<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3301907, member: 97383&quot;]jlblonde, Attached are photos of my favorite African colonial coin struck in the city of Oea, in the North African province of Syrtica, while under Roman rule. The name of the city was later changed to Tripolitana, &amp; known today as Tripoli, Libya. The obverse pictures the Emperor Tiberius, AD 22-29, in the left field is an eagle holding a palm frond in its beak, &amp; in the right field is a laurel branch. The inscription reads: <b>AVGVSTVS TICAESAVG</b>. The reverse pictures Apollo (the god of music) with a lyre in the right field &amp; a Punic inscription in the left field translating to <b>Oea</b>. The coin is made of bronze, is 33 mm in diameter &amp; weighs 19.24 gm.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]874975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]874976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
