<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 3902171, member: 99456&quot;][USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] - nice coins - Lucilla in particular.&nbsp; While I have some Ceres, I will share this coin, recently purchased, with her Greek counterpart: Demeter with the attributes of torch and grain.&nbsp; It is certain that your posts of similar coins have influenced my interest in this coin.&nbsp; The bewildering number of variations in these coins and die sharing between cities and numbers minted make these interesting to me.&nbsp; I have had a hard time finding others like this one from Odessos.&nbsp; Much easier to find this Demeter reverse combined with &quot;Gordian III and Serapis&quot; or &quot;Gordian alone&quot; on the obverse.&nbsp; The stephane on Demeter looks crown-like.[ATTACH=full]1028429[/ATTACH] Moesia Inferior, Odessos, <b>Gordian III and Tranquillina </b>(238-244), Ae</p><p><b>Obv: </b> AYT K M ANT ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟC AVΓ CE / TRANKVΛ-ΛEINA, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian right vis-a-vis diademed and draped bust of Tranquillina left</p><p><b>Rev: </b>OΔHCCEITΩN, Demeter standing facing, head left, holding grain ears and long torch, E in field left.</p><p><b>Ref: </b>(edit to add reference to AMNG 2381)</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn01akaduoft/page/582" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/p2dieantikenmn01akaduoft/page/582" rel="nofollow">[ATTACH=full]1028500[/ATTACH]</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin also is an obverse die match with <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4547808" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4547808" rel="nofollow">this one</a> from ACSearch with different reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
