[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 4272415, member: 87809"]Sorry, I wasn't looking at sold items. Now I found four, and all four are from magistrate Zeuxis, RPC I 2894; SNG Copenhagen 555. The one I have is magistrate Dioskourides (ΔIOΣKOVPIΔHS) - different RPC number:confused: Wildwinds says about this magistrate (same as mine): RPC's attribution of this issue to Tiberius is based on the "mature portrait", the "second issue" of this and another magistrate, and the use of "SEBASTOS". No city in southern Phrygia issues "SEBASTOS" coins with "TIBERIUS" - it is always "either-or". Also, unless the "SEBASTOS" coinage of southern Phrygia is attributed to Tiberius, a huge gap in coinage would need to be explained some other way. Together, these arguments make a reasonable case. This is the one at Wildwinds, Tiberius(?): [CENTER][IMG]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/tiberius/RPC_2911.1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
