| Lot number: 461 | |
| Lot description: Cilicia, Mopsus Æ 16mm. Pseudo-autonomous issue, time of Claudius, AD 41-54. Diademed head of Apollo to right, quiver over shoulder / Tripod; ЄTOYC upwards to left, Γ upwards to right. RPC I 4084A (uncertain Caesarea). 3.60g, 16mm, 1h. Good Very Fine. From the Roman Provincial Images Collection. B. Tahberer argues in 'A Series of Coins from an Uncertain Caesarea', NC 175, 2015, pp. 47-55, that this series was struck at Mopsus between AD 45/6 and AD 50/1, during a period in which Mopsus called itself Caesarea, though "one can only speculate as to why the change was so short-lived" (p. 53). Estimate: 50 GBP |  |
