<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3011303, member: 75937&quot;]Hi, gang! I hope you can help me. This was sold to me as a quasi-autonomous issue of Smyrna in Ionia, SNG Cop 1304. But looking at the coin&#039;s inscription, I don&#039;t believe that&#039;s the case. I believe it&#039;s of Stratoniceia. I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s the one in Caria or in Lydia, though. Does anybody know of another example online or a reference number? Anyone know which city issued it and when?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]746849[/ATTACH]</p><p>Quasi-autonomous issue, AD ???</p><p>Stratoniceia (Magistrate Strategos?)</p><p>8.01 g, 26.1 mm, 5 h</p><p>Obv: ΙЄΡΑ CVΝ [ΚΛΗΤΟC], bust of Senate, right</p><p>Rev: CΤΡ•CΤΡΑΤΟΝЄ[ΙΚ...], Winged Nemesis* advancing right, hand bent and plucking chiton at her neck, holding bridle in left hand</p><p>Refs: ???</p><p><br /></p><p>*The plucking of the chiton (so as to spit on the breast to ward off the evil eye) and the bridle in hand identify the deity as Nemesis, distinguishing her from the other winged goddess, Nike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
