<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 2946854, member: 88401&quot;]Picked up this little bronze RPC with a few others last week to give as gifts for my students,&nbsp; for ten dollars each. It was attributed as an Antoninus Pius from Tyana. But I think it is this very rare Cilicia/Anazarbas issue. One of three known? Could this be correct?[ATTACH=full]718919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]718920[/ATTACH] This is what the seller called it:&quot;NICE ANTONIUS PIUS AE21 TYANA Ancient bronze&nbsp; Roman coin. It measures 21 MM and weighs 7.81&quot;.</p><p>This is what I figure it might be according to acsearch and Wildwinds: </p><p>Acsearch: CILICIA, Anazarbus. Antoninus Pius. 138-161 AD. Æ 22mm (6.15 gm). Dated year 179 (160/161 AD). Radiate head right / Tyche seated left on rocks, holding ear of grain; river-god Pyramos swimming left below. SNG Levante 1388 = Zeigler 143.1 (Vs 3 / Rs 8 - this coin); SNG France-; SNG von Aulock -. Near VF, dark gray patina, rough. Very rare, only two specimens from two different die combinations cited by Zeigler. <img src="http://file:///C:/Users/Michael/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]718923[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
