From the collection of Eric ten Brink, Leu Web Auction 26, 8-13 July 2023, 2586, ex Classical Numismatic Group E-Auction 436, 23 January 2019, 329 and Naumann E-Auction 44, 7 August 2016, 635.

The obverse legend of this very interesting coin praises Hadrian as the city founder. Stratonicaea was, as the Hellenistic name suggests, originally founded either by Antiochos I or Eumenes II. Under Trajan, it was connected in a sympolity with its neighbouring settlement of Indeipedion, and the two settlements were eventually absorbed into Hadrian's new foundation of Stratonicaea-Hadrianopolis, established in 123.

Starting price: 25 CHF
