<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3439634, member: 76086&quot;]I think I found it, or a close approximation:</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan, 98-117 Drachm circa 109-110 (year 13)</p><p>Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust r. </p><p>Rev. Classical temple, enclosing statue of Zeus standing facing, head r., holding thunderbolt over altar and sceptre, to r. eagle; in field, LI-Γ. </p><p>RPC 4450.1</p><p>Dattari-Savio Pl. 58, 1157</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]913338[/ATTACH] </p><p>The above example from a Naville auction, #44, Lot 262, rated &#039;rare&#039; and hammered 775 Pounds.&nbsp; I say a close approximation as the object you called a &#039;table&#039; is clearly different from the above coin (obviously an altar).&nbsp; Similar coins of Sarapis temples depict the same object as your coin and are described as a &#039;stele&#039;.&nbsp; Your coin also differs in that the eagle is facing away from Zeus instead of towards him, with head turned back.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure we could assign it to a specific Emmett number as the description is entirely too vague and without an illustration it would be impossible to know if that is the type he was cataloging.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t find the type listed in Milne (though I might have missed it in the index, he uses Zeus and Sarapis interchangeably).</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
