<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 4700227, member: 75641"]That’s a very interesting coin, [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER]. I also have not seen a year 19 for Geta. I honestly would have never thought there would be an issue because there were large gaps in the production years for some unknown reason (at least unknown to me). It is attractive to me that the legends are unusually complete. These Caesarean coins seem to have worn pretty hard on the edges. But I’m a sucker for them anyway. I’ve also discovered the bronze issues from Caesarea and they are pretty great, especially the 30-1mm issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1154616[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Provincial, Caesarea, Cappadocia, AE30, ΜΗΤΡΟΠ KAICAPC</b></p><p>AE30</p><p>Roman Provincial: Caesarea, Cappadocia</p><p>Julia Domna</p><p>Born circa: 170AD - Died: 217AD</p><p>Augusta: 193 - 217AD</p><p>Issued: 205AD</p><p>30.0mm 17.19gr 0h</p><p>O: IOYΛΙΑ ΔΟΜΝΑ ΑΥ; Draped bust, right.</p><p>R: ΜΗΤΡΟΠ KAICAPC; (MH ligate) Agama of Mt.
