Augustus AE As Mysia, Pergamum (?) Obv: Hd r. Rev: CA in wreath I'm sure someone would know what the CA in the wreath means. I have had this for probably 40 years but have never seen the answer to this question. I would appreciate someone sharing their wisdom.
“C•A” on the reverse has been interpreted several ways, including Caesaris Auctoritate, Commune Asia, and Caesar Augustus. Augustus Struck 27 BC, Asia Minor, Uncertain Mint (Antioch) Obverse: CAISAR, bare head right. Reverse: Large C•A within laurel wreath of ten leaves, between inner and outer borders.

there are silver cistophoric tetradrachms from Pergamum with a reverse of the temple of Roma and Augustus and legend of COM(mune) ASIAE. this type is maybe an abbreviation of the same legend.
