<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 2317609, member: 21445&quot;]I had a Augustus Tet. but traded it off for many coins that I will share later. Bought this as a slight upgrade to my older one. Not as worn and more of the legends show on the obverse. Plus it&#039;s issued at a earlier time period, <b>maybe from the year Jesus was born.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://s1.postimg.org/3l1884zr3/augtet.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Augustus (27 BC-14 AD)</p><p>AR Tetradrachm</p><p>Syria-Antiochia ad Orontem</p><p>O: KAIΣAPOΣ ΣEB_AΣTOY, Laureate head right</p><p>R: ETOYΣ-ZK-NIKHΣ, Tyche seated right on rocks, palm branch in left hand, river god Orontes swimming right below, YPA monogram, IB / ANT monogram in right field Regnal Year 27 (5/4 BC), COS 12.</p><p>27mm</p><p>14.06g</p><p>Prieur 51; RPC 4152; McAlee 181</p><p>Ex David Hendin, 2004</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: The ZK breaking the reverse legend is the regnal year 27, IB is for consulship 12.
