<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2237091, member: 56859&quot;]I think your obverse has a legend, unlike the various Phoenician bronzes with Tyche obverse.&nbsp; There also appear to be letters under the thing on the reverse.&nbsp; Maybe the reverse is an altar, perhaps something like <a href="http://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=23310#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=23310#" rel="nofollow">this CNG coin</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cngcoins.com/photos/big/610311.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Sale: CNG 61, Lot: 311. Estimate $100.</p><p>Closing Date: Wednesday, 25 September 2002.</p><p>Sold For $60. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>SYRIA, Seleukeia Pieria. Antiochia ad Orontem. Circa 65-66 AD. Æ 18mm (6.43 gm). Veiled and turreted head of Tyche right / Lighted circular altar on legs; ET DIP. BMC Galatia, etc. pg. 161, 85</p><p><br /></p><p>...</p><p><br /></p><p>This looks like a strong possibility, although it would help if you can read the obverse legend.&nbsp; Maybe there are similar coins from other Syrian localities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
