<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3139924, member: 75937&quot;]Hi, all. Hope one of you Roman provincial gurus could help me with this. There appear to be only two other examples of this little bronze of Elagabalus online and I&#039;ve checked acsearchinfo, CoinArchives, Wildwinds, and the Coin Project. None of the two examples provide attribution information apart from listing the catalogs which do not contain the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have access to Varbanov, RPC, or to AMNG for Thrace. If anyone does, please be so kind as to look up this coin. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, please post comments, coins of Philippopolis, Elagabalus provincials, or whatever you feel is relevant!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]802525[/ATTACH]</p><p>Elagabalus, AD 218-222.</p><p>Roman AE 19.0 mm, 3.12 g, 6 h.</p><p>Thrace, Philippopolis, AD 218-22.</p><p>Obv: ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΑVΡ - ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟC, laureate head, right.</p><p>Rev: ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟ / Ρ - ΩΝ, Hera standing left, holding patera and scepter.</p><p>Refs: Sear Greek Imp --; Moushmov --; BMCG --; SNG Cop --; Lindgren II --; Lindgren III --.</p><p>Notes: Philippopolis became a Neocorate city during the reign of Elagabalus.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a reverse die match to this coin, which went unsold in two auctions:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]802528[/ATTACH]</p><p>Jean Elsen &amp; ses Fils S.A., <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=501628" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=501628" rel="nofollow">Auction 97, lot 487</a>, Sept 13, 2008.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]802529[/ATTACH]</p><p>Numismatik Lanz München, <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=69453" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=69453" rel="nofollow">Auction 97, lot 815</a>, May 22, 2000.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is the same TYPE as this one, but not a reverse die-match:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]802536[/ATTACH]</p><p>Heritage Europe (formerly MPO Auctions), <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1976179" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1976179" rel="nofollow">Auction 42, lot 220</a>, May 21, 2014.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite its similarity, it is NOT the same type as this one, where Hera is sacrificing over an altar, which is attributed to Varbanov 1780 at Wildwinds and by Roma Numismatics:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]802537[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roma Numismatics Limited, <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3222865" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3222865" rel="nofollow">E-sale 29, lot 291</a>, August 27, 2016.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
