I believe that the
reverse is Aphrodite standing left, holding an
apple. The only place I have seen this
type listed is in
Schindel's
work on coins excavated from the "Hanghaus 2 Wohneinheit 6" in
Ephesos, as one of two coins of Temnus found there. Unfortunately there is no image in the copies that I have (the actual book of all the finds of
pottery, marble, building material,
statues, coins etc. and the plates costs over 280
Euro!). The description (translated into English) is
Autonomous Issue
Temnus
28. AE. 2,22 g. 7 h. 14 mm. (Plate 217, M28)
Obv: Bust of
Athena right, wearing helmet and with
aegis.
Rev: THMN–EITWN, Aphrodite standing left, holding
apple and hem of robe.
SNG Cop 4, 274
var. (
Style,
obv. type,
rev. image)
Repository: Efes Müzesi, No. 222/24/83
Found in lower storey in the plaster of the dividing wall 1S, 2nd June 1983
So if it IS Aphrodite, a reference is Efes Müzesi 222/24/83, or
Schindel (Hanghaus 2) 28.
I will prepare it for
wildwinds and add it to the
Isegrim xls list.
