Wonderful Phoenicia sestertius of Antoninus Pius replacing old one
« on: July 31, 2015, 10:50:15 am »
Just arrived in the mail: An Antoninus Pius Phoenicia sestertius in wonderful condition...

Æ Sestertius (27,11g, 34mm, 6h). Rome mint. Struck AD 139.
Obv.: ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P, laureate head right.
Rev.: PHOENICE around, COS II in ex., S C, Phoenicia, with turreted head-dress, standing left, holding diadem as crown and short sceptre, palm tree behind; prow by left foot.
RIC 587 (R); BMC 1193; Cohen 596; Strack 794; Banti 265 (3 spec.).

I found the previous specimen earlier this year, but it is redundant now...
