Elaiousa-Sebaste (BC 93-84) Tetradrachm659 viewsca 93-84 BC. AR Tetradrachm (15.82g, 1h). Turreted and veiled head of Tyche right / Female (Aphrodite?) standing left, holding tiller; monogram and aplustre to outer left, ZH to inner left. Near EF, toned, areas of slight roughness. Extremely rare. From the Garth R. Drewry Collection. Ex Triton VI (1/2003), lot 441; Tkalec and Rauch (11/1987), lot 141.

Seven tetradrachms of Elaiussa are apparently known: Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale; Washington, Smithsonian (broken); London, British Museum; SNG Levante Supp. 221; CNG 36, lot 2037; CNG 45, lot 475; and the present specimen. According to Houghton and Bendall, the present piece appeared in 1986 in a hoard which also included seven Aegeae tetradrachms. The issue is to be dated after c. 95-94 BC, when Seleukos VI struck coins at Elaiussa, but before 83 BC, when Tigranes extinguished the city's independent existence. Elaiussa was an island in antiquity but is now joined to the mainland.

Olba (AD 69-81) AE 24- Domitian604 viewsDomitian, as Caesar and Titus, 69-81 AD. AE24 (15.79g). ΔOMITIANOY KAIΣAPOΣ, bare head of Domitian left / AYTOKPATOPOΣ TITOY OYEΣΠACIANOY, bare head of Titus right. Olive green patina, VF. Very rare.

RPC 1720 lists five specimens, all from the same die pai. The same obverse die of Domitian Caesar was also used for RPC 1721, whose reverse names the koinon of the Lalasseis and the Cennatae, proving that the mint must have been Olba, the metropolis of this koinon. RPC considers this die to have functioned as an obverse die for RPC 1721, but as a reverse die for RPC 1720. But more likely it functioned as an obverse die for both coins.

Kilikia Uncertain (BC 4th cent) Pegasos - Obol703 viewsca 375-333 BCE. AR Obol (0.55g, 9h). Diademed head of Zeus Karneios right, with ram's horn at forehead / Pegasos flying right; uncertain letter below. Good VF, dark toning. Both types completely unknown in the Samarian series.

This surprising Samarian obol combines a Zeus Karneios head that must have been influenced by the types of Kyrene and a Pegasos from the ubiquitous Corinthian staters. Neither seem to have much of a direct connection with Samaria.

Aigeai (AD 216-217) Tetradrachm937 viewsTime of Caracalla, 211-217 AD. Billon Tetradrachm (11.80g). About 216-217. AIΓEAIΩN ANTΩNIINO VΠOΛEΩC Bearded, draped bust of Asclepius r., thin band in the hair, snake-entwined staff at his l. shoulder / MAKEΔONIKHC ΠICTHC ΘEOΦIΛO, Octastyle temple of Asclepius on steps, statue of Asclepius within, wearing himation, holding snake-entwined staff; in the pediment, eagle flying l.; in the field, date Γ-Σ/C (= year 263 of the local era); below, goat r. between two pellets. For a similar tetradrachm honoring likewise Asclepius, see Prieur 86, 723 and H. Bloesch, Caracalla in Aigeai, Atti (Proceedings) Congresso Internazionale di Numismatica, Roma 1961 (1965), 307 seq. Unique, unpublished and very interesting type. Very fine.

The sanctuary of Asclepius in Aegeae was certainly not as famous as the ones in Epidaurus, Kos or Pergamum, but still well known. The rather unusual use of base silver for these rare autonomous issues (dated 262 and 263 of the local era = AD 215/216 ans 216-217) as well as their types refer to an illness of Caracalla and of his attempt of being healed by visiting sanctuaries of Asclepius such as Pergamum and probably Aegeae.
