Is it Pergamon?

[slokind]

The second coin in a 2-coin lot.  Do I really read Pergamenon?  This is a period and grade of Pergamene coinage that doesn't get much attention.
Is that wretched little figure really Asklepios?
Æ18  3.16g  axis 5:30h  Septimius, laureate, head to r.  [traces}  ]  SEBHROS.  Rev., probably Asklepios stg. frontal, head to l., leaning on snake staff under his r. arm, half draped with end over his l. shoulder.  Evidently, PERGA    MHNWN (and possibly one more character).  One of two in a lot of two listed simply as Lydia and Phrygia.  The other is Saitta (Lydia), but this one seems to be Pergamon.

Indeed, senza dubbio.  Only the one that was sold very cheap in an unmentionable venue looks much worse.  Thank you.  Pat
