Hi everybody
i own this little bronze 15,1 mm. Ø - 2,33 g. that first impression reminds me the bronze struck by Caracalla/Elagabalus in
Carrhae (the coins was found in Jordan).
The
obverse represents e
radiate head end its possible to spot the letter NЄ (i suppose belonge to the
legend AV K M ANTωNЄINOC).
The
reverse depicts the crescent with pendant fillets (usual
Carrhae's symbol) but instead of having a six rays
star or a rosette of seven pellets as usual, above the crescent is represented another smaller crescent (doesnt appear to be double stuck). I couldnt find this variant on internet and
BMC.
Any
help would be very much appreciate.
Best wishes Filippo
