Septimius Sever from Lydia (Saitta)
« on: February 12, 2024, 11:16:01 am »
Hi,
I'm looking for any reference to below coin. I know that it is coin was struck in Lydia, in city Saitta. On the obverse is Septimius Sever(?) and legend but not clearly. On the reverse is very rare god Mên with Phrygian cap, with pine cone and on the his shoulders is moon crescent.
I think coins from Saitta mine with Mên and times of Septimus Sever,  that are very rare and can't find any reference.

Obv:  :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Upsilon: :dot: :Greek_Kappa: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Iota: :dot: :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Pi: :dot: C :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Omicron:[...] :Greek_Omicron: :dot: C  :dot: :Greek_Pi: :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Rho:

Rev:  :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Pi_3: :Greek_Iota:  :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Nu: :Greek_Delta: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Nu: :Greek_epsilon: :Greek_Iota: [....]
and letters:
 :Greek_Tau:   :Greek_Eta:   
:Greek_Nu: :Greek_Omega:   :Greek_Nu:

... Here is BMC 42: ...
In fact it seems to be number 43 on page 220 because of the layout of the reverse legend: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/BMC/BMC_Lydia.pdf#page=372&zoom=auto,-304,597

Another reference is Waddington 5176 with a less detailed description: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k399052q/f337.item
which is probably this coin from Paris: https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb41784088p

Dear Altamura,

thank you for your reply, yes BMC 43 is correct. In BMC 42 is missing letter T and H on the reverse.
