I would say it's either 1179/1178, both are basically the same denomination. I also wouldn't rule out 1202. The size doesn't matter as much being 12 or 14mm but the weights match. Yes that is my site.

Celator started following Gold to silver ratio in Roman empire. , SC599 or SC1179 , A Damascene Bronze of Antiochos XI or Antiochos XII? and 5 others

What is the size/weight? Here is your first option. Unfortunately I haven't had time to get past Seleucus II.

Maybe this will become a ongoing pile on thread. My latest Antiochus IV Epiphanes Mint: Antioch on the Orontes Denomination C 173 to 169 BC Obvs: Radiate and diademed head of Antiochus right. Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY on right, ΘEoY EΠIΦANoYΣ on left. Aegis with gorgoneion in center. AE 15mm, 4.00g Ref: SC 1411; HGC 9, 688(R2) Allegedly these are part of a special unknown emission and possibly influenced Antiochus from his time in Rome as a hostage.

Nah I don't see a resemblance

Constans II, the numismatic version of Rodney Dangerfield
Celator replied to Nerosmyfavorite68's topic in Byzantine
With that obverse I would lean towards sb 1004. The others have a standing Constans II. Yours also appears to be over struck on another follis. -
A Damascene Bronze of Antiochos XI or Antiochos XII?
Celator replied to Anaximander's topic in Greek
Correct Philadelphus only has 2 bronze coins known, both with Athena reverse. The link to ANS has an incorrect attribution. The pictured coin is Antiochus Dionysos. The old BMC catalog has some out dated attributions which are now 140 years old! Regarding the title ΚΑΛΛΙΝΙΚΟΥ, that belongs to Antiochus XII. It refers to his title from 2 mints meaning philometor Euergetes Callinicus. -

That's quite the trial. As I recall as of a few years ago dealers must register their inventory in order to be able to sell, putting a lot of them out of business. Nice tets in this post! Antiochos VIII Mint: Sidon AR Tetradrachm Year 197, 116/115 BC Obvs: Diademed head of Antiochos right within fillet border. Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EΠIФANOYΣ, Zeus Ouranios standing left, holding star and scepter. Outer left, ΣIΔΩ IEP Σ٩P in three lines above monogram. Date in exergue, all within wreath. 28x30mm, 16.22g Ref: SC 2330.2; HGC 9, 1197g(R2)

The current market is heavily manipulated and not anywhere close to reality. Price is artificially held low by creating fake AV/AR spot trading in LBMA and others and rehypothecated. It's so bad JP Morgan is slapped with a billion dollar fine without blinking.

That is a great type made after the battle of Ipsus utilizing those elephants. Apamea was certainly the hub for the elephantarchs. All of these pieces tie together nicely.
