Roman Collector Posted May 20, 2023 · Patron Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Very nice, @gencho kitov, and scarce, too! I have provincial of Plautilla from Nicaea. It's unlisted in the major references, from what I can tell. Plautilla, AD 202-205. Roman provincial Æ 15.8 mm, 3.08 g. Bithynia, Nicaea. Obv: ΠΛΑVΤΙΛΛΑ CEΒΑCΤΗ, bare-headed and dr. bust, right. Rev: ΝΙΚΑ-ΙΕΩΝ, Demeter standing left, holding long torch. Refs: BMC --; Sear --; Mionnet --; Wiczay --; Lindgren --.A CNG listing says to compare the coin to Waddington's Recueil General Des Monnaies Grecques D'Asie Mineure (RG), 494, pl. LXXX. But that catalog listing is for an Æ 27--quite a bit bigger and it has a different obverse legend: Edited May 20, 2023 by Roman Collector 9 Quote

hotwheelsearl Posted May 21, 2023 · Member Posted May 21, 2023 How about a Plautilla with 0/5 surfaces on the back? 4 1 Quote
