[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3901981, member: 75937"]Lovely coin, [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] ! It's always special to have a coin formerly owned by one of our community, too. The only Antiochene tet I have is this one of Otacilia Severa: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/otacilia-severa-tetradrachm-antioch-jpg.901091/[/IMG] Otacilia Severa, 244-249. Roman provincial AR tetradrachm, 12.23 g, 25.1 mm. Syria, Seleucis & Pieria, Antioch ad Orontem, AD 245. Obv: ΜΑΡ ΟΤΑΚΙΛ CΕΟΥΗΡΑ CΕΒ, diademed and draped bust, right. Rev: ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞΟΥCΙΑC ΥΠΑΤΟ Α, eagle on palm, left, tail right, SC in exergue. Refs: McAlee 1088; Prieur 341; BMC 541. But I've got a bunch of antoniniani of Trebonianus Gallus minted in the city. Here is my favorite of them all, though. I like the reverse type, which is not found on his coins issued by the Rome or "Milan" mints: [ATTACH=full]1028406[/ATTACH] Trebonianus Gallus, AD 251-253. Roman AR antoninianus, 3.82 g, 19.7 mm, 11 h. Antioch, second series, AD 251-252. Obv: IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust, right.
