My latest post on sullacoins.com gets to the bottom of this coin and Tel Dor (Dora) which can be found in modern Israel. Around 30 BCE, Mark Antony temporarily gave Dora (along with other Phoenician cities) to Cleopatra VII, but after Augustus’ victory, Dora reverted to Herod and then to direct Roman administration. By the 1st century CE, Dora was culturally and administratively part of the Roman Levant. Josephus refers to Caesarea as being midway between Dor and Joppa, reflecting that contemporaries viewed Dora as a Phoenician city.
