<p>[QUOTE="Factor, post: 8465313, member: 96413"]RPC 4874 is certainly Ascalon, obverse in the same style is found in multiple Ascalon types. The caduceus by itself iwas very popular throughout ancient world, and it is no wonder it is also found in Aspendos coins. Aspendos is sharing first two letters with Ascalon, the fact that doesn't help with attribution, but the OP coin is definitely Aspendos and not Ascalon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
