Benefactor robinjojo Posted October 5, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) The rough, dark and corroded surfaces on this coin were tough to photograph, but it does have an interesting reverse that depicts a statue of Astarte attended by five figures with one offering what seems to be a laurel wreath and another pouring or putting something on an alter. Any other cons featuring Astarte. She was a popular figure in the coinage of Phoenicia and points east. Otacilia Severa, Coele, Syria, Damascus. Æ 27 244-249 AD. 17.56 grams Edited December 3, 2023 by robinjojo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
