Hi All,

J for Joppa (Jaffa)

image.png.d7fce0292055e8bd4879ea5068786e5a.png

 


PTOLEMY III EUERGETES (246-222 BCE)
PHOENICIA, JOPPA, SERIES 5, BRONZE WEIGHT STANDARD 2
Æ 1/4 OBOL = 2 CHALKOI

Size: 15 mm
Weight: 2.24 g
Die Axis: 11:00
Broucheion Collection P-2007-03-25.001

OBV: Head of Zeus Ammon facing right with ram's horn, wearing taenia with basileion. Centration depression. Dotted border.
REV: Εagle on thunderbolt facing left, wings closed; Harpa in left field. Legend to left: ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ; to right: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ. Centration depression. Dotted border.

Refs: Lorber CPE-B474; Svoronos-819, pl xxiii, 20 [11 listed]: as Ptolemy II; SNG Köln 113.

Notes: Svoronos assigned this series of bronzes to Ioppe (Jaffa) because their mintmark, the harpe, was the weapon of Perseus, who according to myth rescued Andromeda in the harbor of Ioppe. These bronzes complement those of Tyre above and thus belong in the latter reign of Ptolemy III rather than that of Ptolemy II, where Svoronos placed them.
