All Hadrian provincials coins

I have Emmett's book but am not certain of the attribution. I suspect you have it correct, Emmett 824(9), R4. The reverse description is merely "Athena standing facing, head r., holds spear, shield". While some of the reverses are illustrated at the back of the book, this specific reverse is not.

My only hesitation is the "facing" part. Athena looks like she's standing slightly left, head right. However, it is slight and it may be inconsequential.

There is another entry which could fit: Emmett 820(9), also R4. "Athena standing L, holds spear, shield"

The positions of the spear and shield are not specified for either type.

Here's a Hadrian tetradrachm I picked up at WFOM. The color does not appear to be toning-- it looks like someone tried to gild it! I wonder when that was done-- modern times or long ago-- and why?

Interesting coin! Fouree aurei do exist - they are rare, but occasionally one pops up on the market. But the only ones I've seen copy actual aureii types - they aren't gilt tetradrachms. Perhaps the coin was converted to jewelry at some point - unless it's a trick of the light, there appears to be a plugged hole directly in front of Hadrian's forehead.

Both are very nice.

 

I like "Zeus-in-jail" (cool coin, my friend) ...

Cheers

 

Hide your Hadrians! Oki is will take them all

Quite a nice collection you have, Oki!

 

i would say grade VF or Good VF, i have 1 underway 34mm year 2 LB Emmett 961

 

Hey, Oki ... awesome coins (you're the only dude that I know that buys more coins than myself!! => awesome effort!!)

Ummm, do you ever stray from Hadrian and buy something else? ... do you own any modern coins, or perhaps any good ol' Greek coins, or is it always about Hadrian?! (I may have asked this same question before, but I'm a bit curious why you're 100% Hadrian? ... hey, don't get me wrong => the dude has awesome coins, but you must have originally collected moderns, or perhaps more than just Hadrian coins, no?) ...

=> you rock, my prolific brother => keep on buyin' and posting those sweet Hadrian winners!!

Cheers

Extra.
Named for the daughter of Augustus, Colonia Iulia Augusta Felix Berytus was founded in 14 B.C. with veterans of the 5th and 8th legions. Herod the Great, Herod Agrippa I, and Herod Agrippa II built sumptuous monuments and sponsored gladiatorial combats at Berytos. After the siege of Jerusalem, Titus gave gladiatorial games at Berytos, in which the combatants were Jews.
