LYDIA, Nacrasa Hadrian Ae. Tyche standing marked?
« on: July 01, 2018, 05:53:02 am »
Dear cf,

To my eyes the cm looks more like a Telesphoros than a amphora?
I see on my coin and on pictured coin in RPC III head  and 2 legs
http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/1806/

what do you think?


Reference.
RPC III, 1806

Obv.   ΑΥ ΚΑΙ СΕ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟС
Laureate and cuirassed bust of Hadrian, right CM Telesphoros?

Rev.   ΝΑΚΡΑСΙΤΩΝ
Tyche standing l., wearing kalathos, holding rudder in r. hand, cornucopia in l.

The same countermark with legs was also applied on the Herakles/Omphalos type:
