ID help needed, possibly a Greek coin (I have no experience in these matters!)
« on: February 23, 2015, 04:20:40 pm »
Hi, I've had this coin for years, so long in fact I can't remember where or when I actually got it. I have absolutely no idea about it is or isn't for that matter. It may be a lump of rubbish.
I have always wondered about it though so finally I've made the effort to find out.

Any help identifying it will be much appreciated,

Thanks for reading,


John

This is a roman provincial coin.  The legends are in Greek, but it was struck during the imperial era.  This coin is from Samosata and issued for Philip I.  Something similar to this. Please include a diameter and a weight if you are able.
