<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 6446944, member: 76544&quot;]Came across these three provincial pieces with reverses depicting emperors standing on pedestals. There is some disagreement in describing these as some say it is a &quot;statue&quot; of the emperor on the pedestal, where others just describe them as the emperor himself. Not sure which is correct but both arguments have some merit. Anyways, here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Gordian III, Antiochia Pisidia (32mm, 23.5gms)</p><p>Obv: Bust of Gordian right</p><p>Rev: CAES ANTIOCH COL / SR; Gordian, standing right holding Nike, clasping hand with Genius standing left with scepter; altar between</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1256245[/ATTACH] 2. Trajan Ae : Amphipolis Macedon (18mm, 4.3gms)</p><p>Obv: Emperor standing left on pedestal raising right hand and holding parazonium in left</p><p>Rev: Artemis Tauropolos with billowing sail seated side-saddle on bull galloping right</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1256251[/ATTACH]</p><p>3. Augustus Ae : Philippi Macedon (22mm, 7.3gms)</p><p>Obv: Laureate bust right</p><p>Rev: AVG DIVI F DIVO IVL; Statue of Augustus standing left, raising hand, crowned by statue of Divus Julius; both standing on a central base</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1256255[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
