Orthosias, Phoenicia, c. 30 - 28 B.C.
|Phoenicia|, |Orthosias,| |Phoenicia,| |c.| |30| |-| |28| |B.C.|, A similar type was struck at Orthosias for Cleopatra with her bust on the obverse. After Antony and Cleopatra were defeated, under the rule of Augustus, her bust was replaced by Tyche. RPC lists this type dated with years 36, 40 and 41. No date is visible on this coin. The date may simply be worn or perhaps it is an early issue struck with an undated die. The reverse style is so close to that of the coins struck under Cleopatra that the die may have been recycled from her last issue with her regnal year erased.
