(Types 46-48, Plate VI)&quot;, Macdonald Type 46</p><p>The standard reference on Aphrodisias is by David Mcdonald, The Coinage of Aphrodisias, London 1992. The style of this coin shows that it was struck shortly after Augustus death (14 AD). The Obverse corresponds to O97-O98, the reverse is not known by Macdonald: the lettering with the I of AΦPOΔI ending at Aphrodite’s right hand, is new. The known types shown in Macdonald Rev. R164-R170 always have OΔI above the right hand. The authors of RPC - based on Macdonald’s work - adscribe this type to Caligula (37-41 AD). The letters &quot;E&quot; und &quot;Σ&quot; are angular, while under Augustus and Tiberius round letters were used. The struck is uniformly 12h, under Augustus / Tiberius it varies between 12h and 6h for each issue.</p><p>According to Kroyers (where my father bought the coin) it was struck under the early reign of Tiberius honoring Augustus.</p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1166171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1166174[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>and this silver Drachm that I won at cng</p><p>Lycian League, Myra, Masicytus, ca. 28/27-19/18 BC</p><p>17.5 mm, 3.174 g</p><p>Troxell 119.6 Period IV, Plate 23; RPC I 3309; SNG von Aulock 4356</p><p><br /></p><p>Ob.: Λ – (Y) Bare head of Augustus to right</p><p>Rev.: M - A flanking two lyres, pellet between; plectrum above</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1166184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1166185[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
