<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7945769, member: 19463&quot;]While this is true, many more Provincials use the genitive plural of the city name making the reverse &#039;of the people of the city&#039; rather than just the city itself. What is unusual is a reverse with a scene from the city rather than a goddess/personification sacred to that city.&nbsp; Most of these are temples.&nbsp; Slightly out of the ordinary are the coins below which, I hope, missed being posted in our Sheptember Sheverathon.</p><p>Perinthus, Thrace, did well at the Actian and Pythian games so they made coins showing their trophies. How many coins do you see featuring furniture without someone sitting on it? AE30</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1375971[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Amasia, Pontus, AE32, city walls and tree with large eagle</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1375972[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Most common are the mountain (Argaeus) of Caesarea, Cappadocea.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1375973[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Dekastyle (10 column) temples are less common. AE26 Heliopolis, Syria.&nbsp; Missing from my collection is the same temple shown in 3/4 perspective view.&nbsp; That coin is more common than my flat on front view but is hugely more popular and tends to be out of my price range.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1375974[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Septimius was a massive man in many ways not measured in inches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
