Hi SO,

Thanks for posting your coins in your gallery. As Tracy wrote, they are impressive.

I have several Cappadocia coins:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/meepzorp/rp_cappadocia_pt02.htm

In the coming weeks, I will probably be adding another one (with a temple reverse) to those pages.

Salve Sebastian! Great to see you here.
To other users - He's new on FAC but definitely the one to watch. Sebastian is already a huge Cappadocia collector and passionate.
Best!

Hello Guys! It's nice to meet You. Thanks Luca Romano!
I've added to my gallery some coins of Trajan and Hadrian (with my "pearl" - tridrachm of Hadrian from Comana with a temple and statue of goddess Mâ, without this exemplar are known just two spicemens in Berlin Museum).

You have chosen a very interesting topic for a numismatic adventure. And I don't really believe that you will stay within the borders of Caesarea :-) As I see, you have already gone to Comana, and if so, maybe also to Arabia (the tridrachms there are also in Sydenham's), Lycia, Crete...

I see that you use references from Sydenham and RPC - I also recommend Metcalf's work for completeness (I hope FAC will highlight the appropriate link).

Dziki Zbeb thank You. I know of course a book of Metcalf. I think, that RPC Online is now the best catalogue of provincial coinage. i Have also one coin of Tyana (i'm looking for more, but it's not easy to find theese coins in a good condition).
Best!

Impressive collection there. I hope to add some of those Tiberius drachms to my collection eventually. Here is my Britannicus from Caesarea with the countermark depicting Mt. Argaeus.
