<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 2529424, member: 44154&quot;]Here is a coin I almost forgot about. Not too many coins are available for Tabae, Caria and only one for Trajan at Wildwinds, 13 total available at VCoins, 42 at acsearch.info. I found this coin in a uncleaned lot from Serbia. Not done cleaning it yet, almost.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]540394[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Provincial Trajan, AE23, of Tabae, Caria, 5.1g, 24mm</p><p><br /></p><p>OBV: AY KAI TRAI-ANOC ARIC GER DA, Laureate head right.</p><p><br /></p><p>REV: (from top right) TABHNWN, Demeter, polos on head, standing left, holding corn-ears, bunch of grapes and sceptre.</p><p><br /></p><p>REF: SNG Cop 559, Hunter 4.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]540395[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]540396[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That coin is almost in the middle, you can see part of it on the bottom that looks sandy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tabae Caria is a rather obscure city, mentioned by Strabo a Greek scholar who lived in the years c. 64 BC - 24 AD.
