek or a Roman Provincial issue. Tanman, pretty sure that's it, or close. I'm down to only a handful that haven't been identified yet out of 25 or so, but I suspect some are not really identifiable.
