<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2509076, member: 72818&quot;]This AE-20 was offered on FORVM&#039;S free auction site by a seller I have purchased from numerous times before and seemed to be obtainable at &#039;low retail&#039; until the last hour of the auction when it went for about &#039;average retail&#039; shipped. It&#039;s a very scarce type and in FINE + grade with substantial &#039;circulatory&#039; wear. But the devices, although heavily worn, are well centered, the legends decipherable and so it caught my eye and interest. Livia and Tiberius facing each other plus a tetrastyle temple containing a statue of the deified Augustus within were more than I could resist----although I wish I had a bit more room in my budget for an example with sharper details.....</p><p><br /></p><p>The Greek inscription appears to mention the pro-consul Petronius and the fact it was struck in Pergamon while he held that office....</p><p><br /></p><p>AE-20 of Mysia, Pergamon---P Petronius, Pro-consul, circa 27-35 AD</p><p>Draped bust of Livia, laureate head of Tiberius facing each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tetrastyle temple with &#039;clipeus&#039; (military shield) in pediment,</p><p>containing statue of deified Augustus with spear.</p><p>RPC 2369; 4.13 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any dual portrait coins you may wish to share<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533349[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
