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].
