Reference request for Julia Soaemias from Side
« on: February 17, 2019, 05:39:56 pm »
Picked this up at a local coin show today.  Large Severan era provinicials from Pamphylia are not common which is what drew my interest.  Having gotten home, I have not been able to identify a reference (not in BMC, Lindgren, wildwinds, or acsearch) although it appears to be an obverse die match with this coin on asiaminorcoins.com, https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=266&pid=12637#top_display_media. 

Can anyone supply a reference?  Thanks!

A coin of Aquilia Severa at Side seems to share its rev. die with yours: SNG Paris 831.

Thanks, Curtis!  So this may be a new or, at least, a rare combination.

Not in RPC temp. online, who list eight types for Soaemias at Side.

I don't know how complete the collection of material for RPC Elagabalus is. Still I don't doubt that your coin is quite rare!

Here is the reverse picture of the Paris coin. The description says :
Reverse : CIΔHTΩN   Athena standing left, a phiale and a spear in hands; an agonistic wreath on a table with two palms.

Yes, a rare combination, also missing from databank Isegrim!

You should submit your coin to RPC online!

I'm sure the authors and editiors would be grateful to be able to add its description and picture to their database.
