Hi! I recently got this roman provincial coin that I believe comes from greece. I am wondering which emperor is on the coin and what the greek inscription says. Thank you!
I would start looking for matches from Thessalonika under Tiberius. I have nothing similar to show but fans of the Provincials of the 12 Caesars may recognize it.
Doug is right. You can make out enough letters on the reverse (which has the bust of Livia) to read Thessalonika as the issuing city. Something like RPC 1567. Here's one from CNG's archives: 383, Lot: 377. Estimate $100. Sold for $80. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee. MACEDON, Thessalonica. Tiberius, with Julia Augusta (Livia). AD 14-37. Æ (22mm, 9.68 g, 1h). Struck circa AD 22/3-37. Bare head of Tiberius right / Draped bust of Julia Augusta (Livia) right. Touratsoglou, Thessaloniki Em. II(B) 52 (V15/R30); RPC I 1567. VF, dark green patina. From the estate of Thomas Bentley Cederlind.
