The Decapolis ("Ten Cities"; Greek: deka, ten; polis, city) was a group of ten cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire in Jordan, Israel and Syria. The ten cities were not an official league or political unit, but they were grouped together because of their language, culture, location, and political status, with each possessing a certain degree of autonomy and self-rule. The Decapolis cities were centers of Greek and Roman culture in a region that was otherwise Semitic (Nabatean, Aramean, and Jewish). With the exception of Damascus, Hippos and Scythopolis, the "Region of the Decapolis" was located in modern-day Jordan.

Petra (GreekΠέτρα, Petra, meaning "stone";

 

That coin from Petra is a very nice example of the type.

Here's one from Akko-Ptolemais that I recently posted in another thread...

AE19, 6.15g.
Obv.: IMP TRA HADRIANO CAESAR; Draped bust of Hadrian r., laureate.
Rev.: COL PTOL (Colonia Ptolemais); Tyche standing facing, looking left, resting on rudder and holding cornucopia.
Reference: Sofaer pl. 8,142. Kadman 107, Rosenberger I p. 26, #49.

 

thx, for posting, are you gonna clean it?
i have some simular looking coins with i am in doubt of cleaning dirt of.

 

I'm giving it a soak in distilled water now. If some of the dirt comes off with a very light cleaning, fine. If not, that's fine too. It's rather typical of Levantine provincials - they're crusty and worn. But the portrait is good, and the reverse is all there, even the important legend COL PTOL, so either way is fine with me.

 

yes my idea i guess thank you JA

good luck
