AV K M ANTΩNI ΓOPΔIANOC C, laureate head right / ЄΠI KOP AΛЄΞANΔ POV ΦIΛOMHΛЄ ωN, River-god Gallos recumbent left, holding cornucopiae and reed, behind him, inverted vase. Almost very fine.

Metropolis (AD 98-117) AE 22 - Trajan263 viewsTrajan, 98-117 AD. AE22 (6.23g). Laureate head right; c/m: ΔAK / Cybele seated left, holding patera; IΩNIA. Nice VF, dark gray patina.

The ΔAK counterstamp is almost always found applied to the end of the obverse legend. It presumably was applied shortly after Trajan's assumption of the title Dacicus in late 102 AD. This is one of the few issues in the provincial series that actually spells out the name of the Province, in this case Ionia.

Side (AD 166-177) AE 19 - Commodus263 viewsCommodus, as Caesar, 166-177 AD. AE19 (3.52g, 6h). AVT KAIC Λ A KOMMOΔON, bareheaded, draped, and cuirassed bust right / CI ΔH T ωN, Athena standing facing, head left, extending hand and holding spear. Good VF, green patina. Apparently unique. Group CEM.

This coin is quite possibly the first coin of Commodus issued anywhere. His earliest issues at Rome are conventionally dated to AD 175, but are certainly struck after he attained the title of Germanicus in AD 172. This coin, however, shares a reverse die with an issue of Lucius Verus (SNG France 807), and it is unlikely that this die would have been retained so long after Verus died in AD 169. As this piece does not exhibit significant die wear, it is more likely that it was struck concurrently with the issue of Verus, while Commodus was Caesar, ca AD 166-169.

Side (AD 254-268) AE 31 - Salonina263 viewsSalonina, Augusta, 254-268 AD. AE31 - 11 Assaria (16.29g, 1h). Draped bust right, wearing stephane; IA (mark of value) before / Tyche seated left on rocks; at feet, half-length figure of river-god Melas swimming right; all within tetrastyle shrine; pomegranate above, Δ–Є flanking roof of shrine. Near VF, rough green patina. Rare. Group CEM.

An interesting type which copies a very identifiable shrine found on the coinage of Antioch. The engraver even went so far as to copy the “Δ Є” found on the Antiochene types, which is generally thought to stand for the office of the emperor as tribune (Δημαρχικης Єξουςιας) or, more likely, for the four eparchies (Δ Єπαρχειων) which the Antiochene coinage would circulate in: Commagene, Coele-Syria, Syria, and Phoenicia.
