Sorry, it was me asking around on the net for the identification of these coins, Cornelius posted them here for me. These are coins in the museum excavated 50 years ago, and we need an identification to publishe them. This one is 29/31 mm., 11.06g. Obverse is Septimius Severus and reverse has Zeus in the middle flanked with two heroes? The mint may be somewhere in western Asia Minor but I still haven't found something like it.

They are not easy, I looked for a while and didn't find anything.
It's 681, NOT 680 though, 680 has only Zeus on throne.

Oooops, sorry you are right, it is 681. The SNG two figures flanking Zeus as god pair. I guess the should be Dioscuroi, but with no attributes. Or maybe some heroes, ktistoi? Anyway at least we have an ID for it at last (waited since 1950s:))
