Dear Clueless!

Thank for your post. HrHJ distinguishes between river gods and mountain gods. Your coin shows a mointain god. It is already listed under No. 8.25.43.7 (same dies).

Hi,

Thanks for correcting me, I didn't notice that river and mountaingods are separately listed.

Are you sure this is A KEM and not L KEM?  It looks like a lamda in the photo.

Dear Tom!

We had a lengthy discussion in 2012 about this strange obv. type and whether it was Geta or Caracalla. We had been discussing L KEP and the like until Curtis said that because it is a laureate bust it should be Caracalla as young Augustus. Then the most appropriate solution would be A KE M. I then adopted this. I have a total of 3 more copies.

With kind regards
Jochen
