Ancient Greek and Roman coins from Asia Minor


Coin ID #7181

Miletos (AD 14-120) AE 19

1st-early 2nd century AD. AE19 (3.15g, 6h). Laureate head right / Cult statue of Apollo Didymaeus standing right, holding stag and bow; star to right. Fine, green patina, earthen deposits. Alighieri Coll.

The imperial portrait coinage from Miletus with title CEBACTOC cannot be precisely assigned to ruler. Some portraits resemble Nero, others Titus, Domitian and Trajan. The portrait on this coin looks much like Tiberius, but the lunate form of “Σ” (i.e., “C”) found on this coin was not in use at Miletus until the reign of Nero.
