Many Greek coins employ the genitive in this fashion. The op follows this traditional formula.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman imperial coins typically name the emperor in the Latin nominative case, while provincials follow suit in Greek. The op is unusual in this respect as a provincial issue but would fit in perfectly with the majority of Hellenistic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Latin dative is used occasionally in a commemorative or dedicatory sense (e.g. DIVO CLAVDIO).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
