Roman Collector Posted July 8 · Patron Share Posted July 8 I recently purchased this provincial of Crispina from Side in Pamphylia. I wasn't able to find it in any of the standard references and so I submitted it to RPC. As of this morning, it has been added as the exemplar of the issue! It's an obverse die match to RPC IV.3, 10438 (temporary). Crispina, 178-182 CE. Roman provincial Æ 23 .6 mm, 9.68 g, 12 h. Pamphylia, Side, 178-182 CE. Obv: ΚΡΙϹΠΙΝΑ ϹЄΒΑϹΤΗ, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: ϹΙΔΗΤΩΝ, Tyche standing facing, head left, holding rudder and cornucopiae. Refs: RPC IV.3, 25074 (temporary); BMC --; Mionnet --; Sear GIC --; Lindgren I --; Wiczay --. 15 1 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
