Provincial in bad shape #1
« on: July 01, 2013, 05:24:38 am »
I'm really not good at Roman Provincial coins and I lack the literature, so if you can please help me with two coins. they came in a larger lot and these two are in pretty bad condition, but I thought maybe someone would recognize them anyway.

first one is Hadrian AE 28mm, on reverse Zeus standing left with eagle at feet.

In my honest, it seems like a coin from Cilician Germanicopolis. Unfortunatelly, I cannot give you a reference to RPC, but I have a pic of similar (?) coin. (attached)

Best,
Alex

thank you, the iconography is similar, but it was a very popular reverse type, so this is not it. Any more suggestions ?
