<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 3107771, member: 87404&quot;]Hey all, I&#039;ve recently (past couple months) been interested in collecting a range of Roman provincial Antioch bronzes, specifically the &quot;SC in wreath&quot; type (versus AR Eagle Tets). I thought I&#039;d share my small, but budding collection. I&#039;ve got a lot of ones I want that I&#039;ve seen on vcoins &lt;3/hearted, so it&#039;s just a matter of budget and time.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787788[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Claudius, Rule 41-54 AD</b></p><p><b>AE18, Syria, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse: IM•TI•CLA[• CAE]-AV•GER</p><p>Reverse: Large S-C within inner solid boarder, laurel wreath surround, fastened with star at top.</p><p>Reference: RPC 4280; Wruck 26</p><p>Size: 18mm, 7.80g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787785[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Hadrian, Ruled 117-138 AD</b></p><p><b>Seleukis and Pieria, AE20, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; AYTO KAIC TPAI AΔPIANOC CЄB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Reverse: Large S-C, Γ below, within laurel wreath of eight leaves with no inner border, all within dotted border.</p><p>Reference: BMC 426, SNG Cop 245</p><p>Size: 20mm, 6.08g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787787[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Hadrian, Ruled 117-138 AD</b></p><p><b>Seleukis and Pieria, AE20, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; AYTOKP KAIC TPAIANA ΔPIANOC CЄB, Laureate and draped bust right.</p><p>Reverse: S-C, A below, all within laurel-wreath of eight leaves with no inner border, all within dotted border.</p><p>Reference: RPC III 3715, McAlee 539(a)</p><p>Size: 20mm, 6.08g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787790[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Elagabalus, Ruled 218-222 AD</b></p><p><b>Seleukis and Pieria, AE19, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; IMP C MAV[R ANT]ONINVS AVG, laureate bust right, three dots at top of laurel.</p><p>Reverse: ΔE across field, star below, all within wreath of 10 elements fastened at top with garland.</p><p>Reference: BMC 447-50, McAlee 799</p><p>Size: 19mm, 6.94g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787791[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Elagabalus, Ruled 218-222 AD</b></p><p><b>Seleukis and Pieria, AE20, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; IMP C MAVR ANTONINVS [AVG], laureate bust right, three dots at top of laurel.</p><p>Reverse: ΔE across field, star below, all within wreath of 10 elements fastened at top with garland.</p><p>Reference: BMC 447-50, McAlee 799</p><p>Size: 20mm, 4.64g</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787789[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Elagabalus, Ruled 218-222 AD</b></p><p><b>Seleukis and Pieria, AE19, Antioch Mint</b></p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; AYT KAI M AVP&nbsp; ANTWNEINOC, radiate bust right.</p><p>Reverse: S-C within wreath, ΔE above, small eagle standing right with wings spread below.</p><p>Reference: BMC 426, SNG Cop 245</p><p>Size: 19mm, 7.20g</p><p><br /></p><p>------</p><p>In web searching working to ID these, I found that [USER=70512]@Okidoki[/USER] might have a similar soft spot in his heart for Antioch bronzes...specifically Hadrian (as seen on his Forvm gallery).&nbsp; <b><i>Do any others have other emperors from the area?&nbsp; Or any other obv/rev types of similar emperors?</i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
