[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 24438854, member: 87809"]Got this Caracalla because i liked very much his young and handsome profile. I was aware of HJB's attribution: Cf. M. Arslan pl. 12, 131 and pl. 23, B65 (same obv. die); cf. SNG Aulock-6176 (similar rev. type); M. Arslan, ‘The Coinage of Ancyra in the Roman Period’, in C.S. Lightfoot (ed.), Recent Turkish Coin Hoards and Numismatic Studies (Oxford, 1991); Not in Arslan, Coinage of Ancyra, or other standard references. Thought that maybe I could find a preciser attribution. Does anyone here know more about this coinage from Ancyra? The Greeks called a chief city (Μητροπολις), the Latin civitas. The more distinguished metropoles of the Roman empire were designated on their respective coins, both in Greek and Latin. On the reverse of this coin the city’s status is proclaimed. I did find in "Recent Turkish Coin Hoards and Numismatic Studies”, United Kingdom: British Institute at Ankara, Editor C. S. Lightfoot, ISBN 9781912090006, 19120900071990, Chapter 1, The Coinage of Ancyra in the Roman Period, Melih Arslan, on p. 31 Obverse type (2): Head l.
