Sagetype Posted July 29, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hello everyone, As i'm new on this forum, i don't kno if there is a place to intriduce himself, let me know I am taking advantage of the summer to deepen some research that has not been successful before.I am the proud owner of the piece below better is : .... but it's not mine with the help of other enthusiasts its provenance has been narrowed down to two possibilities: A/ Aspendos, Pamphylia, 190-30 BC, for which I find a lot of references in catalogs (mainly SNG-Copenhagen, SNG Deutschland: (PfPs), BMC_Grece_Lycia Pamphylia Pisidia and Kleinasiatische Münzen – Imhoof) B/ Askalon (Ascalon) (Yashin 51) but for this reference, I can't find much except perhaps another one: Rosenberger 1972, 39, n.41-42 (undated). But these are citations or referral without more descriptions or illustrations conducive to comparison. Would any scholar among you have the works of Yashin and/or Rosemberg and could send me the following extracts:Chaim Yashin: - From Ascalon to Raphia: P 41, n°.49 to 53Rosenberger: The Rosenberger Israel Collection: containing Aelia Kapitolina, Akko, Anthedon, Antipatris and Ascalon: P 39 n°.41-42 Thanks in advance and see you soon 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanxi Posted July 29, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) There is an example with a similar reverse for Ascalon (https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/4874), but rpc online does not list your type with the shield.
