<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 24708677, member: 92212&quot;]There is a definite resemblance in the obverse portraiture of the Domitian-era types and the mid-to-late 1st century BC types.&nbsp; Somewhat similarly, both types feature a figure standing vertically in the central portion of the reverse.&nbsp; This can confuse attempts to attribute heavily worn or damaged examples of these types.</p><p><br /></p><p>However it would seem that a quick differentiation would be the following:</p><p>A standing Athena with shield, holding a small Nike is Flavian-era.</p><p>A standing winged-Nike extending a wreath is 1st century BC.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Not to mention the diameter being a helpful attribution determinant (23-24 mm Domitian-era -vs- 19-20 mm 1st century BC).</p><p><br /></p><p>The earlier types (mine above and the O.P.) are cited with dates which do not precisely agree, yet do fall in the 1st century BC such as &quot;66-48 BC&quot;, &quot;66-27 BC&quot;, &quot;time of Pompey the Great&quot;, &quot;time of Pompey the Great or later (Circa 66-27 BC)&quot;, &quot;66 - 30 v. Chr.&quot;, and a quite ambiguous &quot;after 66 BC&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; See examples here:</p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=SNG+Levante+881+Nike&amp;category=1-2&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=SNG+Levante+881+Nike&amp;category=1-2&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=SNG+Levante+881+Nike&amp;category=1-2&amp;lot=&amp;date_from=&amp;date_to=&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;images=1&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;order=1</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
