[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3878412, member: 19463"]This Gordian III is similar from Tarsos. [ATTACH=full]1024589[/ATTACH] For Herennia Etruscilla there is AMK on the reverse nut, appropriately no obverse Π Π. The condition of this coin obscures the Γ Β reverse right but it is there. [ATTACH=full]1024588[/ATTACH] I gave away this Valerian which has a weaker AMK but Γ Γ in place of Γ Β on the reverse suggesting that γράμματι βουλῆς may not be a correct reading. I would look for something like a third neocorate temple accounting for the change. [ATTACH=full]1024595[/ATTACH] In the back of my head but obscured by cobwebs, I recall there was another city rivaling Tarsos for AMK status but I can't recall details. I'm forgetting as fast as I am learning these days.[/QUOTE]
