Regling's monograph from 1906 was the first die study of any Greek coinage to be published. The obverse die break is known from at least 4 other specimans (Roma, CNG, Nomos, Seaby's Coin & Medal bulletin April 1975, A236 and front cover) all sharing the same obverse and reverse dies. Further examination could possibly help place the coins in chronological order of striking based on die wear.

I missed out acquiring the Seaby coin when it was auctioned at the Geoffry Bell Toronto Coin Auction in 2017. Since then I've been on the lookout for one of these coins with the die break. 7 years later, I finally added one to my collection.9 commentsJay GT404/05/24 at 22:17T.MooT: Just read your comment on mine, same die break, fa...

TRIPTOLEMOS (Triptolemus) was a demi-god of the Eleusinian mysteries who presided over the sowing of grain-seed and the milling of wheat. He was one of the Eleusinian princes who hospitably received the goddess Demeter when she was mourning the loss of her daughter.

It has been proposed that the cow depicted on this type is one of the famous statues by the fifth century BCE Greek sculptor Myron. Myron's statues were brought to Rome by Augustus and were placed in the temple of Apollo on the Palatine in 28 BCE. Vespasian moved them to the new Temple of Pax that he began constructing in 71 CE, to celebrate the end of the Jewish War.

This coin was described by the auction house as a Limes (unofficial) coin. However, this coin is indeed solid silver with a heavy dark toning and encrustations, as can be seen on the reverse. The double strike obverse, Ad Marco scoop on the reverse and being a double die match to the Sneh coin make this an official coin from Antioch. Interestingly, the Antioch version is more common than the Rome mint issue. One which I am happy to add to my collection. I may try to remove the encrustation from the palm tree and back of Judaea.4 commentsJay GT402/03/24 at 06:25quadrans: Great find 👍😲😉🤗

The pose is most likely taken from a cult statue of the goddess. 6 commentsJay GT401/18/24 at 17:26ancientdave: Great find!

The reverse depicts Domitian participating in the Judaea Capta triumph of 71 A.D. He is, as Josephus described him, riding alongside in magnificent apparel and mounted on a horse that was itself a site worth seeing.

RIC notes that this is "presumably a mule, with the reverse of Domitian from the parallel issue." David Atherton believes the reverse die is intentional for both Titus and Domitian, making this an official pairing of dies for Titus. Regardless, the type is very rare. None in Forum galleries.9 commentsJay GT401/10/24 at 01:27Nemonater: Wonderful!
