Identify the provincial city from It's representative image.

This is a Daily Quiz I did on Forvm a few years ago. I know a some of you guys have seen it before.

These images can be found elsewhere but I'm looking for the one that most represents its city. Identify the provincial city from It's representative image.

If you know 4 or more hold off from answering for a day.

Great idea for a quiz! I'll let others play. Jwt's got one checked off!

 

Great quiz! I can't resist chiming in with at least one answer

D: Emesa (eagle standing on the baetyl of El-Gabal, Syrian sun god)

 

I really feel like I know C...

This is a fun quiz!

 

Jwt and TIF: H and D correct

 

C: Tyre

 

Theodosius: Not Tyre.

 

Tyche is certainly common on bronze coins of Phoenicia but the leaping ram with head reverted (above her bust) is classic for a different place.

I'll go sit on my hands now

 

Nice addition TIF! Please feel free to chime in.

 

C: Antioch.

 

Not Antioch. A Mesopotamian city

 

Ok I just cheated and looked it up so I am not going to say...

 

C - Carrhae?

 

Not Carrhae.

 

C - Nisibis?

 

Jwt708: C is correct.



Mesopotamia, Nisibis. Julia Mamaea AE26 Aries
Julia Mamaea of Nisibis, Mesopotamia. Laureate head right / Turreted, veiled bust of Tyche right, ram (Aries) above.

 

Ya! I learned something today!

 

J looks like a rostrum tridens, which I see on the anonymous coins of the Roman Republic and on coins issued by Demetrius I of Macedon. Can't think of any provincial city except Arados?

 

I thought it as Syrian Antioch as well!
