<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2013890, member: 42773"]This is an example of one type of what is called the civic, or pagan coinage struck under Maximian II. The obverse legend is GENIO ANTIOCHENI, and it's Tyche seated with the river god Orontes swimming below. (But you're right - it looks more like dancing than swimming.) The reverse legend is APOLLINI SANCTO - it's Apollo standing, holding a lyre and wreath. All of these types were struck at Antioch.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are somewhat scarce, but not terribly so. I need to collect one myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
