Awesome examples, coin-gang ... very cool thread additions

Ummm, I kinda suck at ancient geography/history, so these babies may or may not be relevant to your brilliant thread? (but that's never stopped me in the past, so here we go again!!)

I have three examples from Cappadocia, Caesaraea-Eusebia ...

=> are my children allowed to hang with your Samarian kids?!

Nerva, Cappadocia, Caesaraea-Eusebia

Let's revive this thread

 

This is an ugly one from Casearea Martimia, but if my attribution is right, it is kind of interesting:



Titus / Hadrian Æ 22
(c. 73 A.D. C/M c. 135 A.D.)
Roman Provincial - Samaria,
Caesarea Maritima for Judaea
[AVTOKΡ TITOΣ KAIΣAΡ],laureate head right / [IOYΔIAΣ EAΛΩKYIAΣ], trophy of arms, Judaea sitting & shield at base.
RPC 2313 (uncertain attribution)
(10.45 grams / 22 x 21 mm)
Countermark: Laureate head right, in rectangular punch, 5.5 x 6.5 mm. Howgego 133 (17 pcs).
Note: The countermark may have been applied in Palestine. Referred to as "Hadrian's Head," this countermark is sometimes connected to Legio XII and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (c. 132-136 A.D.)
