Hello! A new batch of coins in, with some of the usual
. This one is very worn but,
still, interesting. It should be from Caesareia,
Cappadocia, and be from
Caracalla (or
Geta maybe).
Reverse shows Mt
Argaeus with 2 formations, one at each
side wich seems to be independent of it (I think). From the other representation I've seen of this Mt
Argaeus, those 2 formations are absent. What could they be ? Extension of the usual representation of the mountain or human constructions. They mention a
type on snible.org that "shows two columns or towers, enclosed within a palisade, beside the mountain" (B. M. C., Pl. XIII. 2), but no pics. Could this be it? Any other infos on this one? Thanks!
Pierre
