Phrygia or Cilicia, Hieropolis (or Hieropolis-Castabala)
« on: January 14, 2020, 09:42:05 am »
Dear Friends,

I, too, cannot figure out of this is Phrygia, Hieropolis or Cilicia  Hieropolis-Castabala. I could also not find a reference besides
asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=468&pid=6359#top_display_media
and have only gotten this far too.

Roman Provincial, Phrygia or Cilicia, Hieropolis (or Hieropolis-Castabala), Julia Domna, AE
AE23, 9.17 g
Obverse: IOVΛI ΔOMNA CЄB, draped bust right
Reverse: IЄPOΠO ΛЄITΩN, Dionysos standing left, holding thyrsos and kantharos, panther at his feet.


Unpublished (?).

Maybe someone of you knows.

Thank you and best wishes
