| Lot number: 1239 | |
| Lot description: PHRYGIA. Eucarpeia. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Hemiassarion (Bronze, 17 mm, 2.78 g, 12 h), Pedia Secunda, epimeletheisa, time of Hadrian, 117-138. ЄΥΚΑΡΠЄΩΝ Bare-headed and draped bust of Hermes to right; behind neck, kerykeion. Rev. ЄΠΙ ΠЄΔΙΑC CЄΚΟΥΝΔΗC Boukranion surmounted by crescent; above, two stars. BMC 4-5. RPC III 2593. Some deposits, otherwise, very fine. This is one of the few cases of a woman financing a coin emission: Pedia Secunda must have been an unusually wealthy woman and apparently played an important role in her town. RPC speculates that she may have been the wife of P. Cl. Max. Marcellianus, who is known from other coins of Eucarpeia (see RPC III, p. 863). Starting Price: 25 CHF |  |
