<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3510746, member: 75937&quot;]Odessos is a good guess, given the paucity of letters in the reverse inscription. Moreover, the horseman riding right is extremely common on coins of this city, because Heros, the city god, is known as a horseman god. Coins of this city from the pre-Roman era commonly feature this rider-god and it was not uncommonly featured on coins of the Roman period as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the Severans, though, <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/odessos.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/moushmov/odessos.html" rel="nofollow">Moushmov</a> only lists this reverse for Severus Alexander and not for Elagabalus or Caracalla.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not to say that the coin couldn&#039;t be from another city. But I think [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] is on the right track.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
