<p>[QUOTE="WuntBeDruv, post: 25242552, member: 115520"]Following a bit more research from myself, I feel certain this is a civic issue of Eusebeia probably struck in the late 1st century BC (aka. the Cappadocian pre-cursor to Roman Caesarea). The ethnic under the rocky mount reads ΕΥΣΕΒΕΙΑΣ. This is partially visible on my coin. I have found two other coins via biddr archive which are of the same issue, both very similar weight and size. However, there are none like this on RPC which depict only Mt. Argaeus and the ethnic - we certainly have coins depicting Tyche (RPC 1 3609, 3612, 3616A, 3618) but these all have date letters. So - perhaps something new. More work to be done, more obscure journal articles to consult![ATTACH=full]1609314[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1609313[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
