Unpublished (?) Maximus from Mopsus

(1/1)

Thilo:
Happy New Year to you all!

The year began with this coin in my mail box:

AE 31, 22.61 grm.

Obv. (…)AION OVHRON MAXI(…), laureate, draped and cuirassed bust r.

Rv. AD(…) ET GT, Dionysus standing facing, looking l., resting on column, holding long thyrsus and cantharus over panther l.

While a similar coin exists for Maximus and Adana (RPC VI, 7150 (temp.), Levante, Adana 213 et seq.), the obverse legend seems to exist only for Mopsus (RPC VI, 7170 (temp.), von Aulock, Mopsos 74, SNG Levante Supp. 319). The GT date on the reverse also indicates Mopsus.

So, any help on published specimens is highly appreciated. Otherwise, I will stick with unpublished but inform the RPC team.

Best regards

Thilo
