[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 25388654, member: 87809"]This was also in a lot I won recently. The note it came with says: "[I]Antioch, RPC I 4229, 38/7 BC, reverse rough, ex Surber" [/I] The reverse is rough as the note says. Looking through the coins listed at [URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/4229[/URL] there should be two cornucopias on each side of the tripod or one caduceus, but I don't see either, even with a magnifying glass. Maybe the attribution should be [I]RPC I, 4240? [/I][URL]https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/4240[/URL] What would you use as the right attribution? Haven't weighted the coin yet... Syria, Antiochia ad Orontem. Ob.: laureate head of Zeus to r. Border of dots. Rev.: ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΝ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ at r., (downwards in 2 lines) Tripod surmounted by a bowl with three loops, branches on each; ΑΥΤΟΝΟΜΟΥ at l., (downwards). Date BI or ZK below [ATTACH=full]1625760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1625761[/ATTACH] Appreciate very much your insight[/QUOTE]
