<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24668542, member: 26430&quot;]Impressive coin with a great obverse. I love big Provincial bronzes in general, but this mint has some particularly fun designs. (I also like how &quot;busy&quot; they are with legends running all over the place.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my AE from Cilcia, Seleucia al Calycadnum, struck just a few years later under Philip I (with a less-than-flattering portrait in typical mid-3rd cent. Cilician style!).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573064[/ATTACH] </p><blockquote><p><b>Cilicia, Seleucia ad Calycadnum.
