Just bought this little provincial and I can't find another copy online anywhere or in my reference library. It's not in Recueil général des monnaies grecques d'Asie mineure, not at Wildwinds, not at Coin Archives, not at acsearchinfo, not at CNG's archives, not in BMC, not in Sear Greek Imperial. Anybody have Lindgren I? One of the SNG volumes? RPC??? I'd appreciate any help I could get. Julia Domna, AD 193-211 Roman provincial Æ (1 assarion?) 17.6 mm, 3.78 g Bithynia, Nicaea, AD 193-211 Obv: ΙΟΥΛΙΑ CΕΒΑCΤΗ, bare-headed and draped bust right Right: ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ, eagle standing right Refs: SGI --; Recueil Général --; BMC --
Ah!! Maybe! I thought it was an eagle but it might not be! I'll have to use phoenix as a search term! Thanks for this insightful observation!
I tried searching ACSearch under SWAN and PHOENIX and BIRD... nothing. Tried WINGS: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=julia domna ae wings&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1¤cy=usd&thesaurus=1&order=0&company=
I didn't find anything on ISEGRIM, though you have the reverse type for Septimius. I think the ISEGRIM database has everything from Lindgren, Waddington and the major SNGs for Nicaea, but I'm not at all adept at using it... you might want to give it a try yourself if you haven't already.
I was unaware of this database. Thanks! It's not very user-friendly. I put in "Domna Nicaea," for example, and it told me I made an error.
Heheh... it's no Google search. You really have to read the 'short' instructions before trying to do any searches: http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim/anleitung_e.html I'll qualify that last statement by saying you probably need to want to find a coin really badly before even reading the instructions...
