Claudius of Thessalonica
« on: March 28, 2017, 03:49:22 pm »
Hello,

I have this Claudius/Athena of Thessalonica 25mm 10.4g.  I did not find it in RPC.  Does anyone have Touratsoglou's book on Thessalonica?  I won't buy his book because it's in German which I can't read.  This coin seems to be rare.  Thanks to anyone for the help.  Mark.

Looks like RPC 1435, Thessalian League, Tiberius, under Antigonos Strategos:

Ah, thanks much Curtis, no wonder I could not find it in RPC, I was looking at the Claudius section because the seller sold it as Claudius. My bad.
