Looking for general hints and directions of what to search 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarmur Posted September 24, 2023 · Member Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 The 1st pic belongs to the last coin sorry. I think this is an anonymous roman provincial coin with an eagle holding a thunderbolt. 2nd one looks roman provincial as well (2 portraits I think Tyche is one of them), 3rd has Hercules and his club on the reverse I believe, 4th is roman provincial Augustus with Apollo with a bow? 5th looks like an anonymous (Trajan maybe) roman provincial with an altar sacrifice reverse.

ambr0zie Posted September 24, 2023 · Member Share Posted September 24, 2023 Not fully convinced, but I think first coin is a pseudo autonomous from Tomis. But I don't like the fact that the ending of the portrait neck is different on the listed examples https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/2/412B 2 - difficult. Obverse - radiate; reverse - head of Tyche indeed. But in front of her there is something else - a Victory/Nike?! The style made me think about Tarsos - but I couldn't find a match in this city. A close coin is from Antioch, Philip II. I am again not convinced 😐 bust is different and Tyche does not have anything in front, plus a ram above and I don't think it will help. I think it is identifiable but you would need to decipher the legends 3 - Hadrian, Hypaepa https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1657953 4 - Tiberius, Acmonea, with Artemis reverse https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/3169A 5 - a coin from the time of Gordian III, city - Aphrodisias, showing Demos on the obverse and an uncommon depiction of Aphrodite (but classic for this city) https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/7.1/632 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
