shanxi Posted November 12, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Do you agree that this coin comes from Adana, Cilicia (ΑΔΑΝΕΩΝ) or am I wrong. If yes I will submit it to RPC. There is no coin of Faustina II for Adana either in RPC or in Isegrimm, SNG. Cop. or in "Coinage of Adana in Cilicia" by Levante.

ambr0zie Posted November 12, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) You might be correct. I found another coin, from Sillyum, looking (slightly) similar https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/5723 I am not saying it is a match (obverse legend is different, reverse legend, reverse missing the rider - even if for a moment I thought I got it) - but Faustina's portrait plus the artistic depiction of the horse are similar. And the horizontal line under the horse. I am tempted to say these coins are somehow connected. I checked provincials from Adana and the legends I found are AΔPIANIΩN AΔANЄΩN not just AΔANЄΩN Edited November 12, 2022 by ambr0zie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanxi Posted November 12, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Thanks for looking. Yes, the style of the coin in the link is quite similar, but as you mention there are also several differences. There is also a similar horse type from Adana, but 300 years earlier: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9232975 Edited November 12, 2022 by shanxi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientOne Posted November 12, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 12, 2022 I think you are probably right with Adana. Oh, now I see the A over horses tail! Nice coin BTW! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanxi Posted November 12, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Thanks to all. I will submit it to RPC. And I forgot. Please post your coins from Adana, Cilicia or anything that fits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
