yah, I love it too => I love the elephant head-dress (very cool)

 

That may be the most detailed elephant headdress I've seen on an Alexandrian!

 

Nice tetradrachm!

 

maybe that why they thought it was Selene (selene is with cresent)

 

I just realized this thread is "provincials" ...I guess I should read the titles before I post coins (imperials).

 

PHRYGIA, Apameia. Hadrianus 98-117 AD 20 AE Marsyas.

Reference.
BMC PHRYGIA P. 96, 155; SNG Copenhagen 211; SNG von Aulock 3492.

Extra.
The figure on the reverse is not the satyr Marsyas, who does have his mythological orgins in Phrygia, but rather the personification of the river Marsyas, which flows from a spring in the heights above Apamea and eventually joins the Maeander. Apamea was known as Kelaenai before being re-founded by Antiochos I, and had the additional epithet of Kibotos, or "chest," for its importance as a regional trading center.

Appears to be overstruck on a Mark Antony and Octavia AR Cistophorus. The remains of the legend M • ANTONIVS • IMP • COS • DESIG • ITER • ET TERT can be seen on the reverse with the M starting at 9 o'clock.

 

Awsome stuff, Martin, especially the Cistophoric.
