[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3439500, member: 56859"]Just an enthusiast who has some Alexandrian reference books :). I agree with Ken-- Trajan drachm, Emmett 617, regnal year 13 (L IΓ), which is 109/10. This reverse type is known for year 13, year 16 (rare), and possibly year 15. The full obverse legend is probably AVTTPAIANCEBΓEPMΔAKIK. As for the table, I'm not sure. Perhaps it is his throne? Tomorrow or this weekend I'll check Milne and other sources to see if it is mentioned. Emmett doesn't get bogged down in the details. Sometimes details like sceptres, thunderbolts, and eagles are mentioned, sometimes not... this coin's reverse is just described as "Zeus standing left in temple". It's an interesting drachm. I'll take a closer look this weekend.[/QUOTE]
