Help with Greek AE22
« on: September 16, 2021, 04:08:15 pm »
Below is a Greek AE with what looks like Zeus on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. I've found potential matches from Pontos, Paphlagonia, and Bithynia, but without a legible reverse legend, I am stuck. I would appreciate any suggestions from you all who may catch something I've missed.

There is also a curious countermark just below Zeus' head which may start "TEA.." Any ideas on that countermark would also be much appreciated. Many thanks!

Diameter: 22.4 mm
Mass: 8.17 g

Cheers,
Tim

Dear Tim M and Board,

I believe this issue from Pergamum with Asclepius's head on the obverse, an eagle perched on a thunderbolt on the reverse, and the name of the magistrate Seleukos (Seleucus) written below the head in the genitive (i.e. "ΣEΛEYKOY" or "of Seleukos") strongly suggests your coin:

Hope this helps!
