[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 207769, member: 6370"]my bad, forgot to post that... That coin is listed as roman provincial from Aeolis, Mint: Myrina I think Aeolis (west coast of Anatolia), Murina (myrina) is on the island of Lemnos which is a part of Lesbos...I think. Obverse Type (Tyche city bust amazon murina turreted) Reverse Type (Tyche Holding Rudder and Cornucopia) It doesnt list a date but Anatolia King antiochus III was defeated in 190 BC and given over to the kings of Pergamum. The last king of that line bequeathed the territory to Rome and it came under direct rule in 129 becoing the province of Asia Minor. I think this coin was minted much later well into the imperial period.[/QUOTE]
