Etoyc Year M from Tyana
« on: March 07, 2023, 03:12:49 am »
Hi Everybody,

I recently bougth this coin from Tyana : Bronze - Ø 18-19 mm - 6,3 grams - Die axis 11:00.

1.   [AY KAI]C TRAI AΔPIA-NOC [CEBACTOC]
   Bust of laureate (?) head of emperor in the bloom of his life facing right
2.   TYAN[EΩN T Π T IE]P ACY AY / ЄT - KA
   Athena, draped, standing full front facing right holding, right arm outstretched, holding shield and
   spear. 

When was his KA year ? For what date does it stand ?

Thanks for helping out !
Regards

Usually Tyana has counted regnal years. Isn't is actually ET IA? Then it would be the 11th regnal year = AD 128/9.

Cheers
Jochen

... if it is KA here: ...
This type is documented only for years K and KA, so with high probability it is KA  :).
