| Lot description: Asia Minor, Uncertain mint Octavian (?) Bronze circa 30 BC (?), Æ 19.00 mm., 8.03 g. Bare head r. Rev. Fiscus, sella, quaestoria and hasta; Q below. RPC 5410. FITA p. 13. Nice dark patina, smoothed, otherwise Very Fine. This issue has previously been attributed to a Macedonian mint with the portrait identified either as Brutus (Friedlander), Caesar (Grant), or to the governor of Syria, Gaius Sosius (in the trade). RPC presents a case for an origin in northern Turkey, supported by find data, with a suggestion that the portrait is Octavian. Starting price: 50 GBP |  |
