Zeus</b></i>&quot;.&nbsp; Zeus clearly looks a bit more Roman Provincial and a little younger (more 2nd century AD).&nbsp; Not 100% on the attribution, I would value a second or third opinion.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was going to post it today in the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/follow-the-coin-theme-game-ancient-edition-post-%E2%80%98em-if-you-got-%E2%80%98em.300099/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/follow-the-coin-theme-game-ancient-edition-post-%E2%80%98em-if-you-got-%E2%80%98em.300099/">post-em-if-you-got-em thread</a>, but was too slow...and then, I thought it might be worthy of it&#039;s own thread.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]937078[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Lucius Verus</b> Ӕ As of Antioch, Seleucis and Pieria</p><p>AD 161-169.</p><p><b>Obv: </b>AVT K Λ AVPHΛOVHPOC CЄB, laureate head right</p><p><b>Rev:</b> S•C within wreath</p><p><b>Size:</b> 12.76g, 20mm</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the appeals of this coin is the thick heavy lump of a flan:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]937082[/ATTACH]</p><p>During the battle with Parthia in AD 161-166 - Lucius apparently stayed mostly in Antioch and spent his summers in the resort of Daphne ~5 miles from Antioch..&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Share your coins of Antioch, Seleucis and Pieria, hefty AEs or anything else that interests you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
