Elagabalus- Magnesia ad Maeandrum
« on: January 23, 2021, 08:44:36 am »

Hello,
this ae16 certainly by Elagabalus for Magnesia Ionia.
straight M AYP ANΩTNINOC
reverse MAΓN ....... should be MAΓNHTΩN. Cult statue of Artemis Leukophyene standing in front, crowned by two flying Nikes.
I only owed an identical coin in the Numismatik Naumann auction, but it had no classification and it is not present in the RPC ol line.
I ask for help with its classification.
Thanks

RPC shows this obverse only with

Dionysos : https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/5105

and

Pan reverse: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/5106



Both obverses are very similar to you coin, but too worn to make a safe statement about the possibility of  "die matches", but all have this V shaped drapery.

You should submit your coin to RPC.

Thanks in conclusion there is no classification for this coin.
I don't know how to send it to Rpc online, I also use a translator to post here on the site.
If you want you can send it to you I authorize.
A greeting
