T is for Trajan Tetradrachm and maybe Tyre Antioch or even Rome

Trajan Ar Tetradrachm Antioch? 103-111 AD Obv Head right laureate eagle standing right with folded wings below. bust of Melkart right laureate draped with lions skin. Mc Alee 455A RPC 3529 15.03 grms 26 mm Photo by W. Hansenanttrajan2.jpg.6fb83cd354490412b0169fc666c76f75.jpgThe eastern issues of the later half of the First Century AD and the early half of the Second, have been the cause of much scholarly debate over the last few decades. Increasingly the presence of silver coins with Greek legends and local denominations have been identified as being the products of the mint of Rome. Whether this coin is one of them remains a bit of a question.
