I got these early in my collecting in a random lot of semi-cleaned coins. I was very proud of them at the time, and they are still among my favorites, because of the excitement I felt when I realized they were Julius Caesar and Augustus coins--my first of either of the first 2 Caesars.

Notes: Historical issue celebrating the local Pythian Games in honor of Kabeiros at Thessalonica (not the Pythian Games at Delphi). But for this album I am sharing it for the extra-large incuse circular formation on the reverse.

While opinions long differed over the function of these "centration dimples" (or "centering divots" or "flan preparation marks") -- found on bronze coins of many Roman Provincial mints, some Ptolemaic bronzes, and a few other Greek types -- they are now generally accepted as having been using in the lathing of the flans prior to striking. The rotational marks sometimes seen inside the divots indicate they were used to center to the coin or apparatus while mechanically smoothing the flan. Whether any progress has been made in determining exactly what these apparatus looked like or how exactly they worked, I am unsure.

See Nurpetlian (NC 2018, p. 241, "central holes," & pl. 20, 17-19 [LINK]).

The 'horn-shaped symbol' - often attached to the Thessalian Kabeiri - has no special connection to the cult of this deity - as suggested so long - but is an elephant tusk which we find as dedicated gift to Serapis, Isis, Astarte and Atergatis too (Gaebler, AMNG). 2 commentsJochen
