Hallo,

it comes from Apameia of Bithynia with Diadumenian, as Caesar.

Possibly unpublished.

This type, for Diadumenian, is unknown to me. I do not have another in my Bithynian photo file.  Would it be possible to get a photo without fingers? Preferably on a white background?  With your permission, I'll submit it to RPC.

Hallo Tom,

what i can read on obverse legend is ...[A]NT ΔIΛΔ CΛЄ
This legend in combination with a bare young male head reminds me of Diadumenian.
I couldn't find it even in Recueil Général.
What makes me skeptical is the bilingual use of latin and greek letters like the Greek Delta Δ.

Alex,

My email can be easily found by clicking on my user name and viewing my profile.  I don't think this hurts me.
