Benefactor KenDorney Posted June 7, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 7, 2022 I bought this Antoninus Pius as it intrigued me. RPC mentions that some issues from Hierapolis of Pius have the features of Hadrian, so I thought it was kind of interesting. But looking through RPC Online I could not find a link, so I assume its unpublished and wanted to ask and see if there was something out there. When I catalog my collection I really like to place published references, so I cant do that until I get a consensus. I'm simply typing in the legend as I see it, not as it should be as this example doesn't seem to follow normal syntax. Antoninus Pius Cyrrhestica, Hierapolis Mint 23mm, 10.20 grams Obverse: ---A (or Λ) TI A (or Λ) IΛ -- P C (or E) IANTWNEIN, Laureate bust of Pius right with slight drapery on far shoulder. Reverse: ΘΕΑCCYPI ACIEPOΠΟ Α in three lines within wreath. I'm sure I have mixed some of the legend up, as often when one looks too closely they simply dont see what is right there, but as far as I can see its as yet unpublished, but I want to get opinions before I submit to RPC. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsyas Mike Posted June 8, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have two from Cyrrhestica for Antoninus Pius, but they are in such poor shape, I doubt they help with your query. They are similar, but not the same, at least according to what I found on RPC at the time; both the bust look pretty AP to me: Antoninus Pius Æ 19 (c. 138-161 A.D.) Syria, Cyrrhestica, Hierapolis [ΑΥΤο ΚΑΙ ΤΙ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡΙ] ΑΝΤωΝƐΙΝΟϹ ϹƐΒ, laureate bust wearing cuirass and paludamentum right / ΘƐΑϹϹΥΡ[Ι] ΑϹΙƐΡΟΠΟ, Δ below, within laurel wreath. RPC IV.3 8546; cf. Butcher 15. (7.63 grams / 19 mm) eBay Oct. 2020 Antoninus Pius Æ 21 (c. 138-161 A.D.) Cyrrhestica, Hieropolis, Syria [ΑΥΤο ΚΑΙ ΤΙ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡΙ ΑΝΤWΝƐΙΝΟϹ ϹƐΒ ƐΥϹƐΒ] laureate bust wearing cuirass and paludamentum right / ΘƐΑϹ ϹΥΡΙΑϹ ΙƐΡΟΠΟ, Ɛ below, within laurel wreath. RPC 6977; cf.
