| Lot description: ROMAN IMPERIAL AND PROVINCIAL COINS CILICIA. Tarsus. Hadrian, 117-138 AD. Tridrachm (Silver, 27 mm, 9.40 g, 12 h), mid 120s. ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΘΕ ΤΡΑ ΠΑΡ ΥΙ ΘΕ ΝΕΡ ΥΙ ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟC CE Laureate bust of Hadrian to right, with balteus and with drapery on his far shoulder. Rev. TAPCEΩN MHTPOΠΟΛΕΩC Lion to left, attacking a bull kneeling to left. Prieur 765. RPC III 3264. Attractive and lightly toned. Minor graffiti on the obverse and reverse, otherwise, nearly extremely fine. From a European collection. The reverse type used for this tridrachm is taken directly from the staters of Mazaios, issued over 450 years earlier; this shows that those coins were still known during the reign of Hadrian and, even, that they may well have been collected! Estimate: 500 CHF |  |
