Ancient Greek and Roman coins from Asia Minor


Coin ID #5033

Uncertain (AD 14) AE 25 - Augustus

Divus Augustus, died 14 AD. AE25 (10.20g, 12h). Bare head right / ΘEON AYTOKP A [TOPA], capricorn right, holding globe, bearing cornucopia on back. VF, black-green patina. Ex Villemur Coll.; ex Freeman & Sear 3 (12/1996), lot 724 .

While Grant in Essays Mattingly posited a mint in Cilicia for this coin’s origin, his hypothesis is far from conclusive. The similarity between this coin and RPC 5448 suggests they are part of the same issue, possibly struck shortly after the accession of Tiberius to the throne and the deification of Augustus, as evidenced by the legend, ΘEON AYTOKP A [TOPA].
