Very rare and important issue.

When Pescennius was proclaimed emperor by his troops in AD 193, he knew his reign as emperor would not be peaceful. He quickly set out to issue huge sums of denarii in his name to pay his troops and to win the loyalty of others. To do this, like so many before him, Pescennius reduced the fineness of his denarii to a point that they were equivalent to the Caesarean drachm. This coin provides a direct link to these events, combining a denarius obverse die and a drachm reverse die. This coin also presents clear evidence that both Antioch and Caesarea struck coins for Pescennius.

Lampsakos (AD 249-251) AE 21678 viewsTrajan Decius, 249-251 AD. AE21 (4.15g). AVT KOI TPAIAN ΔEK[IOC], draped, laureate bust right / ΛANVAKHN / [Ω]N - EΠI AΠOΛΛ[ΩN?] - ETOV, Priapos standing left, draped from hips, showing Ithyphallos, holding Thyrsos left and Kantharos right. Very rare, F+/-VF. Hoeft coll.

ΛAN erroneous for ΛAM, but there are some open questions too: KOI seems to be erroneous for KAI, magistrate AΠOΛΛΩNITOC couldn't be found until now. Priapos was born by Aphrodite in Lampsakos. Therefore Lampsakos was the centre of warshipping of Priapos. Here his depiction was more like Dionysos who was said to be his father.
