[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2945486, member: 57495"]Interesting stuff! I now know who to turn to if I ever get stuck with a provincial :). This one isn’t from a rare city but definitely “not in the greatest condition”. It took me four years to figure it out. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/domitian-phoenicia-ascalon-jpg.691077/[/IMG][B]DOMITIAN[/B] AE24. 10.02g, 24mm. JUDAEA, Ascalon, dated CY 189 (AD 85/6). RPC II 2211; Rosenberger 115. O: Laureate head left. R: Tyche-Astarte standing left on galley, holding scepter and aplustre; altar to left; to right, dove standing left above ΘΠP (date). I had fun hunting this one down too. It was thrown in as a freebie by a seller I bought a group of coins from, presumably because it was in awful condition and he couldn’t figure out what it was either. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/commodus-augusta-old-b-jpg.654970/[/IMG][B]COMMODUS[/B] Very Rare (only one specimen cited by Karbach). AE19. 4.77g, 19.3mm. CILICIA, Augusta, 183/184 AD (Year 164). Karbach, [I]Augusta [/I]p.54, 81 (same obv die); RPC Online Temp 6170 (Marcus Aurelius). O: Laureate head of Commodus right, AV KOMODO [...]. R: AVGOVSTN(sic) ETOY EPD, horse standing right, head turned left; tree to left.[/QUOTE]
