<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1899454, member: 42773&quot;]That&#039;s a superb example of the type, Steve. There isn&#039;t a coin from the cities of the Decapolis that I don&#039;t like - for some reason I&#039;m very much drawn to the coinage of the Levant. I&#039;ve only seen one better example of this type, and the dealer wanted $1700 for it! A rare and beautiful issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve only done a brief search, but it seems the galley reverse type only occurred on the coins of Gordian III, as far as the city of Gadara goes. I don&#039;t see it on the earlier provincials, going back to Augustus, or even on the pre-imperial coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
