<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 24598030, member: 87809&quot;]Yes, you are right, it is ΦI-ΛAΔЄΛΦIA which translates to &quot;of Philadelphia&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not in RPC, but in GRPC Lydia which stands for &quot;Greek and Roman Provincial Coins of Lydia. It is the first corpus of coins of Lydia which, unlike BMC, SNG Copenhagen, SNG München, Gökyıldırım, Von Aulock, Mionet etc, is not limited to examples in single collections.</p><p>Publishers Comments / John Aiello</p><p>General Introduction / Dane Kurth</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that it is not in RPC online, because it is not attributed to an emperor. Since the date is 193-235 AD it could be from any emperor Pertinax to Severus Alexander. But, (why is there always a but?) under Caracalla, Philadelphia housed an imperial cult; its coins bore the word “<i>neokoron</i>”. So maybe this coin was minted under Caracalla?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
