[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 6342070, member: 85693"]Very nice coin, David. Here is one that demonstrates the "low grade" problem with these you mention. My attribution is uncertain, but if I am right, this coin spans both Jewish rebellions because of the countermark: [ATTACH=full]1251272[/ATTACH] [B][/B] The reverse is worn almost smooth, but I can just make out parts of the trophy, leading me to my attribution for the host coin, but it is still a guess: [ATTACH=full]1251271[/ATTACH] [B]Titus Æ 22 (c. 73 A.D. C/M c. 135 A.D.) Roman Provincial - Samaria, Caesarea Maritima for Judaea[/B] [AVTOKΡ TITOΣ KAIΣAΡ], laureate head right / [IOYΔIAΣ EAΛΩKYIAΣ], trophy of arms, Judaea sitting & shield at base. RPC 2313 (uncertain attribution) (10.45 grams / 22 x 21 mm) [B]Countermark:[/B] Laureate head right, in rectangular punch, 5.5 x 6.5 mm. Howgego 133 (17 pcs). [B]Note:[/B] The countermark may have been applied in Palestine. Referred to as "Hadrian's Head," this countermark is sometimes connected to Legio XII and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (c. 132-136 A.D.) Here's the host coin from Wildwinds: [ATTACH=full]1251273[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
