<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 7329778, member: 74834&quot;]The second of the Roman Provincial coins I bought lately with an eye on the reverse. Though a bit worn, is has an appealing movie-like patina: two shadows engaged in a talk with gestures, the shadow in the doorway... One of the things I most like about it, is its date, albeit <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/2362" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/2362" rel="nofollow">with a question mark in RPC</a>. I&#039;m fascinated by coins nearing the Year Zero.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1280493[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus, AE20 Pergamum in Mysia, about 1 AD. Kephalion, grammateus.
