[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4608244, member: 85693"]Nice coin and informative write-up from an interesting part of the world. This gives me an excuse to post my only Sepphoris. Despite a lot of problems, I really like this one - or at least I really like the reverse. [ATTACH=full]1141358[/ATTACH] [B]Trajan Æ 25 (98-117 A.D.) Sepphoris, Galilaea, [/B] [ΤΡ]ΑΙΑΝΟΣ ΑΥΤΟ[ΚΡΑΤΩΡ ЄΔΩΚЄΝ], laureate head right / ΣЄΠΦΩ-ΡΗΝΩΝ in two lines within wreath. RPC III, 3936; BMC1.Ros.3; Hendin 906. (13.76 grams / 25 mm) "This coin bears the remarkable inscription ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ЄΔΩΚЄΝ ('Trajan the Emperor gave') which suggests Trajan awarded something to the city....various numismatists have argued that it was the permission to strike coins (see RPC I p. 510). Indeed, no coinage was made at Sepphoris during the Flavian period." (Roma Numismatics) [B] [/B][/QUOTE]
