<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3493627, member: 87404&quot;]This is actually not Antioch of Pisidia, but rather the Syrian Antioch. Antioch in Syria should be considered Roman Provincial, so I&#039;d suspect it shouldn&#039;t appear in Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC) but Roman Provincial Coinage (RPC) instead... I&#039;m actually not even sure why RIC 528 is in there listing Antioch of Pisidia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the 2 of mine:</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/collagemaker_20181102_105323955.jpg?w=723" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Augustus, 27 BC-14 AD</b></p><p><b>Antioch, Syria, AE26</b></p><p>Obverse: IMP•AVGVST• – TR•POT, laureate bust of Augustus right.</p><p>Reverse: Large SC within laurel-wreath of eight leaves fastened at top with pellet, between inner and outer borders.</p><p>References: RPC 4247, McAlee 206b</p><p>Size: 26mm, 14g</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924983[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Augustus, Ruled 27 BC-14 AD</b></p><p><b>AE30, Syria, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse: IMP•AVGVST• – TR•POT, laureate bust of Augustus right.</p><p>Reverse: Large SC within laurel-wreath of eight leaves fastened at top with pellet, between inner and outer borders.</p><p><i>Notes: Reverse is slightly double-struck, which is typical of this early issue (per Butcher, Coinage in Roman Syria).</i></p><p>References: RPC I 4247, McAlee 206b</p><p>Size: 30mm, 18.0g</p><p><br /></p><p>(your&#039;s is double struck in the reverse like mine is here ^^^ too) </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, more specifically, the V you&#039;re referring to is actually a Roman U, as thier alphabet didn&#039;t include a U or J, but they used V and I instead of them, so you&#039;ll see AUGUSTUS as AVGVSTVS and TRAJAN as TRAIAN.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
