<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 7992335, member: 42773&quot;]I did come across a coin I sold earlier in the year that belongs in this thread. Not Ptolemais, but Berytus - further north. Berytus would evolve into the modern capitol of Lebanon, Beirut. Caracalla may have been a real stinker, but his bust certainly made for commanding coins. What&#039;s the numismatic equivalent of photogenic? Nummogenic?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1386640[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>PHOENICIA, Berytus.</p><p><i>Caracalla. </i>197-217 AD.</p><p>AR Tetradrachm, 28mm, 13.0g, 12h; Struck AD 215-217.</p><p>Obv.: AVT KAI ANTWNINOC CЄB; Laureate bust right.</p><p>Rev.: ΔHMAPΧ EΞ YΠATO Δ; Eagle with spread wings standing facing, head left wreath in beak; between legs, prow left.</p><p>Reference: Prieur 1292</p><p><i>ex-JAZ Numismatics, ex-DePew Collection.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
