| Lot number: 683 | |
| Lot description: PHRYGIA. Laodicea ad Lycum. Pseudo-autonomous issue. 'Medallion' (Bronze, 35 mm, 23.95 g, 12 h), P. Kl. Attalos, archiereus, circa 139-144, but probably 142/3. ΙЄΡΑ СYΝΚΛΗΤΟС Draped bust of the Roman Senate to left. Rev. Π Κ ΑΤΤΑΛΟС ЄΠΙΝΙΚΙΟΝ ΑΝЄΘΗ - ΛΑΟ-ΔΙ/ΚЄ-ΩΝ Winged Nemesis standing front, head to left, raising her right hand towards her head. RPC IV online 2977. Extremely rare, perhaps the third known example. An attractive and very interesting pseudo-autonomous issue of fine style. Some flan faults and with a scratch on the obverse, otherwise, very fine. Ex Italo Vecchi 6, 9 June 1997, 481. The reverse legend of this interesting issue translates as: 'P. Kl. Attalos dedicated (this coin) on the occasion of the victory celebrations, (coin) of the Laodiceans'. RPC IV dates the benefaction of P. Kl. Attalos to Laodicea, which includes coins for Marcus Aurelius Verus Caesar, to circa 139-144, meaning that the victory celebrated on our coin was most likely the British Victory of Antoninus Pius of 142.
